"We hired Chris and his team to build us a 5 foot tall shadowbox fence in rocky river and the fence is beautiful. His communication was excellent throughout then entire project. I believe I call him on a Wednesday or Thursday and he came and quoted us that Saturday morning. In addition, he got us in fast and understood our need to get our toddler fenced in immediately to prevent him running to our front yard ( on a busy street). We were originally supposed to get the fence install started the weekend after Easter due to us needing to clear out bushes, etc. However, when we finished our yard work early he started the fence 2 days later and had it done before Easter. Fence build took 4 days total and his team was very respectful or our neighbors and our own property and flower beds. I would highly recommend this company and plan to get our next project quoted soon!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

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.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

Bow windows need support because they are large and extend out from the exterior wall of the home. Bow windows may extend 1 foot to several feet from the outside of the home, so you’ll need to provide additional support to handle this weight. A window contractor will be able to provide the proper amount of support for your new bow window.
