"Very helpful with suggesting how to design deck and build it the way we wanted. Custom steps to take person up to above ground pool turned out great. Privacy fence looks beautiful also!"

"The man who performed the work was great! On time. Professional. Good job. He measured everything from floors to walls for estimates for laminate and paint. Again, he was great!!. I didn’t hear back. He messaged after I texted and said they couldn’t get to me until the following month. But I still didn’t get the estimate. The first time I ever hired a handyman. So just an ok experience."

"Prince Roofing is one of the ?best contractors? I?ve hired. I needed several exterior repairs done on my house. Mr. Prince assessed my concerns, gave reasonably priced estimates, and the project was completed on time as quoted."

"They had to tear down existing deck and replace with composite decking. Finished product looks great. They also did some landscaping around the pool which also looks great. I would definitely recommend Brock Marshall and crew and will be using them again."

"Fantastic! I had probably called about 15 people trying to have someone come out and put a brace in my cabinetry to support a stone countertop I was having installed. Nobody would help me! I called Mr Handyman and could not have been happier with my experience. The customer service was second to none and they had me scheduled within the week. George was professional, tidy, quick, and personable. The pricing was more than reasonable and the work was top notch. Thank you, George! I will be a loyal customer for life!"

I called Greg for an estimate and he called back promptly to schedule a time. He gave me a thorough written estimate via email. He showed up when he said he would and painted the areas as mentioned above. He was very cautious as to not get any paint or debris on the new carpet. He was meticulous in his work....detail oriented. He prepared all surfaces prior to painting...fixing nail pops etc. He did not expect any payment until the work was completed to my satisfaction. I ended up paying less than the estimate because it did not take him as long as he estimated. He also used less paint than estimated and that was reflected in the final cost as well. I do not know how other painters charge for paint but I know that Greg did not mark up the paint he used. He purchased the paint with his contractor discount but did not inflate the cost for me.

I plan on using Smiley's Painting to do some exterior work for me in the Spring. By the way, he is a one man business and you have to take that into consideration when you seek his services.

"Cincy Premium Exterior did a great job! The siding, gutters and sidewalk look amazing! Our house had been looking fuzzy, sad and a bit neglected. After Jared was done with the job, everything is looking bright and clean! Highly recommend for a quick house refresh."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.

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.

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

Traditionally, bungalows are single-story homes, although having a half or partial story on top of the first floor is common. While adding a second story to a bungalow is certainly possible, the home would no longer be considered a bungalow by the strictest definition.
