My name is Jason Lance and I have worked in the home building industry since 1995. I take pride and responsibility in servicing all parts of your home from basements to bathrooms, kitchens, doors or your garage and even decks/porches and not-so-common sections of a home. Contact us today for home repair services. When it comes to drywall repairs and people are living in the home, I use a vacuum system to help reduce the drywall dust in the home.

"Jason Lance was the only contractor that answered my request for a quote. Once we agreed to move forward, Jason fit us into his schedule and completed the job in a timely manner. He was very professional and did an outstanding job."

My focus is on handyman work. I've been doing this kind of work for the past 12 years, but branched out on my own in 2017. I have found that there are many people who are looking for someone to do the small but important repairs, and sometimes a little more. I want to help those homeowners that can't find someone to do those little jobs at a reasonable price. I am the owner of the business; I do all the work myself. My goal is to leave you with a finished project that meets your needs.

"The service went perfect he came out to see if he could re-install my old medicine cabinet but with it being so old I had to order another one and he came right out to install for me, as well as fixing my squeaky bathroom door for me. I will definitely use him again."

"They did an excellent job installing attic stairs. We need to have work done in the attic (insulation and electrical work) and did not have easy access to do either job. Everything was nice and square and fit properly. They were working with cutting through old plaster ceiling. The trim was attached and the plaster was repaired like new."

I have an absolute passion for carpentry. I am a craftsman dedicated to quality and am not an all in one contractor. I do trim-work, custom furniture , built-ins , wainscoting , entertainment centers , office pieces , and fireplace surrounds. I offer carpentry services specific to the aforementioned products only. I have agreements and designs signed prior to work beginning and am very organized with that aspect of contracting. In order to provide a high level of service I take about 5-10 projects a month. If you find custom woodworking on a Pinterest post I can more than likely do that for you. I only measure for new work when my schedule allows and take great care to make the most out of our time. If you are looking for a carpenter capable of doing high quality work with zero excuses you have found exactly that. I let my work speak for itself and take great pride in being friendly and professional.

"Rob is honest and does a tremendous job. His work was exactly how we designed it and he uses techniques that other carpenters do not have the ability to match. He was on time, on budget, clean and very courteous. Highly recommend!"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Rather than using a common two-by-four piece of wood for a rafter, you probably will use two-by-six, two-by-eight, two-by-ten, or even two-by-twelve boards. Wider lumber is typically a better choice in a larger building as it provides more sturdiness. Some installers may use wider lumber for rafters near the edges of the roof, where the greatest stress occurs, and save money with narrower lumber toward the middle.

The minimum recommended height for a carport is 7 feet tall, but you might need a significantly taller carport to provide clearance for RVs, commercial trucks, or other tall vehicles. You can choose your carport height based on the clearance you need and how the carport looks in comparison to the height of your home. Just keep in mind that building regulations usually dictate a maximum carport height.

Garages are often equipped with lighting, electrical boxes, and sometimes even heating and cooling, while carports rarely have utilities. A garage is an enclosed structure that can lock and usually has an automatic door. A carport is often wood or plastic and is designed only to protect a car from elements like rain, snow, and hail. Carports are commonly seen on property where an attached garage is unfeasible but can be a cost-effective solution for car protection for anyone without a completed garage. 

Regular sealing, repainting, and checking for wood rot or pest infestations help maintain longevity.

Most wooden carports take 3-7 days to construct, depending on size, complexity, and weather conditions.
