"My wife had the glorious idea of building a field stone patio and to install trex on our deck. Job was done and exceeded my expectations! Wonderful field stone laid, grout, and to the precise dimensions we specified. The trex was installed and was a color match to our specifications and no screw holes! I highly recommend!!!"

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding Work and Professional Service! I recently hired Cape Lookout Solutions to paint the interior of my home, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the very beginning, Matthew was professional, punctual, and easy to communicate with. He took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and offered helpful suggestions along the way. The quality of the work was exceptional. Every wall, trim, and corner was painted with precision and care. He paid great attention to detail and left everything spotless when the job was done. What really stood out to me was his dedication to getting the job done right. He was respectful of my home and completed the project on time and within budget. It’s clear he takes pride in his work, and it truly shows in the final result. I highly recommend Matthew to anyone looking for a reliable, skilled, and trustworthy painter. I’ll definitely be using him for future projects."

"He put together an entry table, 3 tall bookcases and positioned them for me, and two very heavy mirrors. He was always very courteous and came early for my mirrors as I was having unexpected company! He was wonderful to work with, and very reasonable. I’d hire him again."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

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.

If you remove a load-bearing wall to create an entrance to a carport or covered patio, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,500, with an average cost of $6,400. Factors such as the type of addition and if that area needs additional work will add to the price.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project.
