"They added a dormer to my house and did a great job. Framed, sided, roofed, and added gutters. They cleaned up everyday, laid down floor protections, and showed up everyday they were supposed to. I would definitely use them again"

"We had our deck redone and couldn’t be happier with how it turned out! The finished product looks amazing, and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. The attention to detail and quality of work really exceeded our expectations. Our deck looks like a completely new space! We highly recommend them to anyone looking to have their deck redone. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"Kevin and his team were wonderful. They were punctual, courteous, and very neat about clean up. He framed 5 windows and they all look crisp and bright. A+ on a thorough job which he stayed late to finish in just one day."

"Was looking to get a Safety Hand Rail installed at the entrace to the house from the garage for my parents. Was looking for something that would be functional and would look nice w/o being too fancy. Most handyman services discussed custom iron rail handrails that needed to be cut/adjusted on site and could easily run into $400-$500 for even the most basic design. Spoke with Ron and after listening to me, he proposed a simple wood system that would get attached to the floor and wall and a handrail on top. He had me supply measurements and pictures of the entrace, sourced the material and painted all the pieces before arriving and got everything installed over 2 days. The 2nd day was mainly to source the proper brakets for the hand rail after I changed how I wanted it installed. He really takes the time to listen to the customers request and provides feedback on what is doable. Very easy to work with and takes alot of pride in doing things well and correctly and not rushing. Will definately use Ron again for larger project also. BTW, he kept the final price at his original quote of $200 and saved me money over all the other custom quotes."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.

Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.

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.

Yes, professionals can install new frames, trim, and threshold adjustments for a complete finish.

Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.
