At Barbers Home Improvements LLC, we specialize in interior and exterior painting and trim work to refresh and enhance your home. My name is Duane, and I am the owner of the business. My father-in-law, with 43 years of painting experience, and I previously ran a painting business in Florida. After moving to Missouri with my family, I decided to start my own business here. We are a family of six with small children, and we are passionate about growing our business together. I am committed to delivering high-quality work and ensuring complete customer satisfaction. I work hard to ensure the job is done right and to your satisfaction. "And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men." – Colossians 3:23 (KJV) If you're looking for reliable, quality help with your next project, I would be honored to assist you.

"Duane made our bath tub look brand new. We hired him to reglaze the tub, but after using stripper, and lots of scraping and elbow grease to remove the chipping bathtub paint, it just sparkled! He suggested that we didn?t need to reglaze; how many repair men would be honest enough to talk their customer into shortening the job for less money? He was prompt, hard working, and cleaned up the area. We were so impressed with Duane that we plan to hire him to paint our house."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

You can use a nail to find ceiling joists, but it’s not as reliable as a stud finder, and you’ll end up with lots of small holes in your ceiling. If the nail hits a joist, you'll feel increased resistance. Mark the spot with a pencil. Repeat this process regularly along the ceiling, 16 or 24 inches apart, until you've mapped out the joist locations.

Yes, professionals can install new frames, trim, and threshold adjustments for a complete finish.

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.
