"R&S Decorating did a fantastic job with our interior painting. We closed on our house and they were there the same day to begin the work. They completed trim and all walls in one week. It looks like a completely different place now. I am so happy with the results! Very professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and very detailed with the work they do. They are reasonable with the cost as well. I highly recommend them and would hire them in the future for other home projects."

""I couldn?t be happier with the incredible work done on my home! They did an absolute standout job hand-painting the exterior and completely transforming our deck. The hand-painted areas are absolutely flawless?crisp lines, solid coverage, and a beautiful finish that you just can?t get with a rushed spray job. The deck looks brand new again; the prep work was thorough and the final coat looks rich and even. The team was punctual, kept a perfectly clean job site, and stayed transparent about everything from start to finish. If you want meticulous craftsmanship and real professionals who care about the details, look no further!""

"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!"

"When we built a new back stairway to our patio, it was such a pleasure working with Tri County Pros from start to finish. During the estimate process, co-owner Felice Tuttle was responsive, warm, and listened carefully to our needs. Co-owner Cassie set off the construction period with clear communication of what to expect, and checked in often to address questions. And the building crew -- Caleb, Nova, and Andrew -- were efficient, careful, ended each day with a cleanup of the site, and were just a delight to have around. We love the end result â a beautiful upgrade to our old deck, and much safer. I highly recommend Tri County Pros for any work on your home, and look forward to working with them again."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.

Yes, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.

Building a barndominium means converting a barn into a house. Barndominiums are becoming popular as spacious and stylish alternatives to typical housing structures. Old barns that become houses traditionally consist of wooden construction. However, newer structures, such as pole barns, often contain metal exteriors and roofs. Converting a metal outbuilding into a house presents an excellent opportunity to create a barndominium from metal.

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.
