"LV Building Solutions did a fantastic job building a screened in porch on my deck. I couldn’t be happier! Benito provided options and was creative in making this project the best end result for me. He was easy to communicate with and was professional, timely and his price was fair. I would highly recommend him and would absolutely use him again!"

"Mr. Luis, did an amazing job with this project. He communicated effectively, and the door looks brand new. It took me about 90 days since the day I mistakenly broke the top part of the storm door screen in area to find someone but it was worth the wait. I recommend his services. He is also an electrician by trade and has done apartment and home maintenance for 5 years and can do carpentry as well. Out of everyone the site recommended he was the most polite and helpful person when communicating about my project. Again thank you Mr. Luis and we will be sharing our experience with you on other platforms as well."

"We could not be happier with our kitchen renovation! Of the three contractors we called, Matt was the one who embraced our vision rather than trying to convince us to do what would be “easier.” We had several big challenges: lack of natural light, inflexible floor plan, wasted space, and not nearly enough storage. Matt brought in a designer who helped bring our vision to life with the “made in USA” materials we wanted. I had several custom requests, and Matt took time to research the materials and installations so that we could have everything on my wish list. Were there unforeseen challenges? Of course, because every project has them. But Matt worked diligently to deliver the kitchen of my dreams in time for Thanksgiving and ON BUDGET. We were so happy with the outcome that we hired him again a few months later to renovate our primary bathroom. But that’s another story. :)"

"In 2016, my husband & I were remodeling a rental house with an unsafe concrete front porch. We were at a loss as to how to fix it. I stumbled across Nick on HomeAdvisor. We were so impressed with how he repaired our front porch; we called him back to install two exterior doors. Since then, we have hired Nick to work on three more of our properties. He has installed new interior/exterior doors, rebuilt multiple decks, a front porch, an interior staircase, installed interior trim on all windows/doors for a 2-story farmhouse, installed two sets of sliding glass doors, rebuilt two exterior walls with termite damage, and remodeled two full bathrooms. Nick has an amazing ability to bring my “vision” to life. I also greatly appreciate his honesty. If my idea is not feasible, he will tell me and offer an alternative or tell me he can’t do it. I would much rather someone tell me up front if they if they cannot or don’t feel comfortable tackling a project than tell me they can and not"

"Chad did an excellent job with the small repairs around our home. From start to finish, he was professional, punctual, and clearly knowledgeable about his work. He took the time to explain what needed to be done, completed everything efficiently, and made sure the job was done right the first time. We really appreciated his attention to detail and how respectful he was of our home throughout the process. It’s not always easy to find someone you can trust for quality work, but Chad definitely delivered. We’ll absolutely be calling him again for any future repairs or maintenance needs."

"They did a great job! My roof looks great! Reliable and kept me well informed about everything. They kept cost in mind and cleaned up nicely after themselves. Serge even came out late to tarp the roof until it could get repaired so that I didnâ t have any further damage to the house waiting for the roof. They were very nice to work with. Great people. I canâ t say enough good things about them!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

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. 

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

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.
