"Nick did a fabulous job on our basement remodel. His craftmanship and creative problem solving really helped transform a challenging space in our 100+ year home. While there are many good contractors and carpenters out there, what sets Nick apart is his excellent communication skills and willingness to incorporate our ideas into the project in a way that combined our vision for the project and Nick's technical expertise to create a beautiful update to our home. Nick did a great job keeping us in the loop as the project was going and always was clear about any issues he encountered and potential ways to address them. We added a good number of additional components to the job and he was able to effectively address all aspects of the project (plumbing, electric, HVAC, dry wall, insulation, etc.) really well and keep things moving along with minimal disruptions. He is very detailed in his final trim and door work and definitely knows how to make things look very good! He did a great job with clean up too and was very helpful with material sourcing to achieve our desired look and style. I highly recommend him to friends and family and look forward to seeing what he will accomplish as he continues to build his business."

"I talk to the owner Donaven and discussed the work needed. I wanted him to install wood fence post 36â deep and I would do the rest. We agreed on a price but he did not present a contract to me. He was to start on a Monday and did not show up until 12:30pm because he thought it was going to rain. Had trouble digging the holes with his rented auger and had to leave and get another one with a sharper blade. Next day he did not show up until 10am then he had to leave at 1pm and returned about 3 hours later. When I checked the depth of the holes that evening I found the holes to be anywhere from 12â to 24 deep and most were 17 . (The frost line in Ohio is 32-36 depending on the area. ) I called and told him about the issue and said he would be out to look at them. When he showed up he looked at the depth and said he did not want to redo his work and wanted to part ways and I said that was fine with me. The next day he showed up at 10am and wanted to reconsider and finish the job. I said no thanks because I had already hired another contractor to dig the holes to the proper depth. Not only did I have to hire another contractor but he left me 8 post 16 long that I had to cut in half. Although he seemed like a nice guy I would not hire this company as I feel they are not experienced and knowledgeable about building fences."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

Yes, professionals can install new frames, trim, and threshold adjustments for a complete finish.

If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.

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.
