"The job went well, Wilson from Build N Bolt Construction was professional, he brought samples of different crown molding and he explained in detail about the installation of the molding. On day of the job he and his worker arrived on time with all material need. They were neat, clean and they clean up after themselves. I was very please with the work and I would use them again"

"I am happy to recommend ReupholsteryNYC. I dealt with Eli and it was a pleasure. I sent him pictures of my chair and he quoted me a fair price. I supplied my own fabric and arranged with him to have the chair and fabric picked up from my apt. If you need a COI, he will provide that, too. Eli said the chair would be ready for delivery in three weeks and it was! I am very pleased with the work that ReupholsteryNYC did. They were very professional with sending me the invoice. I am now looking for fabric for reupholstering 10 dining room chairs and as soon as I have it I will be sending my chairs to Eli at ReupholsteryNYC to continue their good work. Thank you Eli and staff!"

"Mack Rubio and his team are awesome. My front porch was beginning to sag on one corner and it was causing my vinyl siding to bow out. My home also needed to be pressure washed. Mack is very knowledgeable and he got his level out and showed me that the left side of my porch was two inches lower than the right side. I knew my left column was rotting but I was not sure about the wooden supports I could not see beneath the decking boards. Mack assessed the situation and advised pouring concrete footers and replacing only the columns and supports that needed to be replaced on the porch. His quote was very reasonable and I didn't hesitate to give Handymack Services the work. Mack and his team were on time, got right to work, and I was truly amazed at all that got accomplished while I was at work. When I got home, Mack took the time to explain what remained to be done and his schedule for finishing the project. Mack's work is quality and he stated more than once that he wanted to make sure I was happy. Honestly, I am way beyond happy because I have never contracted with anyone who has been as thorough, nor who worked as quickly as Mack. My porch looks great, my siding is no longer bowed out, and the pressure washing made my twelve year old siding look new. I was so impressed I immediately hired him to repair a door frame, stain my back deck, and replace warped deck boards. I will definitely be giving Handymack Services my business in the future because they value me as a customer and I value their honesty, promptness, and attention to detail."

"AMAZING WORK - Skimcoat & Primer throughout my apartment. Hugo himself fixed my apartment. My apartment had old walls FULL of issues, cracks, moisture issues, everything in the book And he himself gave me a great quote for exceptional work. I trusted him with my home and he practically gave me a new home. At the end of the process he gave me time to review any imperfections or anything I dislike and he patiently went over every single thing to give me absolute perfection. I can’t complain. Amazing value for amazing work."

"Duraglass was quick to respond to my request for services, and schedule visit to my home - I had 4 panes of glass in wood frames that were needed to be replaced, and a double glass window that also needed to be replaced. DuraGlass arrived on schedule, determined what was needed for repairs; maintained great housekeeping in the execution of the work. cleaned up after the job, kept me informed on progress and status on arrival, and provided consultation on an additional window that needs repairs. The pricing was competitive, and overall, I was very happy with their efforts and would hire Duraglass again."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

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.

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.

Framing a basement takes three to five days, on average, when completed by a professional, though it may take longer for a larger space. Keep in mind this doesn’t include the time to complete the design, obtain permits, and install the drywall on the framing. On average, fully finishing a basement takes an average of 45 days.
