"Johnny Carenzo tiled 2 showers and a floor in our bathrooms, and painted the walls to match. One bathroom required removing old tiles that surrounded the entire room, reducing the length of a baseboard heater, and carefully working around an existing vanity with a custom Ashfield Stone top. It all looks fantastic, and it was done on time and on budget! His intelligent suggestions and comments were of great help, and he was a pleasure to work with."

"We had a great experience with building our deck. They were quick to set up initial meetings, and spent a lot of time with us reviewing designs and options. Building went quickly and smoothly, and they were quick to respond to any questions and concerns. We are beyond pleased with our new deck, they did such a beautiful job."

"Andre arrived a few minutes early. Which is great because I like people who are on time. He proceeded to carry the AC unit from my car located in the garage, to the bedroom where it was going to be installed in a window there. He immediately unpacked the contents of the box. Andre is very knowledgeable about this type of work. He had to adapt some pieces, as the unit was not compatible with the type of window I have. Andre did this with ease. His work ethic is excellent. In less than 2 hours he had the unit installed in the window. Andre was also very polite and personable. Thank you for referring him for this job. With Appreciation, Gilda Cannavino"

"Found Sentri on Angi. Jeanette and Violet were very pleasant and efficient in getting a contractor to me in the time frame needed. The contractor was excellent and the roof looks great! I would definitely work with them again if I had additional projects."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

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.

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.
