We work with you to identify your home improvement or repair goal and then provide you options that will keep your budget in line. We can help you with your project from design to done. We bring old world craftsmanship to every project. We make you our priority, keeping you informed and updated throughout your project. Our owner, Travis Lloyd Smith, has been learning the craft of good design and doing quality work his entire life. Owning an early 1900's home for the past ten years, Travis has enjoyed doing his own home improvements. Taking his passion for high quality craftsmanship and home improvements Travis serves Des Moines area homeowners as well as commercial property construction projects.

"Very disappointed with our deck remodel. Travis and his team gave a competitively priced quote but the final product was abysmally poor. Lots of hacks and poor fit and finish. Travis left and had subs finish our job resulting in very poor quality. Furthermore during demolition the team broke threw our walls and have caused leaks from our deck. Would strongly advise against hiring this company. No other services were offered to complete the job. The owner made multiple commitments that were not honored to come and fix the issues present. I even offered to pay for new materials. None of the issues pictured or discussed are due to "Rejected Suggestions to save on cost". The owner told me that demo took longer than expected and thus the project went way over budget. Yes, this is a deck from two seasons ago. I've waited to share this and give the owner plenty of opportunities to fix this issue. "Our hope is that this will prevent such quality issues moving forward" is a great sentiment, however these quality issues were easily remediable at time of completion and the multiple opportunities offered since."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.

Cupping and bowing are both types of wood warping, but they affect the board in different ways. Cupping happens when the edges of a board curl upward or downward, creating a concave or convex shape across its width. Conversely, bowing is when the board curves along its length, forming a gentle arc. 

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.
