"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!"
"AIS did a GREAT job on the project, finishing one half of my full basement. The work performed met all of my expectations and more. I'm very happy with the end result and would definitely hire AIS again should I have a need for another home improvement. Also, the AIS staff and all of the sub-contractors were always pleasant and easy to work with. I will highly recommend AIS to anyone whos asks."
"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
Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off.
Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.
Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.
Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.
Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.
