"I had hired Parsons Projects before and this was once again excellent service. They explained everything before the job, came several times during job to check on progress, and came the morning after and walked with me while examining work. Since there was a rain storm right after stain application, they are going to check a few areas later. Stacey, who did the job was honest (kept door unlocked just in case she needed in) dependable and extremely hard-working. I have hired Parsons Projects for three different jobs over the last few years and have them on standby for two other jobs that will probably have to be done in the future. I have passed out their business cards to my neighbors and friends. They do excellent work, are dependable and are extremely honest."

Customers say: True professional

"Grant and Chris are fabulous. They should have 6-7 stars, honestly. Excellent communication! They came when they said they’d be here, did excellent and thorough work, took it in stride when I added tasks to the job, gave me a fair price for their work, and were very cautious about cleaning up and taking care when coming in and out and walking through the house. They are also highly skilled and well-rounded. They handled a leak, roofing, deck replacement, fixing siding, securing railing, trimmimg and cutting a wall, setting in cabinets, wall repair, paint, repairing tile and vinyl plank floor and moving an electrical outlet. Other estimates I had for the same jobs insisted I’d need a roofer and electrician in addition to the carpentry and general wall work. These two did it all. They were efficient with their time but never rushed. They took the time for each task that was required. On top of that, they are just really good guys with pleasant and easy-to-be-around energy. They will be my go-to duo for the other projects on my list when my budget allows. I would trust them with any project for my home. So very glad I found them. Highly, highly, highly recommend."

"Wade removed my crumbling aggregate porch steps and replaced them with a wood set. I'm very pleased. His communication and promptness were great. He told me exactly what he planned to do and gave me a quote right away. Based on my experience, I'd definitely recommend Hansen Building & Renovations."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

A few signs that you need a new door frame include:

  • The door no longer fits properly in its frame and sticks or scrapes.

  • You notice cracks, holes, or rotting.

  • You feel a draft coming from around the door when it’s closed.

  • You find yourself frequently needing to make repairs.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.
