"We were extremely happy having Wilber's Painting to do the work. The staffs are courteous, the carpenters and painters are very professional and take the time to make sure everything is done correctly and to the highest level. For the paint job it is just superb. They finished it much faster than I expected but still looks fantastic, and definitely way much better than I do it myself. Also I am glad they used primers and paints that don't have a strong smell as we were living in the house while the work was being performed. Now we are considering to have the exterior to be painted as well, and for sure we will hire Wilber's Painting."

"Rich and his crew were friendly and professional. They estimated the time and cost and stuck to both. They explained to us what process steps they would have to go through to do the job and then did the work according to our agreement. Both the deck and the interior areas they painted now look better than they have in years. The deck especially took a lot of work as it was in pretty bad shape before their work on it."

"D's Fencing did an amazing job installing a split rail fence with metal mesh to make a large dog run on our property. The work was beautifully done and they were meticulous. The workmen were lovely and worked very hard. The owner was amazing and called us from his vacation to explain the short delay in obtaining the metal mesh. We're new to the area and relied on Home Advisor and reviews to locate a professional fencing company and we hit the jackpot with D's!"

"It went really really good. I have an old house. It was built in the 1700's. Santo is a master carpenter and did a great job. The kitchen, the cabinets, sheetrock, spackling, woodwork, moulding, maple floors,were all done professionally and came out great. He worked very patiently with me and my wife. I would use him again and recommend his service. I already plan on using him on my next project, just saving money."

"When first meeting them, I was very impressed. I had to have work done on my shed. New roof, frame and a ramp. They never criticized that it was a small job. They gave me a great price and came to do the job as promised two days after meeting them. They (Tony, Eric and Jimmy) are perfectionists and came on time. They cleaned up so good, you wouldn t even have known there was work done. HIGHLY RECOMMEND them. I actually took extra business cards to recommend them to my neighbors and friends. They are my contractors for life!!"

"Our carpenter was prompt, courteous and very neat. He did exactly what he said he would and his estimate was almost spot on. The work took place over a couple of days and scheduling was very easy even during their busy time"

"Had an old deck in my backyard which was several decades old and while it still looked good had clearly become dangerous due to extensive rotting of most of the deck posts as well as some steps. Bryan came over and discussed all the options to deal with the issues I identified and sent a team of three workers over a couple of weeks later to complete the renovation. Replaced all the rotted decking with new cedar but during their work also discovered other issues with the deck structure I had not noticed. This caused the crew to have to put in an extra day of work and also added somewhat to the project's total cost. Was disappointed about the overage in the project cost but Bryan and the crew showed me where other parts of the decking clearly were deteriorated and needed to be replaced to insure both the stability and safety of the project. All in all am completed happy with the way everything worked out and the quality of the workmanship and carpentry skills evident in the finished project."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

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.

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.
