"Garth was absolutely wonderful to work with! He arrived exactly when he said he would, and was very commutative. He was the only one who could find the shelf hardware that we needed for our older shelves in our pantry, and completed the job very efficiently. We needed to have the job done in a short time frame, and he was so good to fit us into his busy schedule asap. We will definitely be calling upon Garth for future house projects!!"

"I had my siding replaced with HGE. The crew was fantastic, couldn't ask for no better. Jon and Matthew were my project managers for the process and installation. They were very good listeners for all questions and concerns throughout the process which I greatly appreciated. Overall I am very happy with the outcome of the siding and the job they did. If you want quality work and workers that care about what they are doing, I would highly recommend HGE to anyone!"

"Troy and Matt did a fantastic job framing and installing custom surround for a new fireplace and prepping for the install of a barn door on the guest bathroom. TJ did a good job gutting an office and prepping and painting. I would without a drought hire them again and actually have some projects for next spring"

"Brandon is the best handyman I have ever had come into my home. He was hired to unmount from the wall over my fireplace a 65-inch tv and mount a 77-inch tv in its place. In addition, he mounted my new American Flag and pole to my BRICK exterior. All requests were handled with professionalism and class. Excellent work!!! I'm in my seventies and am highly recommending him. You would be making a mistake if you didn't hire him!!!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

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.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

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.
