Been a carpenter for over 20 years in the Des Moines area. Have worked with many different builders and realtors over the years doing simple tasks to complex builds and remodels. I enjoy my work and will never leave a project I cannot live with myself.

"I am extremely pleased with the repair of my 45-year old deck and steep wooden staircase from Ted Brown, the Deck Doctor. Ted was quickly responsive in getting me a reasonable work estimate. He began the work quickly, replacing damaged wood while maintaining original deck to keep my costs down where feasible. He was honest, personable and helpfully communicative. He and his assistant worked quickly and provided a thorough clean up each day. I highly recommend him. "

Have a gentleman help with household tasks. With 20 years of experience working in construction, I have a variety of skills to bring to your door. When you need someone for the little things you need done around the house, I’m your man. My experience includes furniture assembly, drywall repair, room painting, sink and toilet repairs, roof repairs, light fixture installation, picture hanging, and moving heavy things to where you need them. Not sure if I can do a job? Ask me! You will always catch me with a smile and be respectful of your property and preferences. I make sure jobs are done right and according to what you wanted done. A recent transplant to Iowa from the South, I’ll bring that famous hospitality so you will be comfortable having me work in your home.

In most cases, you can build a carport between 5 and 10 feet from your side property lines and within 10 to 20 feet from your front and rear property lines, at a maximum. However, the specific regulations depend on where you live. You can call your local building department to find out how close to your property lines you’re legally allowed to build.

Yes, home builders need to be licensed in every state and municipality in the country. The specific license required varies based on the location and the work, but most states require that the builder hold a general contractor’s license at minimum. Some states and cities also require that plumbing, electrical, roofing, and sewage system construction require individual licenses, in which case the builder may subcontract the work. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that the builder you’re considering holds all the proper licenses.

Hickory, red oak, white oak, and Brazilian walnut are among the most durable wood flooring options. Teakwood is extremely durable and known as one of the hardest woods. It holds up against weather and sunlight, but it’s costly and can be difficult to source. Keep durability in mind when installing floors for high-traffic areas in your home. 

Many providers assist with obtaining necessary permits. Confirm with your contractor.

Building a wooden carport costs between $3,000 and $12,000, depending on size, materials, and custom features.
