"I originally started with looking at concrete platform steps which needed footers that proved too expensive. The House Doctors provided me with alternate options using treated lumber and backfilling with gravel. I am very grateful to Seth and Mike for working with me to understand the challenges, come up with alternate solutions, and work within my budget. An excellent solution that ended up saving me $5000.00"

"“We hired First Call Handy Services to remodel our master bedroom, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. They were professional, detail-oriented, and completed the project on time and within budget. The quality of their work was excellent, and they kept the space clean and organized throughout the process. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable contractor!”"

"Chris was extremely professional and very skilled at his trade. He completed the work within 2 days of our first contact and kept excellent communication about costs, time of arrival for first consultation and date of service. The projects were challenging and he did incredible carpentry. He was very good at keeping the area clean and respectful of my home. We have already discussed additional work that he will do on the house. I am excited to work with him again and recommend him without reservation. He is a breath of fresh air for someone to really work with a homeowner!"

"Desborough construction is my go to contractor for, all and I mean all, of my home improvement needs. I have used John Desborough's company for the last 10 years and have always been happy with the quality of the work. John personally takes the time to help you and always is available to answer questions, help with design and point you un the right direction for fixtures and the like. John and his crew are punctual, polite and clean up nightly so that a busy family can live through any construction project. This time around I had them frame in custom doors to match existing doors in my bedroom- see picture below. I challenge you to determine which of the three doors is the newest ( the other two are over 40 years old). Hint - it's the middle set. I also had them install overhead lighting fixtures in my guest room. Professional and efficient. It is why I keep coming back. ( We remodeled the master bath a few years ago with them too)"

"We have a property that has a small concrete patio that eventually will need replacing. About 2 yrs ago, my husband had fixed a few cracks but did not have time to address the issue this time as we had other projects going on. In this case I had hoped to take some of the workload off my husband and hired Neatniks.
About the time he was scheduled to arrive, he phoned to say he was running late. He did arrive considerably later then anticpated and left sooner than what we had agreed upon via phone (hrs work and cost per Angies list) but that was not the biggest concern. It was a Friday and I get things happen and people can run behind so long as in the end, our work is not negatively impacted.
He is a very nice man but his level of expertise was just not there for what was needed. After using something similar to a dremel to clean out the cracks to make the repair neater, he did not realize that he needed to use another material (I believe it's called a backer rod) to keep the concrete patch from running through, thus using way too many tubes for the areas @$12/tube. He did offer to come back another time to finish, but it was clear he did not get why this was consuming so many tubes of patch.
After seeing the bill and the unfinished job, my husband found time to get the backer rod in place 1st, then used the tubed concrete patch....so honestly, as nice as the man is, we would not have him back for home repairs. I thought he knew what he was doing and clearly should have figured out the cracks were not holding the material in before wasting so many tubes at our expense.
Not worth having to repair someone else's repair work. 
I feel bad having to write this as I am sure by the other reviews I had read about him doing other projects he is well qualified for and again, very nice man, but just not knowledgeable for this type of repair.

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

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.

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.
