"Mose, was able to create the front panels for a new KitchenAid refrigerator. He also had to match the type of wood and stain to match the rest of the kitchen. The work was excellent. I would definitely hire again."
"Tim did a fantastic job with our kitchen. He worked with us through the process, coming up with solutions when we encountered unexpected challenges. His craftmanship is remarkable. Tim tore out our kitchen and drywall, installed new drywall and overhead lights, a new ceiling, installed new cabinets, and installed the tile backsplash. Everything looks better than we could have imagined! We will certainly hire him for any future projects. His estimated timeline was perfect and he started right when expected. Fantastic contractor!"
"Great!! AIS did exactly what they said they would do. Their contractors were knowledgeable and professional. The design is perfect for my home. It doesn’t look like an add on. It looks like it was part of the house when built. We are getting lots of use out of it. Our friends and family love it!! Great customer!! Would highly recommend!!"
"Very smooth install. Ed was nice, personable, and timely. He installed the solar lights efficiently and correctly. And they function perfectly. Fee was very reasonable as well. He’s agreed to install similar lights next weekend at our daughter’s home located about 10 minutes away. We’re in the market for a new handyman, so would not hesitate to contact Ed again. Thank you."
"Beautiful paint job on master suite! Jim & his crew were flexible, professional, courteous, & helpful - all of which contributed to a great experience!! Their ability to assist with some "handyman" jobs as well provided even more value."
"Great experience from start to finish! He was quick, professional, communicated well, and did a fantastic job on our paint and trim work. We would absolutely hire him again!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.
Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.
Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.
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.
A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.
