"I found these folks here on HomeAdvisor! Extensive Flooring Project with an "Out of this World" Result!! Our home had severe water damage due to a water heater that had leaked for a long period of time before it finally let go. Needless to say, there was no way to know for sure just how bad it was until the demolition work began. We soon found out that most of the underlayment and subfloor would have to be removed and other repairs made before we would ever see our new flooring in place. Casey and Wendy did a fantastic job helping us along to the start. They were very responsive to our requests for quotes and even made an additional trip out when we uncovered important information. Once the renovation began, Casey and Craig worked their tails off to make everything right. With the joists exposed we were able to see the many areas that needed to be addressed before any flooring went down. There was plumbing that had leaks, joists in one area that had to be replaced, drain pipes that were broken, HVAC ducts that were missing insulation and rusting... and mold. A project that should have taken 10 days, quickly turned into a month-long ordeal. That is not a complaint. What I'm saying is that they did everything that was necessary and more to ensure that all of the issues that arose were resolved properly. I never once heard talk of any short cuts, rather, the discussions were about how to do something the right way. Obviously, there were changes from the original quote and these were all handled in written estimates. Billing was done at agreed upon intervals with no surprises. There were times when the costs were adjusted down due to changes as well. They are very open and fair in how they deal with clients. The end result is not just gorgeous floors, which they are, but we know that everything done to get there was done right and that there are no outstanding issues that could come back to haunt us (or Casey). Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to Harris Renovations, LLC for their outstanding effort and beautiful result on our new floors! Thanks Casey, Wendy, and Craig!!"

"Found Sentri on Angi. Jeanette and Violet were very pleasant and efficient in getting a contractor to me in the time frame needed. The contractor was excellent and the roof looks great! I would definitely work with them again if I had additional projects."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.
