"I hired Jesus and his team to do some framing and drywall in my unfinished basement. He framed around the duct work and installed drywall ceiling and drywall at stairwell. Jesus did an excellent job. He gave a competitive bid and has been pleasant to work with. No problems. I highly recommend him and I would hire him again if I decide to have more work done on my basement."

"Great experience! Showed up on time, worked hard, well organized, friendly, accommodating, and no surprises on the fee. The emptied out my entire garage(complete mess without any available space), built three heavy duty racks, and then returned everything in an organized fashion. It's like a whole new garage. It sounds like a simple job but it definitely was not."

"Donald and his crew did an excellent job replacing our wooden residential fence. He handled the demo, the clean up, and the build in just a couple of days (they even worked in the freezing cold!) His communication was excellent and when he and his crew finished the job, they left no mess behind. I definitely recommend this crew!"

"I would definitely recommend Mr. Handyman for any job. You had around the house that you could not handle the 2 technicians who came out and worked on the project that I had were very professional of. J.R. was especially attentive to my needs. He explained what he was doing why he was doing it and whether or not I wanted it done. And I really appreciated the fact that he took the time to explain what he was doing to me and. Why it was in his main opinion, the best course to take. I am going to use them again for another project and I am very, very satisfied."

"Emanuel Schmidt (owner) and his crew, although having been in business for just a few years, was exceptional to work with. From the communications, to the quality of workmanship for the price, to the customer service provided, to the respect they showed me as a homeowner, to the final walkthrough for quality that Emanuel came and did prior to final payment.........I can't say enough about how well they worked with me on this job. I had changed my mind several times in the process as we were picky about the deck we wanted to add to our above ground swimming pool. Materials were composite for the deck, and he completed the job an ample time for our needs. I would highly recommend PLS Construction in the future to anyone needing quality Amish craftmanship. Thank you to Emanuel and his crew. Please call me if you want a reference about PLS."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

It's possible to turn your carport into a living space, but there are additional factors to address over turning it into a garage. HVAC, plumbing, and electricity won't be optional, and you'll need finished flooring, drywall, trim work, and legal ceiling height, for starters. Also, keep in mind that living space conversions may require upgrading the foundation underneath, and the permits might be more expensive as well.
