"Perfect, excellent quality paint job. Perfect line where accent wall meets connecting textured walls, timely - Ryan takes pride in his work. They will refinish my deck this year, they did it 5 years ago and I am amazed at how well their job/deck stain lasted. Highly recommend them for paint or decks"

"I am so glad I â foundâ Dick for my bathroom project. He contacted me the very same day I filled out a questionnaire on Home Advisor. I had received other quotes for my project, but I felt Dickâ s quote was very fair. The project was completed in the time frame he had given me looks great! They were respectful of my home, and cleaned up after each days work. He communicated well and I never had a problem contacting him with questions or even having to reschedule an appointment to discuss some details. He was very willing to â work with meâ . Dick is a very fair and honest contractor. I would not hesitate to hire him again. ð"

"It was a pleasure getting to work with Pedro and Sayagos Home Improvement. Pedro came out at the drop of a hat to help us with some siding that had blown off/ had some buckling in it. Pedro was very professional and got the job done in a timely fashion while also giving me some pointers on how to repair it myself if something ever occurs like it did again in the future. Pedro was very knowledgeable and professional and his pricing was very competitive for the work that was conducted. I would highly recommend Sayagos for anyone looking for work to be done/ installs for roofs, siding or gutters."

"The team of Jesse and Joe that did the install were great. The project took longer than expected but they stuck with it and replaced a side exterior door in my home. Door looks great and no longer sticks. They guys are rock stars!"

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.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

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.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.
