"The work done was excellent. This tabletop is over 75 years old and was part of a family piece of furniture. When it was dropped and broke, it was a great personal loss. Rodney did a wonderful job of putting it back together. I would definitely recommend him again."

"Allen is very reliable, responsible and skilled, completing work from carpentry to painting, in my home. He did an amazing job on a multitude of projects - He installed two wood handrails, hand cut pickets, and put in a wood post. In addition to this, he installed a garage hook, stain painted my outdoor deck, resealed the silicone around the glass of the shower, sealed my garage floor, fixed baseboards and shoe molding, installed bathroom hooks, and replaced the chipped tile in my shower. I highly recommend his services and would definitely hire him again. Lastly, Tabatha does a great job of scheduling."

"Building our farm, which included a barn and new home, with Carl and Ralph was one of the best experiences of our lives! Every trades person performed their work with great skill, professionalism, and efficiency. We've never seen such a clean jobsite throughout the project. Carl and Ralph respond immediately to phone calls, texts, and emails. They met every request and often went above and beyond. We do not have one complaint about this experience. This farm is superbly built with high quality craftsmanship. We highly recommend Triangle Classic Homes, and wish we had another house to build with them!!!"

"Service from start to finish was excellent. The office manager and owner were always responsive, and provided a ball-park estimate after I emailed photos of the damage. Before the technician came out, the office manage provided a detailed overview, including the technician's name, what he would be driving, how he would be dressed, and when he would arrive. The technician, after inspecting the damage, provided me with several options for repairs (trying to match the shingles on this 13-year-old building would have been difficult, and he didn't recommend that). He performed the repairs more quickly than anticipated and at less than half the cost of the ball-park figure; as he told the office manager afterwards, the damage wasn't as bad as my photos had shown.
We've been looking for a handyman service for years, and are delighted to find one which we'll return to again and again.

Customers say: Super punctual

"Used the painting services of this vendor to finish caulking and painting new overhangs and pennice roofs on our horse barn. They also stained several hundred feet of existing 3-board wood horse fencing and painted the metal fencing on our arena. These guys were awesome! Not only were they friendly and professional, but they did a great job on everything! They pressure washed all the wood and metal fencing ensuring all prep work was done correctly before starting to paint/stain. The end result was a job done well. I will definitely call these guys back for future work!!!"

"Odyssey Contracting did extensive work on my deck to replace all deck posts and put them on new foundations. Part of the deck is open and part of it is a screened porch so I was apprehensive about the screened porch section with all that weight. Odyssey Contracting did a thorough inspection and came up with a detailed explanation of what needed to be done and why. I signed the contract with confidence. They showed up quickly and did a careful and thorough job. Everyone on the team was friendly, courteous, and professional. I am totally pleased with the whole process and with the results. I recommend them highly. In fact, Iâ ve already recommended them to three friends."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.

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. 

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.

You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.

Metal stud framing parts include the studs themselves, upper and lower tracks that act as top and bottom wall plates, various angle fasteners and clips, screws for fastening pieces togeher, metal straps, c-channel supports, and thicker steel supporting structures. Roof framing metal components include pre-fabricated trusses, heavy-gauge stud pieces, and various plates and fasteners.
