"Hire this man already. I have had so many nightmare stories dealing with other so called handymen but Allen really knows his stuff. He did the jobs as requested didn't waste time was very friendly, efficient, and tidy. I read a lot of the reviews on here prior to hiring him and I will say I read a few saying something about him being pricey so that did make me nervous. I will say the people writing that probably haven't had quality work done very recently because his prices are very fair for the work he does. I"

"We are blessed to have found John! The job he did for us is second to no one I've ever hired. He painted our entire two floor house, including trims and closets with absolute precision and professional beyond any work I've seen. I have owned two other homes over the years and have hired others for the same work. John surpasses any other painter we have hired. He took his time and always professional and polite. The cost of this large job was more than reasonable. We appreciate you John and thanks for EVERYTHING ?"

"We used Rivera Construction to reconstruct our deck, and we couldn’t be happier! Andrew and Dan are real pros, especially at a time when finding responsive and reliable help is so hard to find. Rivera provided us with detailed estimates, and they were very upfront and communicative as issues came up. They provided a realistic and true to schedule timeline and knew how to work with the town for permits and inspections. We will definitely use them again for our home renovation needs!"

"About five years ago, I had Chris and his team install a French door and vinyl tile in my kitchen and dining room. I was very impressed with the professionalism and skill of the team... always on time and exceptional job. Recently, I asked Chris to give me an estimate on a small repair job. Again , he was extremely helpful. I recommended Leon to my sister and my nephew and they were very satisfied with his work."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

Traditionally, bungalows are single-story homes, although having a half or partial story on top of the first floor is common. While adding a second story to a bungalow is certainly possible, the home would no longer be considered a bungalow by the strictest definition.

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.
