"We were having our wood floors refinished. The flooring company recommended The Fixit Friends to move appliances, furniture, etc. When we made our appointed we spoke with Monique who was exceptionally friendly and professional. Chris and Patrick came a long way (Auburn Hills) to work with us. Both guys were professional and friendly. All of our work was completed in an hour. We had another appointment for Chris and Patrick to return and put things back together. They arrived at the appointed time and again the work was completed in little over and hour. We highly recommend The Fixit Friends!"

"Garrett, Nadia, and Roland delivered a stress free deck building experience. Garrett was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. He guided us through color and design choices, kept the project on track, and made sure we were happy every step of the way. Nadia has clear communication with us and Roland ensured we were receiving top-notch craftsmanship, every detail was handled with care. Garrett and Roland were in contact with us frequently including in stopping by ensured the job ran smoothly and checked in with us at the end to make sure we were happy with the result. The result is a beautiful, sturdy deck we’ll enjoy for years. We couldn’t be happier with our deck. We’ve gotten so many compliments already. There’s no better gathering place, we have built memories that will last a lifetime with friends and family on our new deck!"

"Tom and his crew rebuilt our composite deck in the June-July 2018 time frame. We could not be happier with the job. The Built To Last crew was very professional and definitely went the extra mile to ensure that the rebuilt deck was better than new. Everything is very secure and tight. During the construction, Tom made several suggestions to keep the price down while not compromising quality and our satisfaction. Tom provided price transparencies for all materials. Greatly appreciated! We would definitely use Tom and his crew again. Highly recommend Built To Last Construction. Just as a note... this was a very large deck with a great deal of work."

"I was a victim of a hit and run on my mailbox in the middle of winter. The mailbox and wooden post were beyond repair. After some quick Googling, I found Brandon and he was out the next day to get to work on replacing everything. He even offered to pick up the new mailbox I ordered locally. With the ground being so cold, I was worried he wouldn’t be able to remove everything, but he was so innovative and was able to pull the old post and cement out of the frozen soil. He cut the new post to match the old one and he even found some metal house numbers for the post. He did such a wonderful job. I am so grateful. I will definitely be hiring him again for my other home projects. Thank you so much, Brandon!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

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.
