"We needed our free-standing shower replaced. This included replacement of some tile outside the shower, and cosmetic repair of part of a wall in our bedroom. Big bathroom contractors like Luxury Bath told us we would have to get separate contractors for each of those projects. Bob took care of everything. In addition, it turned out that our shower was not a standard size and required a custom design. Bob handled this as well. Due to this, the project lasted longer than initially expected as the shower glass had to be specially ordered. However, we now have a rain-drop glass shower with rain shower head and hand-held sprayer that blends in with our existing master bath. Bob's tile work is beautiful. We got the shelf in the shower we wanted as well as our choice of tile and design (Bob met me at a tile store of my choosing to pick out the tiles for the entire project). Importantly, Bob kept within the budget agreed upon. He consulted with us throughout the project so we were always aware of where things stood and understood when the project was delayed."

"Hired Rick and his crew to replace rusted out porch roof supports, at one of my rental units. Even though it was a rental unit, I am still very fussy on what it looks like, and that the work is done well. I went from 6 supports to 5 wood supports with a header for the porch roof. His suggestion on the header improvement from what I wanted to do, shows his experience and attention to details. I was done in a timely manner, and area was left clean. He called me and sent pictures when he completed the job, because I could not be there that day. He will be my only call moving forward for any repairs or remodels. I had researched many contractors to complete this job, and since he was a local business, near me, I decided to give him a chance, and I am so glad I did. Joe"

"Joe and his team were dependable, respectful and experienced. ALL-Phase did a basement room addition with soundproofing as well as electrical updating through out the house. They also installed an stovetop vent to the external of the house. This is one of the best contractor experiences I've ever had. I'd be sure to contact them again for future work."

"The kitchen was completed gutted and rebuilt within 3 weeks. Matt worked with us on every aspect of the remodel and addressed everything we had on our wish list. On all the projects Matt and his people were here every day until the work was completed to our satisfaction. When they left each day the work site was spotless. We have been happy to recommend MNB Renovations to our friends and family and plan on having Matt back when we are ready for our next project(s)."

"Bill was not only responsive and professional, he worked around my crazy schedule which had him coming to my place on Sunday and at night. He is a hard worker and completely honest and trustworthy. I had him remove rotted stairs from the side of my house and rebuild with a little extra room. It was a necessary project but after completed, it was so beautiful that I now enjoy being at the back of my house. In five years of ownership, I never once wanted to be in my backyard. I not only highly recommend him but will definitely have them out for more projects"

Unfinished 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 average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.

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. 

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. 

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.
