"We needed a very large stone fireplace removed and then that area merged with 3 small closets to make a bedroom. Mike gave us an estimate up front, not knowing for sure what they would run into. The fireplace was huge (at least 4' x 4') and there were repairs to the foundation that needed to be made, but he managed to keep it within $1000 of the original budget. He also replaced several posts, stairs and railings on our outdoor deck stairs leading from our 2nd floor to our gazebo. That also came in pretty close to budget. He was able to get to the job within about 10 days of when I first called him. The workers were great... here on time every day and respectful of our home. I would hire him again in a heartbeat!"

"I had an addition added to my house. The work was done with perfection. Mark and Scott were phenomenal. I could not ask for better and meticulous work. Very knowledgeable, pleasant, considerate, understanding, empathetic and kind. I was so stressed free that I did not have to worry about anything. I can keep going on how great they were. And No, I am not getting paid to say this. It is honestly true."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

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.
