My name is Steve and I specialize in interior stair case and railing renovations. I remove entire stair cases and railings, just railings, or just the spindles, and replace with brand new. I have been doping this for over 20 years and have plenty of references available. I am insured and I give free estimates. I work in the entire N.E. Illinois-area, except for the city. I don't usually work in Chicago. But it depends on how far in you are. We can discuss it. Please give me a call and lets see if I can help you with your project. Steve

"CJ Construction reconstructed a bridge that I need to go over a creek so I can get my riding mower to the back of my property. He was friendly, efficient, professional and did this unusual project at a good price. He was very thorough and made the bridge stronger and better than it ever was. I would hire him again for any project he was willing to do. No mess and considerate of property. I would hire Jeff again without even looking for another company."

"I had a drywall disaster one Saturday night. I thought the drywall on the affected wall would need to be replaced. As a matter of fact I was told that much by a very knowledgeable person. So I went to angie’s list with the intention to find a drywall installer. MKD was one of the providers i selected. I did that at about 8 pm on that Saturday night. I then turned on my TV to watch a movie not expecting anything till at least Monday morning. In about 3 minutes I got contacted by MKD and after discussing my options, I was happy to learn that all was not lost and that they could do a miracle saving me from installing new drywall - a 2k endeavor. And guess what, they could do it Sunday morning! Wow. Mario showed up exactly on time. He was very patient and friendly throughout the whole proce . He worked for about 7 hours and did an AMAZING job. I also asked him to touch an area in the kitchen that had bothered me and my wife for months. He took care of that too. We were a very happy family that night indeed. Thank you, Mario!! I’m going to use MKD for all my painting and deywall needs!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, building a screened-in porch on an existing deck is absolutely an option, although there are many factors to consider when adding a screened-in porch to a deck. You or the general contractor you hire will need to add a frame to a deck without a previous screen to keep it safe from damage. You’ll also want to work together to make sure your new porch matches your existing home style.

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. 

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.

Enhances property value, ensures safety, and provides a sound basis for future construction.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.
