Customers say: True professional

"He explained to me why I have been having trouble with the storm door since it was installed and finally tightened the frame so that it shut firmly. I have had this looked at both by the company that installled it and by another handyman before and they had not helped. He also reattached some wood onto a removable window grid and inserted the grid into the window so that it finally stayed put, which, again, it has not done for some time. He was straightforward, pleasant and very fair.

"Patrick and his crew went above and beyond! I had a leak in my roof where I had a satellite dish at one time. They repaired the roof decking some of the framing and shingles. They did an excellent job in a timely manner. Will use them again!"

"The repair went well and looks good. I had to provide all of the materials and do all of the preparation. But for the cost, it was fair. And the carpenter cleaned up afterwards and left everything stacked nicely. The experience was a little less personal than I typically like.

"Replaced 3 privacy fence post. This required digging out the concrete to place new posts. They used a form cement that was setup in 15 minutes. They reinstalled the original fencing. They removed all concrete and rotted posts. The project took longer then they had expected."

"Extremely pleased with both the level of professionalism and customer service. Martin and his assistants went above and beyond what I expected. Very positive experience, which has been rare in our recent construction experiences. On time, quality work, does what he says and has great ideas. You can tell he is a true carpenter/designer that loves his work. We highly recommend and have already requested him for future projects."

"The siding that I wanted replaced was on the west side of the house, so there had been a lot of fading. He did an excellent job matching the siding and making sure that it didn't look like he just replaced the three bad panels. His price was more than reasonable."

"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!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

Metal stud framing parts include the studs themselves, upper and lower tracks that act as top and bottom wall plates, various angle fasteners and clips, screws for fastening pieces togeher, metal straps, c-channel supports, and thicker steel supporting structures. Roof framing metal components include pre-fabricated trusses, heavy-gauge stud pieces, and various plates and fasteners.

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.

Traditionally, bungalows are single-story homes, although having a half or partial story on top of the first floor is common. While adding a second story to a bungalow is certainly possible, the home would no longer be considered a bungalow by the strictest definition.

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.
