"I started a DIY project replacing the tread-boards on the front exterior stairway to my house. Once started, I found the stringers (boards that support the treads) were split and pulling away from the house. Now the project was over my head, and I found Mark and IHS Construction through Angi. Mark arrived the following business day to provide an estimate and was able to squeeze my project in the same week. He and his team worked a long day to completely retrofit the staircase with new stringers, treads, and kick-boards while saving the original handrails and balusters. I couldn't be happier with his professionalism, craftmanship, and responsiveness. Five stars!!!"

"My husband is no longer able to do the maintenance on our house, or advise me. There was rotting trim wood, that needed to be replaced, at the roofline of our house. I contacted Angie on a Sunday nite. The next day owner Roland called me, we met the next day. He was able to fit in the needed repairs 1 day later and take a piece of wood to the paint store to match the color. The result looks perfect!!"

"Danny was friendly, professional, courteous about rescheduling and did a fantastic job hanging blinds on 24 windows in my new home. He also cleaned up all of the boxes, which was an added bonus! I would hire Danny for any house project needs."

"Mr. Robbins was the only one of the 3 builders I contacted that even cared enough OR had the courtesy to respond to me. I was lucky he did. His work is excellent and we couldnâ t be more pleased with the finished product. No need to look any further. We have found our builder/carpenter. I highly recommend."

Carpentry FAQs, 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.

Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.
