"The estimate for the cost of the project was accurate. The demolition phase was quick and the clean up was thorough. The project was completed early and the workmanship was excellent. I would definitely use this pro again and can give him my highest recommendation!"

"My fence is beautiful. Connor Dempsey went above and beyond to insure that the fence is what my pups and I needed. Connor also repaired the door for my breaker box, fixed the front faucet for my hose and put in my mailbox post. Connor will be returning to install a vent hood for my stove and fix a few stuck doors in a few weeks. Then, next year, I will hire him again to extend the back steps and build a back porch for my new home. Excellent work."

"Mr Rocha is very conscientious about his work and gives good advice about what the job will cost, at the same time helping save money wherever he can. Very personal and easy to work with. I felt his costs for repairing and sealing my deck were very reasonable for what I needed done. I was very satisfied with his work. I would hire again if I need repairs."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.

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. 

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.
