"Trevor has been an amazing contractor who has helped us through the process of installing a large interior door for an office. He has helped ensure the space was properly prepared for installation of the door. The other contractors who have assisted Trevor have also exceeded my expectations. They have been extremely detail oriented and have done everything to ensure the best outcome. I would definitely work with Trevor for any future projects."

"This multi task job needed a well qualified contractor who had a variety of skills from carpentry electricity, plumbing to tile setting to name a few. John Kent was definitely the right skilled person for this multiphase bathroom renovation project. He is knowledgeable, professional, conscientious and very well organized in performing each phase of this complete renovation. Besides planning well, he takes a lot of pride in his workmanship . He works very meticulous and is a craftsman in every project he undertakes. He undoubtedly wants his customers to be pleased with the work he does. John along with his female helper work very hard and well together. They are truly nice, pleasant, comfortable individuals to work with. They communicate well and keep the customer update about each phase. As a result we now have a new updated bathroom that we will enjoy for many years. Furthermore, we would do this whole project again especially knowing that Handy Home Helpers would be doing the job. They are the best very contractors available. Believe me you can't go wrong hiring them . We would never hesitate to hire them again or recommend them to our friends. Handy Home Helpers are the very best and you will be completely satisfied."

"I'll start by saying I chose Matt because of the reviews here on Angie's List and the photographs of his work on his web site. Matt doesn't come cheap, and we did have significantly lower bids for this job. We felt that these built-ins were going into our great room and needed to look good, like a piece of furniture. We felt confident that Matt could deliver the quality craftsmanship we wanted for this project, and decided the extra cost was justified. Matt suggested a bench under each window with storage and doors below and a Cherry top (seat) on the benches. We decided on a scribed fit against the fireplace, which meant Matt would have to cut the bookshelves to mate with the rock fireplace. Matt shared his plan to build the bookshelves in his shop, described the materials being used and the process he would use to paint the exposed surfaces, gave us a rough date for completion and assured us we would be happy with the result. On installation day, he showed up with his partner Josh and each took a side of the fireplace to work on. They spent the entire day installing our built-ins, and even had to finish up a few details on the following day. My wife and I couldn't be happier with the result. The built-ins look great, and have that quality furniture look we hoped for. The sprayed on lacquer finish is awesome and durable. What an improvement in the room!"

"The electricians quickly divided work so there wasn't any down time. The workers were respectful and listened as I explained my list of jobs to do. While they were here I remembered additional projects which they fixed. I am selling my house and will leave the new owners information about this company and will use then in my next home when needed.

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

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.

Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.
