"Like all homeowners finding a competent contractor is difficult. I recently had my home exterior painted and requested a bid from my prior painter and a new company that I found advertised in the Johnson County Home Magazine. Craig Anderson, Residential Solutions, (who I had not met previously) met me at my home and did a very thorough review of my project. He identified damage areas in the siding and trim boards that needed to be addressed. His bid provided details on each of the proposed repairs and on the paint project. He answered all my questions about the type of paint and the repairs. Craig was on the job site a portion of each of the work days. The entire project (minus the earlier siding power spray) was completed in 3 days. His crew also had to work around the gutter project that was being installed at the same time. The crew was hard working and respectful of my property."

"I can’t recommend Chad highly enough. He’s done several projects for me so far: replacing my exterior French door frame with brick molding, installing a new interior window sill, and adding drip edge/smart siding trim around the exterior of the house. Every job was done with care, skill, and attention to detail. He communicated clearly the whole way through, explained what needed to be done, and made sure I understood the plan before he got started. And he left everything clean when the work was finished, which says a lot about his professionalism. Beyond doing great work, he’s just a great person. Honest, dependable, and someone I fully trust in my home. I’ll absolutely be hiring him again for future projects."

"We had them build a wheelchair ramp on the end of our porch. They were very careful to make sure the ramp would work for my wheelchair. They also made sure they cleaned everything up when the project was done."

"Excellent job. Matt was on time, on budget, very polite, and mostly professional (Something went wrong and he recovered quickly) and I don't blame him one bit. He's human and has a good sense of humor. He quickly adapted to the unexpected (who could of known my house was built to be a bomb shelter) . I will use him again for all of my plumbing jobs."

"Seth spent the day here fixing wood rot on my door frames, installing weatherstripping, and repairing a hole in the wall. He responded to my request quickly, scheduled me promptly, and did a fantastic job. It gives me peace of mind knowing that I now have a highly capable and competent handyman to call on as these jobs come up. Thanks, Seth."

"The owner of the company was on the job, working with his crew. They completed contract work, did extras, did a favor for a neighbor and cleaned the driveway. We have recommended them to neighbors, had them come for another job and plan to call them in the spring. Cliffy Care is the perfect name for the company because they do CARE about the quality of their work."

"Gabriel and Cody did a wonderful job replacing our old and failed composite deck with beautiful, stained cedar. The new deck was built, updated with black metal spindles and stained. The existing arbor was reinforced, power washed and stained for the first time. It looks like new! They are good carpenters with attention to detail. We would highly recommend them!"

"They were recommended to us. Our 1/2-bath remodel was done in 2022. Watch what you pay. While their work was great, our 1-week project turned into 3 weeks plus without discussing it with us. He handed us a bill for $2,400.00 more than he bid, which we agreed to. His excuse was that it took longer to do some things than he expected. Not our problem. He kept saying no big deal and how long he had been doing this, so he should have known how long it would take to do things. We clearly outlined in writing what needed to be done. We discussed everything. We pointed out the termite damage, so he knew about that. He knew he'd have to build out the walls to put in a shelf. He threw away a wax ring for the toilet, then spent half a day driving around trying to find one that worked. His son would not show sometimes, so he said it took him longer because he needed his son help. Several days he did not show because he worked on another job. There were no hidden surprises on our end. We did not ask for additional things to be done. We stuck to our list. We bought the tile, shower base, shower door, shower head [and raised it up], new vent/light, and toilet. All they had to do was tear out the old, install the new in a half bath, and get any supplies he needed to do the job. His bid was $6,400.00, but we ended up paying $9,561.70 [$921.70 was tools and materials]. He charged us for an extra 14 hours at $160.00 per hour. His last day, he walked in and handed me a bill with the additional amount. What if we did not have that extra money? Why did he not tell us ahead of time that it was going to cost more? He just acted like it was no big deal; it was more than he bid, and we should have no problem paying the additional amount, which again, we were not made aware of and did not agree on. Of course I paid it, then kicked myself later. We should have paid what he bid, and if he wanted the rest, told him to take us to court."

"I don't think I've ever done business with a contractor/carpenter/handyman as reliable as Josh. He's honest, conscientious, competent, and a pleasure to talk with. Highly recommended."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.
