"Mike installed new baseboards in several rooms. He came to measure, then picked up the baseboards that we'd chosen at Menards. He was easy to communicate with and did a fine job. I wouldn't hesitate to call him for work in the future."

Customers say: True professional

"Keegan (the owner of Park Ridge Construction)was great to work with. He provided us with a fair quote for building our new 18x18 deck. He was very professional and kept in contact with us on when the permit would be ready, when the materials would be delivered, and he would be over to work on the deck. He was able to finish our deck in two weekends. He did a great job and our deck is beautiful. We will be having him work on future projects for us."

"Northland handyman services was the first to reach out to me about my project. They made it extremely easy for me to brief them on the project at hand and gave clear estimates around the work they could do and when. They came to scope the job right away, gave honest guidance and feedback around what was realistic based on my budget, and sent a quote and contract that same day. A day later, they were able to come and complete the job — exceeding my expectations. They excel at communications, timeliness and quality. I’d recommend them to anyone."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

It's possible to turn your carport into a living space, but there are additional factors to address over turning it into a garage. HVAC, plumbing, and electricity won't be optional, and you'll need finished flooring, drywall, trim work, and legal ceiling height, for starters. Also, keep in mind that living space conversions may require upgrading the foundation underneath, and the permits might be more expensive as well.

Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.
