"They came back to see if everything was satisfactory. We did a few adjustments. They cleaned up the workspace every single day. They left me no mess. I’ll be calling them again to come and do another little job. They’re easy to work with"
"I had a great experience working with Bryan. He actually showed up when he said he would and had great communication which is hard to find with a contractor. I’m pretty picky and I was happy with his work. Total bathroom gut including subfloor. New everything. Nice tile work. It’s been 6 months and no problems thus far."
"They just completed my home paint job today and i am super excited at the new look. They where very prompt and professional and my husband and I really enjoyed their company. They left the site clean and moved all of the furniture free of charge. They also did not work any other jobs while on our site and i really appreciated the dedication provided by the contractors. I would highly recommend them to friends and family. Thumbs up to Covenant Contracting Services"
"Shane did a superior job of staining the wood fencing that runs around our house and farm. It was a lot of work in difficult conditions since he was doing the staining in January. He worked around the weather (remember the week of snow in West Tennessee) and came back to finish as promised whenever we got a days warm enough to apply stain. We highly recommend Southern Builders."
"They are on time with excellent work ethics. Their grass cutting lines are amazing. Their customer service is Flexible and Friendly. Their prices are reasonable."
Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.
Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.
Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.
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.
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.
