"A couple of upstairs water pipes froze and burst in Dec22 gushing water over an upstairs bedroom and downstairs ceilings atop a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, hallway, laundry room, and garage. Mark Crossland came out in Jan and gave an estimate for repair and also advised on what should be done to correctly repair the areas. His bid was spot on for total damage, and made his company available when I received the insurance money. He removed all the damaged ceiling and wall areas, and replaced sheetrock and taping with painting the areas to look like nothing had happened. When we discovered the cause of the cold air coming into the house was an unhooked bathroom exhaust fan pipe, he agreed to replace the exhaust fan/light and install a new one instead of just reattaching the old pipe. As work progressed he was very clear on what needed to be done and found some issues with other problems in the construction of the house and advised on improvements. This house was a quick build in 1998 so the original builder had cut corners in the construction. His and the team from Carpenter's Kids where extremely knowledgeable and had a great work ethic. They showed up on time every day and worked hard at getting the damage repaired. The extra items I had needed to be done for some time where agreed to without hesitation. The extra things included reflooring two upstairs rooms from carpet to laminate, replacing two toilets, replacing both bathrooms exhaust fans, and insulating the flooring between the lower and upper floors. I couldn't be happier with them as a company and individuals doing my repairs, and our house has gained even more value from their expert building knowledge."

"My husband and I feel lucky to have picked Harris Renovations for our remodeling projects. From the first meeting to the completed project, we were impressed with their professional and friendly manner. Casey and his brother worked to perfection in every aspect of the remodeling. Windy proved to also be an invaluable asset. She was always there to answer questions and guide us through the many choices. The completed result was even better than we had anticipated. We love our new kitchen and bathroom and highly recommend Harris Renovations."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

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.

Building a barndominium means converting a barn into a house. Barndominiums are becoming popular as spacious and stylish alternatives to typical housing structures. Old barns that become houses traditionally consist of wooden construction. However, newer structures, such as pole barns, often contain metal exteriors and roofs. Converting a metal outbuilding into a house presents an excellent opportunity to create a barndominium from metal.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.
