Family owned and operated business that started out as a part time business specializing in deck care and restoration and has grown into a full time home service firm. We have 27 years of experience in the field and take pride in our work. Punctual, courteous, neat and attention to detail are how our clients describe us. Referrals account for nearly 50% of our business and we take that very seriously. Now serving parts of Lee county in Florida for the winter months. Our services range from general handyman to bathroom remodeling. Jobs can be priced by the project or by the hour. No job is too big or small. Consultations are always free and can be worked around your schedule. When we are hired to do work, we never use subcontractors. Our name is too important for someone to tarnish it. The owner is always on the job and doesn't just send in a "crew" to complete the work.

"Excellent. Great job; good & fair price for quality work; good communication from owner; done in and on time as quoted and within estimate. Very satisfied... I would use them again and I will suggest that my friends and relatives do also. I'm very happy."

More than 30 years in the construction/remodeling business. Passion for remodeling/renovating with an emphasis on Kitchens and Bathrooms. Making the customer delighted with the results of a project is the number one goal of mine. Attention to detail is always our standard. We provide the following services: Kitchen and bathroom remodeling, tile installations, heated floors, painting, historic renovations, replacement windows and doors, basement renovations, decks, porches, hardwood flooring and more.

"My kitchen remodel turned out beautifully. The design was unique, thoughtful, and used great colors with attention to detail. The backsplash is amazing and he really went out of his way to help us choose unique touches that made the space feel special. My contractor was conscientious and listened to our needs throughout the process. When there were delays he made up for them with thoughtful upgrades which we truly appreciated. He was professional, pleasant, and collaborative every step of the way. The result is both functional and stunning and I would gladly recommend him to anyone looking for quality work and a contractor who truly cares."

"We contacted Matt to demolish a very old deck and build a new Trex composite deck, stairs and railing. The entire base support structure of the old deck needed to be replaced, including attachment points to the home that were rotted due to poor design and flashing of the prior deck. When looking for a contractor we researched many options. We eliminated contractors who seemed to only occasionally build a deck, those who had a different primary focus area, and those who did not often do composite decking. Initially, we found Matt's business listed on the Trex website as a certified TrexPro Gold installer. After then reading his positive reviews across AngliesList, Facebook, & Google, and seeing photos of many projects that appeared to be the type of work we were looking for, we reached out. Communication was excellent from the initial quote through completion of the project. The quality of the work and attention to detail was excellent. The project was a notable investment in our home, but we are very pleased with the results would highly recommend Matt to others."

Jason provided outstanding customer service and the work was superior! There were no surprise costs (other than a gorgeous tile floor WE chose to add on at the end). We highly recommend Mallette to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their home renovations. "

"Endor Group did our master bathroom and we were so happy with the results! They replaced the flooring, vanity, installed the shiplap and tiled the shower. Noah and Dane are incredibly efficient, meticulous, and detail oriented. They worked very well as a team and made sure I felt involved. At the end of each day they also made sure to clean up and organize. The pricing for my bathroom was very fair as well. I’d recommend them to anyone that needs work and wants quality results!!:)"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.

The cost to convert a carport into a garage averages about $22,000, ranging from about $15,000 and $55,000. Additional cost factors to consider include size, time of year, and how much of the carport you can reuse. Other cost factors include the kinds and amounts of materials used, such as:

  • Add insulation: $1 per square foot

  • Add drywall: $1–$3 per square foot

  • Add window: $450–$2,000 per window

  • Add outlets: $75–$500

  • Add garage door: $250–$11,200

  • Enclose framing: $5–$13 per square foot

  • Replace roofing: $1,000–$2,000

You can use a nail to find ceiling joists, but it’s not as reliable as a stud finder, and you’ll end up with lots of small holes in your ceiling. If the nail hits a joist, you'll feel increased resistance. Mark the spot with a pencil. Repeat this process regularly along the ceiling, 16 or 24 inches apart, until you've mapped out the joist locations.

There are some rules regarding how far your exterior bump-out can go. For a cantilever bump-out that avoids the need to provide additional structural support, the limit is often 24 inches. However, if a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can encompass a whole room or more. Remember that many residential properties are subject to limits regarding the total house size relating to the size of the lot. 

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.
