"You mean to tell me awesome and excellent are not options? Because that s what I experienced. I called them last minute to have two doors replaced including a door frame. Rene was as patient as a saint! She was so kind and always there to answer any and EVERY question I had. They were able to fit me in their schedule so quickly. Robert is a hard-working man! He does his job and he does it WELL! I think he is darned near a perfectionist because if it isn't t right, he will make it right!!! He s so knowledgeably in what he does. This company does not price gouge. They are very reasonable and professional! I will DEFINITELY be contacting RnR again for future home projects. They met and exceeded all of my expectations."

"Workhorse sent a crew of 4 to take down a medium sized, multi-trunk tree. They were finished in an hour and cleaned up afterwards. I was very pleased and recommend them highly. They are a handyman service so I'll be in contact with them about some future projects I have."

"Matthew and his painting assistant did a phenomenal job painting my bedroom and bathroom. They were very thorough and meticulous, with great attention to detail. They were able to finish a day earlier than originally estimated, and the complete job was very reasonably priced. I thank them for being willing to take on a job that, I'm sure, was not an easy task. I highly recommend Matthew and his company."

"Pleasant to deal with: From the moment they stopped by to check out the project. Started measuring on the spot. I received an estimate within days. Once a date was scheduled, they promptly arrived. They removed cedar shake shingles, installed the vinyl, removed all debris--all in one day. I am very pleased with their work. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Elite Contracting."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

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. 

Installing an ornamental or decorative porch column takes around three to five hours. Structural columns take longer because your pro has to install a jack to hold up the roof while switching the column out. If there's any structural damage, it can add several days to the timeline to repair the damage.

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. 

Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.
