"Bill and Billy were very professional and efficient with the projects I had at my home. They built me and 2 car garage and deck off the back of my house. Pricing was very fair and the quality of their work was top notch. They're family owned and operated. I highly recommend them as a general contractor and builder for any home projects."

"Hired Joe to install electrical outlets in the middle of our living room floor for our new electric couches. As always, the three man crew it was professional, thorough, and just a great bunch of guys. The owner's, Joe and Lisa were here to oversee the work to make sure everything was done to Joe's high standards of quality. They also installed two new plugs on our porches. These guys do it all, and they do it well! Anytime I need anything done with my home for now on, Dixie Home Improvements is the first place I'm gonna call. Highly recommend!"

"Joe really communicated with all the contractors really well. Our patio turned out unbelievable, with the colors and border that Joe helped us pick to match the house. The guys that did the screen in were awesome too. Definitely we would recommend. We are very happy."

"EXCELLENT craftsmanship. Super high quality work. Very communicative - never ghosted us or left us in the dark. Five stars on all of that!! The only reason I don't give 5 stars overall is the timeline. We were originally quoted 8-10 weeks for our screened porch and it took a lot longer. There were things out of his control that contributed to that, so we understood. And again, he kept us in the loop. He also built us a new shed during that time and that slowed down the progress of the porch as well. We loved Calvin and would be happy to have him do more work for us."

"I cannot say enough great things about Chuck!  One of the nicest and most honest contractors I have ever worked with (and I have been in real estate for years, still have 4 rental properties in Charlotte).  Always prompt, friendly, and very helpful - genuinely cared about us and our project!  And I am NOT the easiest guy to please (just ask Chuck!!! ha).  Anyway, he helped us design the new kitchen/eating area (completely different than our original thoughts - and he made the kitchen twice as efficient and feel twice as big!), we went back and forth (conveniently, via email) all the layouts until we were happy.  He came over to our house (in Charlotte) with cabinet, tile and granite samples....and spent an hour with us as we tried out different combinations.   Once the work began, he sent us before, during, and after pictures as work progressed.  This was especially helpful since we did not live there (our vacation home in Shelby).  Even when we thought of things "after the fact" (can you add outlets to the island?  How about under counter lights?  A pull-out cabinet for pots and pans? etc) - he was absolutely accommodating, and for the items that cost extra, he simply charged us the extra labor and materials...did not gouge us as some guys try to do.....and some changes, he even said "no problem, no charge" and it was done!  So, here are the two KEY reasons I would recommend Chuck and his guys to ANYONE.  First, when my folks came down to visit, my father (who built multi-million dollar houses in Connecticut) got down on his hands and knees to check out the attention to detail - how the cabinets met the appliances, the shoe molding, etc etc and was VERY IMPRESSED.  (And if you think I am hard to please...!!!)  And the second reason is that when we had a few small glitches a few weeks after the work was done (there is always something)....his guys came out within 24 hours and fixed everything to our complete satisfaction.  I will say that he was toward the higher end of the quotes we received....but as they say, "you get what you pay for" and I would absolutely use Chuck again, and recommend him to anyone!!!

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

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.
