"They did a really good job and they stand behind their work. The prices are competitive and they take pride in their work. I had a really old front door that was not insulated and they put in a new one with plenty of insulation. They also put in a new storm door and a garage side door that meant making a new doorway that's sealed properly. They answered all my questions and were respectful of the property"

"I did not know there was still a company around like J.Thomas Construction in Grand Blanc. I was repairing a few steps on my deck when I ran into a little problem. I went to 3 lumber yards with the old wood to have them cut the 2 pieces that were needed for each step. 1 piece was not as wide as the other, but no one would rip to the size I had to have. So I called 1 of those companies that recommend trade people. I called 1 on thelist and was embarrassed to ask them if they did small jobs. I sent Jason, the owner, a picture of my job. I actually thought he was going to laugh at me and tell me he couldnâ t help me.. He told me he was finishing a job but would stop on his way home and take a look. The job he was finishing was many many thousands of dollars he told me when he got to my house and showed me the picture of the job and a few others his company had done. They were amazing!! I showed him my project of 3 little step pieces of wood. He went to his vehicle, got his saw walked around to the back of my condo and ripped the wood. It took him 5 minutes. Jason was friendly, smiling and very professional in manner and ability. I wonâ t tell you how much he asked for, for payment because it would cause a rush on his already full schedule. If you are looking for a new deck or a repair on your current deck, I guarantee you, you will not be disappointed. I promise you, I donâ t know Jason, never met him before 2;30pm today, but if I ever need deck work again, I will call him!!! David, Grand Blanc"

"Lucas was able to install a bathroom fan for us, install a vanity, paint our basement ceilings, install lights in our basement, and complete a closet install in our upstairs bedroom. This work was completed within a timely manner and Lucas was responsive and communicative throughout the entire process. He was very thorough in his work as well."

I've been honing my craft in the trades since I was old enough to swing a hammer... I always do my best to think outside of the box to problem solve issues and I like to think I'm pretty good at it too.\nI could do just about anything you would need a handyman to do... I've been framing houses and building stages for concerts since about 2015... For that reason my skills are a little too well rounded to specifically list off each and every one.

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.

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.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.
