"Austin not only got the job done right, he’s accomplished our upgrades far beyond expectations. He is a master of his craft, a perfectionist, and conscientious business owner. Every morning at 7AM Austin was at our house already preparing his day. And at the end of the day he was still full of energy and excited about the magic he was planning for the next day. He was fair and calculating for a realistic price for materials and labor. He has been reliable, trustworthy, engaging, and caring. Austin provided thoughtful creativity as we challenged him to achieve woodworking corrections on our damaged hardwood floor that 3-4 other contractors said wasn’t possible. Austin made it happen… and flawlessly! Please know that everyone has different needs and expectations, but my husband and I have been delighted with Austin’s work. He’s earned a 10 out of 10 on our scale of excellence. Thank you so much Austin, you truly have made our vision happen. "

Welcome to Hershberger Construction, LLC. I am a locally owned and operated business from Elverson PA with 20+ years of industry experience. I pride myself on the quality of my work as well as my commitment to outstanding results. I enjoy wood working and have the ability to work with you to create a custom look that fits you and your home. I can do normal trim work quickly but thrive on the creative side of wood trim accenting that adds to your homes personality and warmth. I am a part time minister and I am a mandated reporter with all of Pa's back ground checks and clearances to work with minors. I leave every job swept clean and I do not get paid until the project is complete. It would be an honor for me to work for you in your home.

"Eric was on time, worked expeditiously, knew what he was doing and was very nice. I was pleased with the results.!"

Roof Recovery LLC is a single member LLC committed to giving the customer quality work at fair price. My name is Tom and I have been roofing for 27 years. After working for many different companies I decided to start my own LLC who is dedicated to honesty and integrity. I keep it simple. No salesman, no sub contractors. I will not try and sell you something you don't need. A small crew and little overhead means better rates for my clients. Same material, same warranties as the big guys. After being in the trade for decades I've seen so many people get taken advantage of by huge roofing outfits. Stick with an honest contractor who is here to help you. I realize a new roof is a big investment and try my best to be as fair as possible and still be profitable. Small job? I make time for every job and WILL RETURN YOUR CALL! Hire a straight shooter. You and your wallet wont regret it. That's my guarantee. See what my clients are saying . www.roofrecoveryllc.com 484.374.2557

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.

Any bowing in a basement wall signals an issue that needs to be addressed. However, bowing of 2 to 4 inches is more straightforward to fix than bowing of more than 4 inches. That’s why it’s essential to call a pro as soon as you notice the bowing wall. The sooner you address the problem, the easier (and less expensive) it will be to repair.

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.

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