"I used Scott's Home Renewal for a first floor renovation about three years ago, was pleased and hired them again for this. Not the cheapest contractor, but definitely the best I have used here. First class professionals; first rate subs, especially the tile and glass people The custom glass door arrived with the wrong specs, and the glass contractor got the factory to make a new one with only one day of waiting.. If you want it done right, contact Scott's."

"Josh the owner of Rebel renovation did a great job installing my new front door. Josh took the time to fix the framing so the new door fit like a glove. Josh took the time to install new trim and make it look like the door had always been there. Josh then cleaned up the site better than he found it he is a true professional and would highly recommend him for your handyman work."

"Ted, the estimator, used a very sharp pencil and was concerned with doing a good job at a good price. My deck had some rotting railing and needed staining. Ted, carefully looked over the deck and made his measurements. He explained what was needed and why so we understood what was the job they were going to do. They phoned before they were going to start so we had time to prepare. The crew started the work and introduced themselves when we check on their work. Immediately we felt very comfortable with them. They were friendly and explained what they were doing and why. As whith most projects, a little more damage was found. I asked that it be replaced as needed and I offered to pay since it was not included in the estimate. The extra damage was repaired but they stuck with their estimate and rejected my offer to pay an additional amount. The project turned out as nice as we were expecting. We will definitely hire them again."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.

Homeowners can increase the usefulness of their garage space in other ways, and one option is to extend the length of the garage by making it deeper. The process is similar to traditional garage extensions, but the end product is a garage with a different layout rather than additional parking spaces. 

Installing an ornamental or decorative porch column takes around three to five hours. Structural columns take longer because your pro has to install a jack to hold up the roof while switching the column out. If there's any structural damage, it can add several days to the timeline to repair the damage.

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project.
