"Dave took out cabinets and put new ones in and painted our laundry room. He's done a few other small jobs for us. Great communication, super nice, he shows up and gets the job done on schedule. We'll be using him for other projects."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Carl on a remodeling project, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the initial quote to the completion of the project, Carl demonstrated exceptional professionalism and expertise. He got right in for the quote and took quick action to get the job done in a timely manner. Throughout the project, Carl was proficient, neat, and communicated every step clearly. The project involved fixing multiple holes and dings in the wall, painting, replacing baseboards, removing carpet, placing new flooring, and even changing light bulbs in a high chandelier in the entranceway. Despite the extensive work, I felt the cost was very reasonable. Carl's work was not only high-quality but also done with a friendly and approachable attitude. I would definitely use Carl's services again and highly recommend him to anyone needing a reliable and skilled contractor. You won’t be disappointed!"

"Bob was great! He removed a deck from my property and I plan on using him again to build a new one in the spring. He was very professional, always prompt, and very detailed in all aspects of the project. Will recommend him to others!"

"I’m very happy with the work done by Dan from Westside Home Improvement. He was very professional and super knowledgeable about everything from the beginning to the end of the project; he was consistently communicative; and he gave me a fair price for the quality and quantity of work that he did. Now my deck looks nearly like new! I would definitely recommend Westside Home Improvement to anyone looking to get home repairs done!"

"Excellent experience. Zach was able to make it over to look at my damaged siding the very next day. He was able to do the repairs immediately, and did a superb job for an incredible price. I will use Zach for any future work that I need done and would highly recommend others do the same!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

Building a barndominium means converting a barn into a house. Barndominiums are becoming popular as spacious and stylish alternatives to typical housing structures. Old barns that become houses traditionally consist of wooden construction. However, newer structures, such as pole barns, often contain metal exteriors and roofs. Converting a metal outbuilding into a house presents an excellent opportunity to create a barndominium from metal.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.
