"Recently had Quality Carpentry and Remodeling LLC build/replace the stairs on my deck, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From the very beginning, Tom was professional, communicative, and provided a clear, fair quote. He showed up exactly when he said he would and completed the project on time. The craftsmanship is outstanding—the stairs are incredibly sturdy, perfectly level, and look fantastic. He even made sure to clean up the work area completely before leaving. I highly recommend Quality Carpentry and Remodeling LLC to anyone needing quality deck work!"
"Homexpert Contractor, Mauricio Flavio, was great. He replaced a piece of aluminum facia that was blown off by a windstorm. But more importantly, he correctly diagnosed a problem concerning the baseboard on my siding pulling away from the foundation that other contractors had missed. He made the repair and there is no indication a problem ever existed. I am very pleased with his work and would definitely use him again."
"Excellent! Great job restoring wood deck floors, 3 sets of stairs, built in benches and railings. Mark did a great job. His assistant Phyllis was awesome. Joanna is friendly and quote was fair and reasonable. Completed quickly and removed all old wood. Will definitely call for future projects."
"Words cannot express how happy I am that I found Matt to help me paint my new home! Not only did he finish the job of painting three rooms ceilings, trim, and walls in less than two days, he quoted me an extremely fair price and he did an amazing job. Matt took pride in his work, wanted to make sure everything was perfect, and that I was one hundred percent satisfied with the job. I have now found my handy man for life! If you need any work done in your home (because he does a lot more than paint) I highly recommend him. Thank you so much Matt for everything!"
"Job was completed in 1 day and could not be more pleased. They had me the customer in mind and were very reasonable with quote. They went beyond my expectations. The crew was very able and professional. I would recommend custom exteriors for any carpentry work needed. Very pleased."
"Mike did a great job. He did a very thorough inspection and repaired the parts of the deck that were weak. His crew only took two days to finish the job."
"Bradan and his team did an excellent job. He kept me updated throughout the whole project. He was very punctual and made sure that our schedules lined up. Finally, he left the outside where he was working better than what he found it. He did a concrete patio and replaced a couple sections on another patio."
No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.
Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.
Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry.
The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.
If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.
