"The project went very smoothly. Ferney communicated very well about the timing. The final cost was very close to the estimate. They used high quality materials, took their time, and did the work with care. They did detailed touches like caulking seams, repairing window frames. And the paint job was excellent. It is nice to deal with someone who plays things straight with honesty and integrity. I will definitely reach out to them again."

"Bill did an excellent job. Will definitely hire Bill again. We had 4 different projects that we needed help with an Bill did them all and did them well. Bill helped us with kitchen counter caulking, needed carpentry to replace rotting wood around the front door, cleaning out and reworking the dryer vent piping plus repaired the back fence gate that was a problem getting stuck for years. Bill was a pleasure to work with and even scheduled the project to suite our availability. As I said we will definitely hire bill again."

"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."

"The work was done timely and correctly. The Mendez company had to be exact because I had a CUSTOM door that was going to be installed and I have the work done to exact specifications. The project went off without a problem as the Mendez company found low cost ways for me to repair the damage and they properly prepared my home for the new custom door. Thanks Mendez Carpentry and Painting."

"Did exactly what we needed and poured a concrete slab and constructed an out of the box shed and anchored it to the concrete. Came out perfect and exactly the quoted price. Would hire again no hesitation."

"Dimitri and his crew did an incredible job with our house. This was a big job, but it went more smoothly than I could have imagined. Dimitri showed up when he said he would, the work was outstanding, and the project was completed earlier than expected despite cold weather delays! Because of the work that was being done, we had to move out of the house for a few months. Dimitri made sure we could move in again as soon as possible. Dimitri also made some great recommendations about how we should do certain things in the house. Turns out all the ideas he had were good ones! 
We have returned to Dimitri's Home Improvement many times since this initial project, and we have recommended them to our friends, family and neighbors.

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

If you remove a load-bearing wall to create an entrance to a carport or covered patio, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,500, with an average cost of $6,400. Factors such as the type of addition and if that area needs additional work will add to the price.

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.

Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.
