"Abe is incredibly efficient in his work. He did an outstanding job building my deck, and got everything done just how I wanted it and described. He inspects his own work as well to make sure it is up to his standards and if he notices something he doesn’t like, he will fix it immediately! He wants you to enjoy the space you have created in your mind and give you the very best of that work. He is a proud, hard worker, that loves what he does. I promise you that if you go with Abe he will give you the most excellent work!"

"I dealt with Tim for the price and project details and then Jeff was the man who came out to do the job. The deck had previously been done by a guy who did not know what he was doing so Jeff power washed the entire deck and let it dry for 24 hours, then he sanded the deck and scrubbed it down with denatured alcohol to help remove any remaining paint from before. When the deck was dry, Jeff taped off everything and proceeded to edge everything before he rolled a nice thick layer of paint on the deck. We waited another 24 hours and Jeff returned to apply a nice second coat of paint on the entire deck. Tim and Jeff are very easy to work with and I will most certainly come back to them for future projects."

"Bryan has restored my faith in contractors. I have been burned in the past by hiring the wrong people for projects. So when it came time to redo the basement I was very nervous. I needed someone to do deliver a great finished project so i could enjoy the other half of my house again and I needed someone to be VERY CAREFUL about the framing and drywall because if they messed up on the project it could have voided the warranty work on my foundation repairs and wasted thousands of dollars of work. Bryan was one of many bids we collected in the process he was not the cheapest but not the most expensive. He was a delight to work with from the get go. Bryan listened to our concerns about what we needed him to do and how it was absolutely necessary to build around the foundation work with no mistakes. I also added to the difficulty of the job by wanted to try to keep the walls as close to the foundation as possible so i could get as much square foot space as possible. Bryan was upfront about his upcoming projects and very honest and very realistic with his time frames. We wanted everything complete before Christmas. During construction there were some unforeseen things that came up as usual but Bryan was always able to address them and gave suggestions about how he could improve our vision. He even built us a custom door for our office. He was also very easy to work with on changes or additions as the project went on but kept us on track with our deadline. He was always willing to answer questions we had on the project (which there were a lot). Bryan and his crew were always on time and kept the project clean. My only regret on the project is we didn't hire Bryan the day he came out and bid the job. I have a few other large projects (deck, kitchen, bathrooms) that will all be going to Bryan."

"We had a security issue with our door late at night. Daniel was quick to respond that night and the next day. He was able to fix the door while on sight and then addressed additional issues with the storm door and gutter drains within a few days and at a reasonable price. He is professional, efficient and easy to work with. Highly recommend him for any job you need done around the home."

"Eric at K&E Home Improvements remodeled my Master bath which included flipping the drab tub/shower into an amazing walk-in shower with bench. I cannot say enough about Eric s expertise starting with demo to carpentry, tiling, drywall and painting. His work ethic is incredible; he is prompt, dependable and flexible. Eric constantly communicated with me in regards to the entire project, making sure I was l happy with the results. However, I was not happy But Thrilled ! I was so impressed and comfortable with Eric that I had him remodel my second bath and a half bath. Eric does not disappoint ! He completed all three in less than 8 weeks ! I will definitely be calling on Eric to remodel my lower level including another half bath. I look forward to begin my next project and working with Eric ! Thank you Home Advisors"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

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.
