"I cannot say enough great things about my experience! From start to finish, Ashton was absolutely wonderful to work with. He was professional, knowledgeable, patient, and extremely skilled at what he does. He took the time to answer questions, provided excellent customer service, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. The quality of work on my Cedar Springs bar exceeded my expectations — I am truly in love with how my project turned out! His attention to detail and craftsmanship really show. I would without hesitation hire him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality work and outstanding service."

"Tim returned my call for an estimate within a day . When he came to my house we went over the scope of the job .After picking out materials and colors he explained the scope of job in detail to my wife and i he made several helpful suggestions. His crew showed up to install the new deck on time, took time to answer my questions and after completion (which came out awesome) they cleaned up my yard it was as if nobody worked there. I would definitely recommend Dorner decking to anyone looking for any kind of deck work"

"Ed repaired the staircase newel posts, balusters and railings taking great care to preserve the wood finishes. He was able identify the carpentry errors and safety issues in the work left undone by the previous contractor. Without disparaging the previous contractor, he professionally pointed out what needed to be done and provided detailed steps to complete the project with a timeline for completion. All work was completed as described. We are very impressed with Ed?s carpentry work, attention to safety details and the cost of the project which was done in 2 days. We definitely recommend him if you looking for a personable professional!"

"My pro was skilled and had great attention to detail. Roger always let me know when he was on the way. He did extra work and was courteous. It could have been completed more timely, but honestly, the plaster took time to dry between coats. He painted our whole ceiling after repairing it. He also repaired cat scratches and chipped plaster. by our backdoor & repainted that whole wall. We have an old house and it needs work. He was very good."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

Installing an ornamental or decorative porch column takes around three to five hours. Structural columns take longer because your pro has to install a jack to hold up the roof while switching the column out. If there's any structural damage, it can add several days to the timeline to repair the damage.
