"Ed suggested the vinyl wrap and plastic wood trim. He was my third estimate and had a completely different solution than the first two contractors which was not only in keeping with the rest of the exterior but maintenance free and affordable. He also did a couple of other minor exterior items and the entire job came out great! Thanks, Ed!"

"I recently had the pleasure of working with this home improvement company, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to every detail. They completed the project on time, maintained excellent communication throughout the process, and exceeded my expectations with the quality of their work. The craftsmanship was outstanding, and it’s clear they take great pride in what they do. They left the work area clean and treated my home with care and respect. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality home improvement services. Thank you for a job well done!"

"We had hired Global Property Resources many years earlier for a large outdoor kitchen at different home. We know they were the ones for this challenge. We had some major structural, plumbing and electrical redo in order to make the changes we wanted for the kitchen. I am not sure many contractors would have been up to the task or stayed due to all of the challenges. The key was the great communication to get us from the ideas and issues to a kitchen we are proud of. Wonderful people to work with."

"Tim did a superb job of tearing out the old, putting in the new and repairing the active wet spots in the kitchen ceiling. I feel that his estimates were fair and reasonable and the craftsmanship was a world of difference from the previous subpar job I had done. He is very timely, works consistently and stays on schedule. I can't say enough how happy I am with his end result on this project! I'll be having him back to do another bathroom soon!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

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.

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.

If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.
