"I contacted Wolverine Custom Painting in the spring to discuss my project. Doug came to my home and we walked through all of the tasks that needed to be done including pressure washing, making repairs, and painting/staining. He was very thorough and took the time to help me understand that there was more needed than I originally expected, especially due to how long it had been since the last painting/staining. I received his quote in a timely fashion and he was quick to answer the questions that I had. I understood when I signed the contract that I would need to wait until summer for the job to be completed. The job was started the end of July and took about a week and a half to complete. Doug and all of the workers were professional, friendly, and informative throughout the project. Because this company could provide a wide range of services, it made it easy for me. I was especially impressed by the work done to prepare the buildings for the staining/painting. Everyone was careful to work around the landscaping and kept the area clean each day. The quality of the final product is excellent - my home looks better than it ever has before. The cost was high but well worth the final results."

"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!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

A-frame homes are on the smaller side. While there’s no set square footage amount it has to be, it will usually come in around 1,000 square feet or smaller.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.
