"The city inspected the house before I could sell it. They gave me a laundry list of things to fix, all over the place some major. I gave the list to Tom, he gave me a quote for time materials that I felt was very reasonable. I authorize him to go ahead and fix everything on the list. He and his crew did an excellent job and I’m extremely pleased."

"I had previous foundation work done in my basement in the laundry room and bar area. Reconstruction in the entire area was done by The Fix it Friends this included; electrical, plumbing, drywall, ceiling, flooring, dryer vent, painting etc. They also had to reconfigure the bar area. They took the extra effort to make sure the ceiling that had to be replaced in the bar area matched the existing area. Work was completed as scheduled and they made sure the area was clean when they left. My experience was great and will not hesitate to contact them for any additional work that needs to be done. They are professional and friendly I highly recommend them."

"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!"

"Mike and Johnny did a great job! They gave a good quote and said they could start the following week. They did the job faster than quoted and were very meticulous with the details. They were even on their hands and knee wiping dust off our floors before they left each day. Already looking at hiring for another project we are working on!"

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

Framing a basement takes three to five days, on average, when completed by a professional, though it may take longer for a larger space. Keep in mind this doesn’t include the time to complete the design, obtain permits, and install the drywall on the framing. On average, fully finishing a basement takes an average of 45 days.

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.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.
