"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."
"In August of 2016 Southeast Louisiana (Livingston, East Baton Rouge and Ascension Parishes) had over 41" of Local and Surrounding Areas of Rain that FLOODED the areas. OVER FOUR HOUNDRED THOUSAND (400,000) Homes and Businesses were DEVISTATED by the massive flooding. Our Two-Story Home in Denham Springs, LA (Watson Community) had over two feet of Flood, Swamp, Sewer Water for four days. The flood water DEVISTATED our Downstairs Living Room, Master Bedroom, Bathroom and Closets, Kitchen/Dining Room, Half-Bath and Stairwell Storage Area, along with ALL THE CONTENTS; Furniture, Appliances, Perisomal Belongings and etc. Our Garage along with it's contents were DESTROYED. We also lost TWO Vehicles (paid for... No Vehicle Payments) to the Flood, ALONG WITH ANYTHING ON OUR POURCHES AND IN THE YARD. We were STRANDED in our Home and could not leave via Vehicle for FOUR DAYS, luckily, we had Neighbors who had boats and checked on the Neighborhood. We NEVER SAW ANY FEMA workers or Charity organizations during the time we were flooded. After the flood, one day a Church group came into our Neighborhood with boxed lunches. Because of ALL the Citizens of Southeast Louisiana that were affected by the Flood, it was IMPOSSIBLE to find RELIABLE, HONEST and COMPENTENT Crafts to Re-Build our DEVISTATED Home. We contacted MANY Contractors who were Recommended by Neighbors and Friends, BUT the Contracts these Contractors wanted us to sign were RIDICULOUS! The Contracts Basically Stated that if the Contractor DID NOT PAY the various Crafts for the work performed, the Crafts could FILE SUITE AGAINST US for Payment. Also, the Contracts stated that any Insurance Money we received for the Flood Damage was to be place in Escrow, a separated Bank Account, so the Contractor could have ACCESS to the MONEY...??? My wife and I did MOST of the Demolishing (removing, Sheetrock, Insulation, Carpeting, Harwood Flooring and etc.). Luckily one day, one of our nice neighbors had the Live Oak Football Team over at his house helping out. The neighbor came over and asked if we needed any Heavy Lifting help. We had the team dissemble and remove our Custom Built Bernhard (North Carolina) Massive Bedroom Suite, with Dresser, Armoire and TV Hutch, along with our NEW 6 month old King Sized Sleep Number Bed, Massive Custom Built Bernhard (North Carolina) Dining Room Table and Hutch Buffet Cabinet, Sectional Sofa and other items to or front porch so FEMA could inventory the damaged items. We finally decided to Sub-Contract the Crafts ourselves, which was a NIGHTMARE. MOST of the Crafts we finally hired via “word of mouth” or Home Depot, were inexperienced and did a POOR JOB, Including an Established Local Flooring Business Located in Denham Springs, LA. I started calling ALL the Cabinet Makers in Denham Springs, Baton Rouge, Gonzales and MOST of SE Louisiana. LUCKILY, I FOUND David DeVall to make our Kitchen, Master Bath and Hal-Bath Cabinets, along with finishing up our Custom Shower and Installing the Shower Door. David DeVall did a GREAT JOB in building our Custom Cabinets and the work on our shower! David had gave me a quote to install the flooring and Custom Shower, I WISH I HAD USED David DeVall TO DO THE WORK NOW, because I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THE SHOWER AND FLOORING WORK done by the Established Local Flooring Business Located in Denham Springs, LA. We STILL have some jobs to be finished; woodwork around our fireplace and woodwork on the Livingroom/Kitchen Support Column, which was “POORLY” done by the man who we hired for Sheetrock and Painting (which the man and his crew did a poor job)… I will probably get David to finish up the woodworking. We still need our Fireplace removed and a New Fireplace Installed, I don’t know if David does this work. We also need Shelves built for our Master Closet and Pantry, I was thing of doing this myself but have not felt like doing the work. I RECOMMEND David DeVall for any Cabinetry work, Kitchen/Bath, Flooring and etc. or any other jobs he can do."
"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!"
"The owner came to our Terre Haute home to offer a free estimate, along with suggestions on how we could get the best use out of the space and options for construction. He was flexible and offered to bid the project with different options and combinations. The work began in a timely manner by workers who were prompt, courteous and productive. Apart from electricity, they required nothing of us and went about their business. The result was a lovely sunroom that my wife and I can enjoy year round. The construction was solid and attractive, adding value to the home.
There was one small glitch, in that they sub-contracted the gutters out to another small company. We went through two torrential rains before we could get them out to complete the work. We were able to contact Barrier and they got the contractor to come out and finish the job, which when finished, was nicely done.
My wife and I are very pleased with the entire experience. These guys were not the cheapest around, but if you want quality work, it is well worth having them do the job."

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.
Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
Professionals charge between $60 and $95 per hour to install ornamental porch columns. The amount of time they need varies based on the condition of the porch, whether they need to remove old columns, and if there is any damage to your porch's structure. This cost can increase if more issues come up during the installation process.
Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.
Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.
When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.
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.
