"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."

"Highly recommend. I had several repairs needed around my house. Gault met with me within one day, carefully reviewed all of my items, and provided thoughtful perspectives. I expressed that one repair was particularly urgent and Gault worked with me to have the work performed the very next day. The work was done with very high quality and professionalism. I am very satisfied and look forward to potential future engagements. The urgent work we had done was replacing a load bearing 6x6 leg on my screened-in porch."

"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."

"This was my first round at a bathroom remodel. It all went perfectly! Wise Grove Builders did an excellent job. Super talented workmen. Builder was professional. Everyone was respectful, friendly, and neat. They did a great job. They will be the only call I make when I get ready to do my kitchen. They even sent a team of ladies to clean everything to a sparkle when the project was finished. What a treat!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

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. 

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

You can enclose an open carport, however, there are several things to consider before opting to do so. You'll want to check local building codes and permit requirements before proceeding to make sure it’s legal. While you can sometimes stick-frame a carport enclosure, pre-fab kits are also available. Remember that you'll likely need to meet concrete slab regulations and provide lighting inside the structure. Both of which could substantially drive up costs.
