"Gaby is excellent. He quoted my job accurately and honestly. He worked quickly and effectively- and was done in the time he had predicted. His work is stellar- we are so happy with our deck. He is also so kind and wonderful to have around. I highly recommend Gaby- I will use him again for all my carpentry needs. He is an excellent carpenter!!"

"Dharma was the only professional that I could find that had the experience to handle my roof cleanup and now my house looks brand new again! Will definitely be using him again in the future & would recommend anyone is central or eastern MA to use him as well!"
Masonry Patio Restoration Nature had it's way with this patio. Ideally I first apply an Algaecide and return a few days later, but we can do this just as well in one trip. Installing new stone-dust or ploymeric is an optional service : www.housewash.com
Wayland Roof Restoration
Roof Cleaning - removal of moss, lichen, algae and detritus. Chimney brick was also cleaned ::: https://www.housewash.com/
Any porous surface is prone to algae, moss and other growths. After treatment I can use medium pressure to remove all the schmutz. https://www.housewash.com/
Vinyl siding cleans up like new. It's the only maintenance you'll ever need to do. I do offer the option of a wax application which allows me to guarantee mildew and algae does not return for 2 years. If it does return I rewash at no charge.

"Excellent work by Jorge and his carpenter building a new stairway on our deck and redoing the posts on our front porch to level and strengthen it. They the most inexpensive option, but they more than delivered on what had been promised. Jorge was an excellent communicator, clear about scheduling and always appeared exactly when he'd promised to. I'm late in posting this review, but the benefit of being late is that I can add that six months later we are still very pleased with their work and I would recommend them highly."

"They did other work besides brick work! Installed a basement window, a retractable screen door, outside railing. Extremely satisfied with work done! Pricing was good! Time frame was less than expected! They cleaned up, left no trash! I would highly recommend them! Workers were very polite!' Osvaldo stayed on top of everything! I can't say enough! I would definitely use them again."

"Mr DeVaux did an excellent job on the finish carpentry work, painting and staining on a stain glass window frame install in an existing wall. The mitered corners had no gaps. Even though the job requirements changed somewhat there were no additional charges. I plan to hire him again on additional projects."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

The cost to convert a carport into a garage averages about $22,000, ranging from about $15,000 and $55,000. Additional cost factors to consider include size, time of year, and how much of the carport you can reuse. Other cost factors include the kinds and amounts of materials used, such as:

  • Add insulation: $1 per square foot

  • Add drywall: $1–$3 per square foot

  • Add window: $450–$2,000 per window

  • Add outlets: $75–$500

  • Add garage door: $250–$11,200

  • Enclose framing: $5–$13 per square foot

  • Replace roofing: $1,000–$2,000

Yes, most services include necessary frame modifications for proper door fitting. Confirm with your provider.

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.
