"My 4th time w/Fixit. Electrical: 3 light switches, 1 outlet, 2 light tubes Plumbing: Flappers on both toilets, replaced whole kitchen faucet assembly Carpentry/locks: Replaced bent plate/dead-bolt assembly Outside: Removed & hauled away > 100' cedar privacy fence. All done in 1 day, by 1 personable and able guy. VERY reasonable pricing, and prompt. I'd recommend them to anyone; they can do it all. If it was a task they couldn't do, they'd let you know."

"I really liked JD. Thought the price was high for what I had done. I also asked for a quote to hang drywall and he said it was high due to two guys and two days work in case it took that long but he said cost of materials was $200 but the whole price was $3,300! The demo is already done so I don t know why labor would be so much! This is why I don t know if I would recommend them."

"I highly recommend contracting with Guy Green. He converted a 1952 pantry room under the basement stairs to an attractive half bathroom. Guy is knowledgeable from experience, reliable, considerate and easy to work with. He pays attention to detail. Due to the structure of our house, some plans needed revision. We always went with his recommendations. Itâ s easy to see he takes pride in his work. I couldnâ t be happier."

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.

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.

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.

Installing an ornamental or decorative porch column takes around three to five hours. Structural columns take longer because your pro has to install a jack to hold up the roof while switching the column out. If there's any structural damage, it can add several days to the timeline to repair the damage.

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.
