Thanks to our innovative process, incredible craftsmanship, and unwavering dedication to excellence, we have amassed a long list of satisfied customers. Prepare to be impressed.

"We had a great experience with Kitchen Saver. Taylor, our salesman, was patient and took all the time necessary to answer our questions. Bernie visited our house twice to secure all the measurements needed, so that he could place the order for our handmade cabinets. And last, but not least, Nathan Reichert, our installer. Wow! He was incredibly meticulous with installing our new cabinets. The quality of both the cabinets and drawers are superb. Thank you Nathan for everything you’ve done for our kitchen. We absolutely love it."

"This contractor supposedly and mis-understood my statement to and remove snow and and preceded to upcharge me twice. While I will say his and people did a good job, he proceeded to be sarcastic with me about the snow removal and amount, then told me I should have done it myself. He overcharged me based on his quote even though I agreed to the larger amount, then proceeded to charge me more based on his workers assessment of the snow being over 6 ft. tall even though I had told him it was about the size of a car (see photo). He initially was going to charge me $400 for 2 parking spaces, but said he had to charge more due to the excessive snow he had to move, I reminded him that in our original conversation I has asked him to and remove the snow, not move it, and he claimed he misunderstood me. He then told me I should have done it myself. I paid him his asking fee, but do not ever use this person or his company, he is clearly a scammer, and will try to up your bill if he thinks he can. $600!"

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.

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.

Depending on your carport's configuration, foundation or slab condition, and location in relation to the house, turning a carport into a garage has a lot in common with adding an addition to your home. However, you can skip some of the necessities of adding living space to your home, such as fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall or HVAC. It might be possible to DIY the conversion, but it’s complicated and potentially dangerous work, so it’s best left to the professionals.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.
