"Eric built cabinets to hold audio equipment under our large wall mounted TV as well as cabinets with upper bookcase shelving on either side of the TV. Eric helped design this huge unit and built a cardboard mock up for us to see prior to building the unit. He showed us the different types of wood he would be using. This is all custom work except for the doors he has an Amish company make for him. He is a perfectionist. He matched our crown molding for shelving tops as well as matching baseboards for cabinets to our existing baseboards. He scribed the shelving units to the wall. Can't even tell where he caulked nails for baseboards, etc. Paint job is superior. Eric is a very experienced master craftsman. He built and finished in a very timely manner. Eric is an all around good person with a strong work ethic, fair pricing, and will soon do another project for us. It was our very lucky day to find this professional!"

"From the beginning Brian Murphy handled the project efficiently and professionally. It seemed like as soon as I called, the work was started. The fence was started yesterday and finished today. Alex, Brian and Jeff were very professional and performed an amazing job! No disruption in our daily schedule, they were in and out. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND these individuals to perform any fencing needs you have. We will be contacting them again for other projects! Thanks much!"

"Rob, the owner of the company, provided a price quote in an extremely prompt manner. After we came to a mutual agreement, I appreciated the way he structured our contract to include progress payments based on the completion of various work phases and not on specific dates. He remodeled my kitchen by performing many tasks such as tearing out the old kitchen; installing new flooring, cabinets; LED can lights, a new garbage disposal, an over-the-range microwave oven, and backsplash; building floating shelves; relocating a ceiling fan; and re-connecting all appliances. When challenges arose because of a faulty design by another firm, Rob was quick to provide thoughtful alternative methods to overcome the design flaws. He worked diligently throughout the process, rarely stopping to eat lunch. Finally, when the work was completed, Rob did a fantastic job of removing machine dust from the exterior of the cabinets, the backsplash, large appliances, and the flooring. The kitchen was so gleaming and beautiful that I didn’t want to use it for a few days. All discarded cabinet boxes and other debris were removed in an orderly manner. Overall, it was a pleasure doing business with Be Blessed Remodeling."

"Mike and Jim did an outstanding job leveling, reinforcing and and structurally improving my mother's deck. They made certain that my 90 year old mother could safely navigate outdoors on the deck which is her very favorite place to be! I am beyond satisfied with this finished Deck repair project by Mike and Jim of Tri-state Home Repair & Maintenance. They have exceeded all our expectations!"

"They came out to my house on time to look at my barn roofs and got me an estimate that night. They were the only company that did what they promised. So I hired them and Joshua gave me a 14 day window to do my job and they showed up on day 7. Project was completed and they did an awesome job. I’m so happy that I chose this company and I highly recommend them to everyone and my family plus friends. Way to go guys."

Customers say: Terrific value

"I contacted Village Craftworks (Antonio) to solve two difficult problems at my home. Antonio analyzed both problems and resolved each problem competently, professionally, and completely. It's not just the skill but the experience. I especially appreciate that they only schedule projects a few weeks ahead so that my small project isn't languishing for months. Cost is fine, quality is exceptional and communications are easy. As a homeowner and satisfied customer of Village Craftworks, they have my strongest endorsement."

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. 

Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

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.

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.
