"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."

"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."

"Abe is one of the exceptionally few cabinet makers serving all of eastern NC who will build to the purchaser's specifications rather than simply installing some prefab unit from a factory. When my wife and I decided to replace our old bathroom vanity, we went to Lowes. The clerk there was very helpful but all he could offer us was prefab units. The examples in the store looked to me as though they were built from some composite stuff (maybe fiberboard??) rather than real lumber. Abe built our new vanity to the exact measurements that would fit into our bathroom and built it from poplar and birch. His carpentry was excellent and he did a good job of installing it to meet all of our picky little demands. If you want the real thing, go to Abe. He is now my go-to guy."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

It's possible to turn your carport into a living space, but there are additional factors to address over turning it into a garage. HVAC, plumbing, and electricity won't be optional, and you'll need finished flooring, drywall, trim work, and legal ceiling height, for starters. Also, keep in mind that living space conversions may require upgrading the foundation underneath, and the permits might be more expensive as well.

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.
