"They were absolutely amazing to work with. Our house is 118 years old and they hadn't been updated since the 70s. They treated my home like their own. I am beyond happy with the end result"

"The contractor was very good at the cabinet install. He was very polite and considerate. He was knowledgeable. Would recommend him to anyone who needed this type of work done"

Before Picture.  See how short those upper cabinets are?
A before picture, you can see a clean work area and where the ceiling height was originally.
Fortunately, with carbon filters, range hoods don't always need the vent stack.  We were able to eliminate this, and the soffeting, to extend the cabinets to the ceiling, while removing the old drop down ceiling.

"WHL Construction responded promptly to my phone call regarding a fairly large second story balcony that was pulling loose from my house's ledger board and was in danger of falling. (Years ago, the original contractor used nails instead of bolts to attach it.) Bill Lamey came to my house the morning after I called and spent over an hour examining the problem and determining a permanent solution. He pulled his 7-man crew from another job and in one day's time, starting at 7:30AM, they disassembled part of the balcony, reattached the support boards to the ledger board with durable, strong bolts, replaced the Trex flooring which had been damaged by screws popping up before the problem was noticed, and reassembled everything including the original balcony rails and spindles. Several contractors wanted to trash the entire balcony and start over with a time estimate of a couple weeks and a much higher price tag. Bill's crew did an excellent job and his quote was reasonable. Plus, he guaranteed his work in writing. I highly recommend WHL Construction."

"Once I sent her all the measurements, it took her a little while to get the options back to me.  Overall, they're good designs.  However, they're very simplistic and give general ideas for space planning.  I was hoping to have a better idea for sizes of furniture for the space and some variations on staging.  
Jill was very responsive when I did have a question.  I'm not sure how helpful it is to have a virtual design done.  If we lived in similar cities, I'd probably use her again for help with additional designs.

"“Great work & very trustworthy. Worked with Sam Weber on a quick job on our kids’ rooms. He was very knowledgeable about potential issues before getting into it & was able to get it finished very quickly. I would trust him with any future builds or remodels."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

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, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

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.
