"We recently had Jeff install a new electrical outlet and he was able to squeeze us in right before Christmas even with his busy schedule. In the past we've had him repair siding and do a basement remodel and he's been great with everything. He went out of his way to make sure the siding replacement matched the old color perfectly when it was very difficult to find. I've seen a lot of siding repairs not match the original color so this seems to be uncommon. He transformed our basement from a basically unusable space to what's now probably my favorite room in the house. He's always been a pleasure to deal with, honest about work that needs to be done, and responds very quickly. One of the things I appreciate most is that he'll do a job the way you want it to be done and do it the right way. We've had too many people try to cut corners and tell us how they want things done so it's refreshing to find a professional that will treat you right. Highly recommended!"

"Hardest working, most meticulous crew Iâ ve ever hired. Josh and Co. responded the day I inquired, completed an estimate, and got to work the same day! The three-man crew completely cleared, rebuilt, lined, mulched and planted several large planting beds and manicured a overgrown eroded slope on my 3-acre wooded property. I was shocked at what they got done by day three. My neighbor stopped over and immediately asked for their number. The price was more than fair for the quality and extent of work. Did I say meticulous? Highest recommendation, though Iâ m afraid theyâ ll get too busy :) Plan to hire again and often."

"Chris Jackson has done work for us twice on our 5-unit multi-family apartment building – once in December 2022, and then also in January 2023. Chris’ work is high quality – he’s a seasoned contractor, handyman and "master of the "punch list" who can handle both interior and exterior issues. His expertise includes electrical, gas stove repair, faucet repair, changing locks, repairing doors, putting in thresholds and transitions, repairing windows and screens, insulating pipes, mold remediation, putting in drywall, finishing and painting, cement work, boiler work, downspout repair, and more. On top of this, Chris is a personable fellow and cares about his customers. I’m a relatively new property owner -- Chris’ advice about property safety issues and tenant relations has been helpful. More importantly though, Chris himself is a landlord, and sees things from an owner’s point of view. Here's why this is important: When I explained there was a water-damaged hallway/stairwell repair project that needed to be done incrementally due to cash flow – Chris understood immediately, and explained how it could be done in sensible, lower-cost phases. I so appreciated his flexibility. This is a big deal, because when another vendor (not Chris) gave us an estimate for a long-list of electrical projects, he absolutely refused to break it into smaller phases. We plan to hire Chris again, we've recommended him to other owners, and are preparing our next “punch list.”"

Customers say: Quality work

"I have been working with Mike on medium to small jobs at my house since December. Some of the things he’s done have been to re-tile my tub surround, replace my bathroom floor, replace the toilet, install shoe molding, build a door to the shower access panel and many other smaller repairs and improvements. Mike is probably the most reliable contractor I have ever worked with. He is punctual, always calls in advance to confirm appointments, follows up to see if repairs are holding up and is courteous and respectful of my home and my belongings. He cleans up thoroughly at the end of the day and puts things back even if he’s coming back the next day. His prices are more than reasonable and he always produces receipts for anything he purchases for the work. Mike is very hard working and does excellent work which is sometimes difficult as my house is almost 100 years old. Additionally, he makes every effort to work around my schedule. I would recommend Mike for any type of project you have in your home."

"Munion Kitchen Cabinets is the absolute best! Jimmy, his son Anthony, and his daughter Nicole worked on our kitchen and dining room. They refaced and rebuilt all of our cabinets in our kitchen, and built from scratch an entire dining room cabinet set in our dining room. They also worked so well with our counter top company to make it as seamless as possible for us. We pretty much redid that entire side of the house (kitchen and dining room) and they could not have done a better job. The work they did was incredible. Jimmy was hands on and we felt like we could trust him. We even had a fridge delivered while they were working and he spotted a scratch on it that we didn’t see at first and we got it replaced. They also hand built a fridge “built-in” that is incredible. We feel like we are living in our dream kitchen because of the work they put in."

"Deck Works, LLC did an excellent job for me. I needed an outdoor fence repair, and after finding them on Angie’s List, they called me right away and came out promptly to assess the project. They explained the repair clearly, and the cost was very reasonable. The work was completed exactly as promised, and I couldn’t have been happier with the results. A few days later, a tree limb fell during a storm, so I contacted them again to see if they could remove it. They came out the very next day and took care of it. I really appreciate their quick response, professionalism, and willingness to help. I would highly recommend Deck Works, LLC."

"Corey is a great guy! Very professional and hard working. We had him add trimwork to our two story wall to frame out our living room and foyer. The wood that is on our railing to our loft was installed 20 years ago. He managed to mix stains together to come up with a very close color. It looks beautiful! We will definitely hire him for other projects!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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. 

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

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.

You can enclose an open carport, however, there are several things to consider before opting to do so. You'll want to check local building codes and permit requirements before proceeding to make sure it’s legal. While you can sometimes stick-frame a carport enclosure, pre-fab kits are also available. Remember that you'll likely need to meet concrete slab regulations and provide lighting inside the structure. Both of which could substantially drive up costs.

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.
