"I was very impressed Andrewâ s presentation and level of professionalism (the owner). It is glaringly obviously, after interview multiple companies, why his experiences in the industry lead him to start his own business, and I assure you that you will not be disappointed and you will see why he is so highly recommended. 18 windows, a front door and new French doors installed in 3 days! Andrewâ s son is fast, courteous, does excellent work, very clean and professional. This family owned business does customer service the right way!!"

"My kitchen looks amazing! They completely flipped the old dining room and kitchen and took out a load bearing wall. Everything is so fresh and open. They were wonderful to work with, reasonably priced and will do whatever it takes to make their customers happy. Can't wait for the next project to begin!"

"Jim and Jeremy did a fabulous job. They completed scraped the whole roof then put on a primer coat and then the finished coat. This is the best I ever remember the roof looking andI have lived here for 74 years. I highly recommend them for any work. They do a great job, they do not waste time and they make sure you are satisfied. I can not say enough good things about them. Well the best thing I can say is that they made my wife happy."

"Jessie did an amazing job. He was professional, timely and completed the work to fix our rod iron gate that had come unattached to our building. His quote for service was more than fair. We plan on using him as our regular handyman for our 100yr old building."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.
