"How good is Ed Chachere? It's hard to put in words the detail and meticulous nature of Ed and Elijah. Their work is as close to perfection as possible in a restoration of a home where lumber was cut to a different specification than you find today. They have repaired walls, floors, renovated bathrooms, resolved problems with old construction, and are in the final process of bringing the home back to it's original glory. Ed is proficient at working with other contractors and has been invaluable in his ability to coordinate efforts. Needless to say, not only has Ed done a fabulous job on the home's interior, but he has also saved our sanity during the process. Interior of the home is near completion and we are starting on outside."
"It took a half day of work to repair the structural problem, and another two days for the tear off and refinish. Prin was very personable and onsite much more then other contractors that I have used in the past. I hope this post brings his company many more referrals. I will surely use them again!"

Im 44 years old. Happily married with 3 kids and 5 grandchildren. I graduated high school in 1995, and an associate's degree in drafting and design in 1998. I worked in the oil industry as a mechanical designer until my unfortunate layoff in 2016. After about a year working from home i realized i couldn't go back in the office for 5 days a week. Since i was 12 yrs old i worked with my uncles repairing and building houses and other structures. So I decided to take advantage of it along with the uncanny ability to fix things and start providing handyman services. And here we are.
"Incredibly professional and meticulous and enthusiastic. His workers were great, did a fabulous job. He kept on schedule and dealt with other contractors and some messy problems caused by others. He was exceptionally clean and was tuned into protecting and keeping my house from damage. His work was superb.
"When we decided to redo our kitchen in April of 2012, we knew what we wanted fixed, our budget and that's about it. We started talking to contractors, kitchen design centers and researching ideas. We quickly realized we were in WAY over our heads. A lot of places offer free design services if you buy all of your materials through them. We didn't want to be tied down. We didn't want a complete tear down to the studs, either. Homemade Design to the rescue! First of all the price was an absolute steal for the service provided. Amanda and co. Listened to what we wanted and came up with inovative,functional and beautiful solutions. Our house is old. We wanted to keep that 1920s feel, but still have a dishwasher, granite countertops and stainless appliances! Amanda had the brilliant idea of only replacing the bottom cabinets. She also gave me excellent instructions on how to refinish my existing cabinets so they look like new. This was a perfect solution for US. Homemade Design gave us ideas for layout, cabinets, lighting, wall paint, appliances, furniture, countertops, backsplash, faucets, sink,and cusions for built in. She would have recommended flooring if we wanted,but we didn't. Now, Amanda is more like a consultant...( I actually called her my kitchen remodel therapist). You still are ultimately responsible for the plan and what works for you. If your measurements are off (like mine were) that's on you. I was adament about no island and no microwave over the stove and so she didn't put those in the design. Some suggestions were not my style. And I said so. Honestly, if I picked out my own kitchen it would be so safe: white subway tile or something. Amanda gave me the guts to mix patterns and create something spectacular! It took almost a year to complete ( contractors fault) We did a lot of work ourselves. We bought the cabinets, backsplash tile, light fixtures, table and banquette cusions through Homemade Design at a great discount, we checked!! If you try shopping for any part of your kitchen, the volume of choices can be overwhelming. We loved having Amanda narrow it down for us. Communication was through email, mostly. She never took longer than three business days to respond to my million questions or concerns. Awesome. 5 months later, my kitchen is a dream come true. And I owe it all to Homemade Design! "
Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.
Bow windows need support because they are large and extend out from the exterior wall of the home. Bow windows may extend 1 foot to several feet from the outside of the home, so you’ll need to provide additional support to handle this weight. A window contractor will be able to provide the proper amount of support for your new bow window.
There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet.
Building a barndominium means converting a barn into a house. Barndominiums are becoming popular as spacious and stylish alternatives to typical housing structures. Old barns that become houses traditionally consist of wooden construction. However, newer structures, such as pole barns, often contain metal exteriors and roofs. Converting a metal outbuilding into a house presents an excellent opportunity to create a barndominium from metal.
Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.
