"Wade is a wonderful, Christian man. always respectful and helpful. All of his work is very professional, and he listens to the customer. He put in a new bathroom and a storeroom in our lower lever from scratch. It looks beautiful. He also installed ceiling tiles in our basement, installed cabinets in our garage, installed a lighted ramp to our front door for my handicapped husband, and repaired our yard light. All of the work was done in a timely manner."

"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."

"Great work and reasonable price! Coy and his team did a great job installing a new shower for me. I was impressed that they took extra time to do things right instead of cutting corners. Great communication and a pleasure to work with. I would definitely choose them again!"

"Juan did a fantastic job helping me yesterday. I had just moved into town Monday. I really needed someone to handle without a lot of oversight. He brought his own tools and did a great job. He cleaned up at the end. I will definitely used him again."

Hi there! I have about 9 years of experience with home remodeling, house flips, and currently I am focused more on carpentry (custom closets, interior/exterior trim, etc.) and flooring. I am still open to most home repair needs. I am new to Angi, but feel free to check out some photos of my work in the project photos. I am also willing to share more photos. Feel free to email me at [email protected] or call/text at 3179032308. Thanks!

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

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.

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

Homeowners can increase the usefulness of their garage space in other ways, and one option is to extend the length of the garage by making it deeper. The process is similar to traditional garage extensions, but the end product is a garage with a different layout rather than additional parking spaces. 

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.
