"I am an architect building my personal residence. Oakmont is great to work with! Joe is experienced in many areas. He has a great attitude and really works hard. He is constructing a number of features on the house, including the 1,000 SF covered deck. I highly recommend Oakmont."

"Elite tore down and hauled away an old deck that was falling apart and built a big beautiful deck in its place. Sergey was very responsive to our vision for the deck and he went above and beyond to make it happen. Several neighbors have noticed and now have deck envy.. Ha! I would highly recommend Elite to anyone looking to build a new deck."

"This job was to replace an old bathtub with a walk-in shower. I highly recommend them for your next project. The crew is professional and responsible. Clean up was exceptional. You will not be disappointed with the workmanship. The shower is lovely and price was reasonable. I would choose them again for any project."

"We just completed a comprehensive bathroom remodel (which included moving walls, installation of heated tile flooring), second bathroom update, exterior door replacement and assorted minor repairs with Happy Home Remodeling. Being new to the area, we were fortunate to come across a contractor that has knowledge, expertise AND troubleshooting savvy. (No construction remodel is without an unexpected glitch). We did interview a few contractors, as much for pricing but just as important, to get a feel for level of trust, reliability, competence and confidence. Mike ticks all the boxes. All along, communication was clear, regarding costs, scheduling of necessary permits, sub- contracting (plumber/electrician) and inspections. Installation was meticulously completed within the stated timeline."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

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. 

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.
