"The new deck is perfect. They showed up on time each day and worked the entire time they were here. They even noticed a few issues from the previous contractor and brought them to my attention. Clarke Builders pays close attention to what theyâ re doing. Great, quick work. I couldnâ t be happier. I would hire again, anytime."

"The crew with Coastline Construction was great! Amazing communication, excellent work ethic and overall just a great experience. Jon was able to strip my roof and lay new shingles in 2 days. Absolutely 0 mess from the demo of the old shingles. To top it all off the guys went out of their way to remove my large window AC for the season. I would recommend Coastline Construction for any job big or small!"

"J & M Exteriors provided us with professional and efficient service. They were respectful of our specific requirements for the work being done. They were also respectful of our time and communicated well about dates and timelines. The repairs to our fence look better than the original installation. J & M put in extra effort and details so that our fence is extra sturdy and we expect that it will survive any massive windstoms in the future. A great experience with masters of fence installation. We plan to use them again for future projects."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.
