"We had the trim done throughout our downstairs, and I honestly can?t believe what a difference it made. They were so easy to work with professional, respectful of our home, and knocked everything out much quicker than I expected. They really listened to what I wanted, paid attention to the little details, and the finished product turned out even better than I had pictured. It completely transformed the space and made our downstairs feel so much more finished and put together. If you?re thinking about having trim work done, I can?t recommend them enough. We?re so happy with how everything turned out!"

"I had an excellent experience with Don and Midwest Pros. They installed a fence for me that looks absolutely amazing and their quote was the best I received. I have one more section of fence that I need to have installed and you can bet Midwest Pros will get my business for that project."

"David did a good job for me. He did exactly what we agreed on. Installed grasses and shrubs and put rock down. Also installed pavers. His company is professional and very easy to work with. I would highly recommend Four Seasons Landscaping & Hardscaping LLC"

"VP Roofing and Construction did an outstanding job. From the quick response to review what work was requested. Providing a very competitive bid, getting the work scheduled and completed. The crew they put on my project worked very hard and we're very particular in the construction. They installed it as if it was on their own home. VP's crew took out the old porch and cleaned up the area and installed the new porch in 2 days. The one they installed is incredibly solid. The job included working over an old concrete porch that proved difficult at times. The crews leader was very particular in the details. Several times he didnt like the way something was coming together so he would stop and take things apart to make sure they were installing the best fitting/looking and solid porch they could build. They didnt take shortcuts at all. I am extremely pleased with the looks/style and solidly built porch. It makes the front of my house much more appealing. I would recommend VP to anyone!"

Small jobs welcome

"Kent did a great job with our basement remodel.. He was quick with his very reasonable quote and did an excellent job. He came up with a solution for our bathroom/closet addition that we hadnâ t thought about before. The project took longer than either of us expected, but it was worth the wait. Most of that was due to it being an old basement addition and things just being more difficult to work around than anticipated. I would most definitely hire him again."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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, most services include necessary frame modifications for proper door fitting. Confirm with your provider.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

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.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.
