"After many bad experiences with painters, I found this company on Angie's list and he was well worth the wait!  I contacted him in the Spring of 2013 and already he gave me a time frame of July/August, so plan early.  The owner, Ryan was on site every day and completes one job before another is started.  They worked at least a week scrapping, power washing and caulking.  The paint turned out beautiful and I was so happy.

We would highly recommend Elliot to others.  The best reasons to use him are his broad range of competencies and trust. He is truly capable of doing most everything involved with total renovations, including new kitchen, hardwood floors, painting, detail carpentry, basic plumbing, electrical, etc. The trust factor was invaluable to us as we don't live in East Lansing and were completely depending on him to do what we had agree to for each project, and there were several.

"“Keith was extraordinary!! He helped me setup all my furniture in a days work! He even gladly assembled extra furniture I had not previously discussed with him about at a reasonable upcharge. He went above and beyond to ensure my satisfaction with each item. I am incredibly blessed and impressed by his punctuality, professionalism, open communication, fair price, and friendliness. If you’re considering other handymen, truly look no further!!! (Not all furniture he assembled is pictured: high coffee table with two bench chairs, TV stand, full sized bed frame, vanity desk with bench and mirror, sectional couch, study desk, desk chair) he even came a year later and reassembled some of the items I had to dissassemble for a move. **all in a days work!**”"

"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"

"Construction not started within 4 to 6 weeks as contracted for. Whenever I called I was told they were very busy. If that busy, the company should not have offered the contract with the start as stated. I would have contacted another company. Contract signed June 3, 2017. Construction started August 17, 2017. The carpenters sent were courteous and professional. I am pleased with their work, but think management needs improvement."

"Found Sentri on Angi. Jeanette and Violet were very pleasant and efficient in getting a contractor to me in the time frame needed. The contractor was excellent and the roof looks great! I would definitely work with them again if I had additional projects."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

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 house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.

You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.
