"Mike did a great job for us on both projects; we have recommended him to friends and neighbors, and those that have used him are all happy with the quality and delivery on the promise. I highly recommend Mike Nichol."
"I hired Andrew and his crew to redo my Kitchen & Flooring in my condo, downtown Charlevoix. Not only did he completed the work ahead of schedule, he communicated promptly with me throughout the entire process. From design to execution; the quality of work was beyond my expectations. I would strongly recommend his services to anyone looking for a high quality remodel."
"I never contacted the provider or used this service in anyway. I have to write this review so that the request to write this review stops popping up. The rating is bogus as it is required to be able to submit. "
"Darryl is a professional and skilled in his craft. He has a keen eye for detail. I was impressed with his extensive knowledge. I am very happy with his work and would hire him again in a heartbeat."
"I was very pleased with the speed at which the system was installed. Henry was amazing to work with. I appreciated the patience that he showed me when answering all my questions so that I fully understood what we were getting and how it operated. His team was very professional, quick, and neat. I appreciate the fact that they cleaned up after themselves. You can tell Henry and his team take pride in their work."
"Once I sent her all the measurements, it took her a little while to get the options back to me. Overall, they're good designs. However, they're very simplistic and give general ideas for space planning. I was hoping to have a better idea for sizes of furniture for the space and some variations on staging. Jill was very responsive when I did have a question. I'm not sure how helpful it is to have a virtual design done. If we lived in similar cities, I'd probably use her again for help with additional designs. "
Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
Yes, using certified lumber and engineered wood products for reduced environmental impact.
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.
Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them.
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.
In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.
