"David and his team did a wonderful job building my deck and pergola as well as replacing a step on my front porch and adding railings. Their work is wonderful and they completed the work when they said they would. I highly recommend them and I will be hiring them again to seal the deck."

"I got 2 quotes thru "Angi" to have a 12 X 25 foot porch with ramp made. The quote from Handyman419,LLC was less expensive, but that alone was not the deciding factor. The owner, Mark Clark was reassuring with his calm confidence, experience and knowledge base-I appreciated these things as I have never hired anyone to build anything for me. Mark has a small but skilled crew who are very conscientious and respectful of the owners wishes and concerns. Brian, Jonah, Michelle and Mark were all pleasant people to be around and experienced at what they do-which was building a safe and well constructed porch. They are very conscious of details and precise. I am very happy with my beautiful porch! I love the composite decking material which was a perfect match to my house, it has such a nice finished look and is safe for my husband to walk on. I highly recommend working with Handyman419 LLC,they are good people who take care of their customers and do skilled work at a reasonable price."

"The sales rep Tim was very professional and patient with me. Throughout the sales process he listened to all my concerns and explained the process from beginning to end. I know that I would have problems with wood replacement and tim made sure to make note of that. During the install there was a miscommunication with the crew and that lead to inadequate wood repair in the beginning. At this point I called the project manager Walter and explained the situation to him. Shortly after Walter came to my house with the field manager Mike and they both did a more thorough inspection of the wood repair and we came to the solution that best fit my home. After the wood repair incident everything went very smoothly. The crew worked very hard and did beautiful work after they took care of the newly installed wood. Overall the experience good. There was a problem but the way the company responded was great and I was very happy with the final outcome of the project."

"I had Cozzys power wash my business building and they did such a phenomenal job, I had him do my home, and my mom’s home! I have referred Cozzys to many friends and family, and will continue to do so. They do an excellent job, communicate, well, are extremely conscientious, friendly, honest and hard-working! I highly recommend Cozzys!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

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. 

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.
