"Everything about this company is top notch. They started the work several weeks ahead of schedule and finished in less time than expected. They treated the project like it was their own and offered suggestions to keep the cost down. Since I donâ t live in the area they kept me updated on the progress with pictures and kept in constant contact. Never had to wait for a return call. Mike is the best. On the day he came by to look at what needed to be done and provide an estimate, he saw that some of our boards on our back deck steps were loose. His comment was, â I donâ t want to anyone to get hurt so let me just fix that now.â And he did. And that had nothing to so with our initial project. He is the sweetest man and very trustworthy. I highly recommend Happy House Home Improvement for any project you may have. One of the comments he said to me on his initial visit is that he wants to be the company that we go to for any work that needs to be done. Well thatâ s a given. They did a beautiful job and I will certainly use them on future projects. Well done Mike and thank you."

"Great honest contractors. They did my bathrooms, hot water heater, unclogged my house drain and they did a French drain so my basement is not wet anymore. I already hired them to do my whole roof in the spring. I will hire them anytime."

"Fantastic and professional. We have a small house and lost some of our gutters to a snow storm, so we decided to renovate the rest of our gutter system while repairing the damaged sections. Working with HGE was a refreshingly positive experience. All of their team members were courteous, straightforward, and responsive. The work took two days with a weather interruption in between, but communication was prompt which let us accommodate the weather. All in all, great company. I just wish they did fencing so I could hire them again."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, using certified lumber and engineered wood products for reduced environmental impact.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

Professionals charge between $60 and $95 per hour to install ornamental porch columns. The amount of time they need varies based on the condition of the porch, whether they need to remove old columns, and if there is any damage to your porch's structure. This cost can increase if more issues come up during the installation process.

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.
