"Fantastic work! Myles Dover and his associate did a bang up job replacing my treads and risers with new red oak planks. It required careful work, intricate cuts and precision. They did a FIRST RATE JOB! They were professional, ethical and friendly. VERY EASY TOO WORK WITH!!! I have already booked him for two other jobs at my house. USE HIM!!!"

"Great company! Hunter came in and looked at the project we needed done and gave an estimate in 15 minutes! He then sat us down with a bunch of photos of previous work he and his crew completed and we were sold! Offered large discounts compared to other contractors we got estimates from. His crew and him did our entire master bathroom in a week start to finish! It turned out better than I could have imagined! I highly recommend Indy aces construction! Thanks Hunter!"

Customers say: True professional

"Very well. This company went out of their way to correct deficiencies left behind by the original builders. They care about doing things correctly -- even though the homeowner would not have been the wiser if the correction had not been performed. Great job! Whatever they do is first rate. You can trust their work."

"We used Premium Landscape Designs to regrade our entire backyard and install 3 retaining walls. We are planning to have a fire pit, walkway, and deck installed by them next year. We really wanted to use a smaller, local business and definitely got the service we were looking for!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

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.
