"Jay was amazing ..he had to return to finish the job. My building had someone moving out and would not let us use the freight elevator . Granted I did not know that their would be a need for it,so I had to reschedule the work .The building can be very difficult for contractors not on the buildings preferred list. Jay did an amazing job on the doors even with constraints that were out of his control .The job was much better than I expected,very pleased .I will be requesting Jay for the installation of a tub & shower door.I have been using numerous contractors for renovation of our badly outdated Condo .it has been one nightmare after another ..Mr Handyman is so easy to work with .Scheduling is so easy . She is really positive & professional ( I should know her name but it escapes me) I If I had only known what an amazing job they do . I would have used them more for projects I have already contracted.Mr Handyman does a professional job at very competitive pricing ."

"MD Pro Wash did an excellent job of power washing my deck. They were accommodating, prompt, neat and careful. Best of all, they paid special attention to a LIGHT wash on my CEDAR DECK with the proper equipment. Definitely would recommend!"

"Great company. Locally owned. Chris (the owner) worked with me to design exactly what I needed. I was not sure on some aspects and he made suggestions which worked well for me. He also made suggestions to save me money. He ensured the build met local codes. And was receptive to changes I asked for along the way. Highly recommended. If you want a summer build book him early as he gets very busy."

"Quality of product is far superior to anything I've seen at Lowe's or Home Depot. Unfortunately, that brings with it a far superior cost as well. That said, the sales person was fantastic and knowledgable and the install team was amazing!"

"Last year my husband and I had a new home built. Although we had a deck installed at build, there was no real outside space for entertaining. When Steve from Remodel Max showed up at our door it was perfect timing. We went over all of the options and discussed our wish list. We opted to create a screen room out of the deck and add a paver patio. It was early January when they started the projects so there were considerable delays caused by the weather. As the project moved forward there were some miscommunications regarding the design plans and concerns about the condition of the pavers; however, all it took was a phone call to the owner (Wayne) to get things back on track. Wayne went so far as to get the manufacturer involved to correct the issues. At that point Wayne oversaw all aspects of the project personally. He was always responsive to our calls and texts. He went above and beyond to make sure we were completely satisfied. He even provided some ideas that we decided to go with to make our patio enjoyable for years to come. Neighbors walking through tend to stop and comment on how nice our patio looks. We recommend Remodel Max to them, and will use them again ourselves for projects in the future."

"Tim was amazing during the project, start to finish. He was much better explaining the repairs and finished the project sooner than expected. Tim was great keeping me updated during the project and couldn't ask for better communications. I highly recommended the 95 Concrete and Home Improvement."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

Yes, professionals can install new frames, trim, and threshold adjustments for a complete finish.

Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.
