"Excellent. I called 6 places and only Mr Handyman would help. The office staff was so helpful and worked to get us help. The repairman that came out was very professional and knowledgeable. As importantly he was very considerate of my elderly father. Wonderful service."

"They completed our large deck project in just 4 days and $6K under the next lowest quote. Overall I was pleased with their work, but they did miss a couple loose sections of railing and we have already noticed a couple boards popping out of place a few months later. They missed a few things, but for the price and fast turnaround, I?m pleased with the work."

Hello there! I'm a Saint Charles/Saint Louis native and an experienced carpenter and remodeller of 17 years! Been in my own business since 2022. I love to do beautiful work at reasonable prices. I am focused on design-minded small construction and carpentry--this means that I am not primarily so focused on flashy features and the newest updates, and more focused on how I can create a project with you that makes sense with your specific house and it's architectural design. I love working with wood the most but really love doing most anything on a home and happy to do handyman work here and there as well. Please reach out so we can start a conversation! I'm happy to offer advice on how to navigate the construction industry or send you phone numbers of other great guys if you need other services. I focus on approachability and a down to earth experience. I love doing good work, i'm easy to deal with and show up when I say I will. Would love to work with you!

"They picked up the project that we could not finish. We had already bought the majority of the materials. They gave us a reasonable estimate for the deck, so we asked them to also quote the screened in porch. They finished all within 2 weeks. There was excellent communication and they were both very professional. I would recommend Nate and Mike!"

"This was the second roof repair I’ve had Accredited Roofing take care of, and once again they did a great job. They showed up early, got the repair done quickly, and made the whole process easy. Steve was very friendly, helpful, and informative, and he always responded right away whenever I had a question. After using them twice now, I’d definitely recommend them to anyone needing roof work."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.

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

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.
