"They were on time. Very friendly and professional. There were problems with some of the materials in the kit and they had to fix some of them to put it together. They were here for over 8 hours, didn't even break for lunch. Even though they were here longer than expected they didn't change more than they had estimate.They did a great job and I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing work done"

"We hired Adam to convert our single-car garage into a bonus room (framing, drywall, electrical, flooring, moved a gas line, rerouted the hose spigot, and replaced the garage door with a slider). The quality is fantastic. I’d recommend him to anyone. What really stood out: Adam cared about the details. I had a rough vision, but when we hit decisions I hadn’t thought through, he’d flag it and, if I didn’t have a strong preference, steer me toward the right choice. He had a real vision for how it should look, not just doing the bare minimum or blindly following directions. The other thing was how clean he and any of his crew kept their workspace. This didn't actually matter since they were in a garage we weren't using, but every day it was immaculate, and all the material scraps were removed. Hire Adam because he delivers excellent workmanship, sweats the details, and helps you make smart decisions along the way. Plus, he runs a clean, organized job site."

"I recently hired Busby Home Services to hang three TVs and run the electrical wires in the walls, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Ryan, the owner and technician, did an excellent job. He was detail-oriented, quick, and highly professional throughout the entire process. Not only was the quality of his work great, but Ryan is also a genuinely nice guy—courteous and respectful. He took the time to ensure everything was perfectly aligned and securely mounted, leaving the space clean and organized afterward. I highly recommend Busby Home Services to anyone in need of TV mounting or electrical work. I will be hiring Ryan again for future projects."

"Dizzle Pro absolutely crushed our deck build. From the very beginning, his responsiveness was unmatched—quick replies, clear timelines, and constant communication throughout the entire process. You always knew exactly what was going on, which is rare these days. The craftsmanship speaks for itself. The attention to detail and overall quality is top-tier, and it’s obvious he takes a lot of pride in his work. Everything was done right the first time, and the finished product exceeded expectations. If you’re in Southern Maine and looking for someone reliable, professional, and truly the best at what they do, Dizzle Pro is the guy. Highly recommend."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.
