"We are highly satisfied with the work we had completed. Insulation, drywall, framing repair, beam and post work, and painting. The basement looks great and we would definitely use them again in the future. Communication is great, pricing is fair, and there is a lot of care put into the work that they do."

"I contracted for a rear porch rebuild and JT and crew did an awesome job! I was grateful that JT was on site to answer any questions the city inspector had about the rebuild. I was also grateful for the clean-up each day. Thank you!"

"We gave Frank and his team (Rob worked the entire time so far as well) a million things to do and they did a fantastic job on everything. They're finishing some flooring they recommended also (so far, un.be.lievable!). I cannot recommend Frank highly enough. Great guy, honest, reliable and I will be hiring him for many years to come on pretty much EVERY need we have for fixes on the house!"

"Scott Miller from Crowbar construction came out to meet with us and discuss our problem with cracks and water seepage through the foundation of our condo building. He is very easy to talk with and really took the time to answer any questions we had about what needed to be done to correct our problem . Some of these other contractors I've dealt with are just really something else like they're just too concerned with telling you why they're the best and I also felt like they weren't being on the level about things at times. So we decided to go with Crowbar Construction to have all the necessary work done to stop the leaking into the basement unit.They did the injection sealing of the cracks on the inside of the foundation and also installed a rubber membrane on the outside. Well low and behold the following week we had a massive downpour of rain which caused a lot of flooding in our area. I am glad to say that we did not get any water into that basement unit. So apparently Scott's recommendations and scope of work that he and his crew did were right on the money.Problem solved. Crowbar did the work for a really fantastic price also.In fact I called Scott after getting the price for the outside portion of the work to ask him if it was negotialble.He had told me that he was already offering the work at a discounted price but that if the job went well he would try to discount it even more. Well the next day his secretary called me and said that he was in fact knocking some more off the price! My experience with Crowbar construction was a very positive one.In fact I already have plans of hiring them for future projects Scott Miller is a very decent and knowledgeable guy and a pleasure to work with."

"This was an excellent experience from start to finish. They contacted me immediately and scheduled an appointment to come out and look at what I was looking to do. After understanding my needs they created a design suggestion and I loved it, they sent me the design and price quote and once I signed off on it they contacted me to schedule the installation. They kept in contact with me, sent me the installers name and my installers showed up on time, was done in 45 minutes, they completely cleaned up and were very professional, polite and easy to work with. I was very happy and I would highly recommend them."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

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.

There are both temporary and permanent ways to enclose a carport. If you’re looking to enclose your carport for the winter, a canvas enclosure could do the trick. It won’t be as protective as a permanent structure, but it can offer some protection from elements like snow, rain, and wind. For a permanent enclosure, you can add extra walls, add a new vertical roof, or a lean-to addition on one side of the structure.
