"Arms Home Improvement exceeded our expectations from start to finish. Allen was involved at every stage of our kitchen remodel, helping us refine our ideas and enhance the space's function and safety. He was incredibly responsive, explaining every detail carefully, and respected our schedules as we work full-time from home. Allen was on-site consistently, maintaining an orderly workspace, which made the process smooth and predictable. His craftsmanship is top-notch, and his ability to turn our vision into reality was impressive. As with any remodel, there were some unexpected challenges, but Allen quickly adapted and provided thoughtful, high-quality solutions that reassured us of his expertise. We trusted his product recommendations, and they were always spot-on. The quality of materials and the precision of his installation speak to his deep experience and attention to detail. I can’t recommend Arms Home Improvement enough – the results are outstanding, and we couldn’t be more thrilled."

"Ferney renovated my whole house. The work included internal wall removal; complete bathrooms' renovation including tiling and fixtures; full kitchen renovation including cabinet planning and installation, island installation, and tiling; pocket door installation; hardwood floors installation; wiring and electric work including recessed lights; carpentry and painting. His last work was building a new wooden deck on the existing foundation.The work was done on the highest level both in terms of the skills and mastery, communication, and the level of trust. Ferney truly took care of my house as though it was his own - no shortcuts or sloppiness, including putting everything in orderly organized way at the end of each day. He has a lot of experience and he suggested many useful features. Personally he is an exceptionally honest and sincere person, and he is a pleasure to work with. He is the first person on my list for the work that is needed in the house."

"Amazing craftsmanship and quality work. I highly recommend Bill for any of your handyman needs. We we're selling our house and needed him to touch-up some items and he knocked it out of the park for a very reasonable price. Bill was always on time and was very trustworthy. Look no further for your handyman needs!"

"I have been searching for a fence installer for months, and I was thrilled to finally hear back from Simmons Handyman Services. Most of the estimates I received were way too high, and I felt like they weren't really listening to what I wanted. Demetrius, on the other hand, not only listened to my needs but also gave me some great recommendations on how to save money on the project. He was responsive, selected the materials needed online - I paid for via the cart link - picked it up and carted the old fence away. The fence turned out even more attractive than I had imagined. I will definitely be using his services again for future projects."

"Mr. Diaz and his crew did a beautiful job painting our new home, both the interior and exterior, as well as the interior of our old apartment.The prior condition of the exterior paint was very rough, and took a lot of preparation before they could paint. The crews were friendly, professional and conscientious about their work. They were punctual, showed up and worked consistently until the job was done. When we wanted to use a special finish on our floors, he found the people who could do it and made the arrangements, keeping costs very reasonable and competitive with other estimates. The end results look fabulous. Highly recommended."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The cost to install a bow window can range from $1,500 to $15,000, with a national average of $3,900. The total price includes materials, which can cost between $1,200 and over $14,000, and labor, which typically adds $300 to $1,900. Several factors influence the final cost, including the window's size and frame material. For example, vinyl frames are the most budget-friendly option, while wood frames are more expensive. Custom features or energy-efficient upgrades will also increase the price. For comparison, a bay window installation typically costs between $1,000 and $7,000.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

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.

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.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.
