"He was great to work with. The job was done in a timely manner and looks great. He kept us up to date on what he was doing daily and answered many questions about the porch before we could ask him. Tim also kept the cost down when possible by using some of the existing porch. We will use Tim again."

"Nathan put in the gravel driveway (with underlay clay) and contracted an all metal garage to be built by installers. His team built the forms and contracted for the concrete pad to be poured that the garage now sits on. His efforts were not easy. Through his efforts we are pleased with the results. Nathan is a great guy to deal with."

"Del Phillips did an outstanding job renovating our upstairs spare bathroom. From start to finish, he was professional, reliable, and extremely detail-oriented. He took the time to explain the process, kept the work area clean, and made sure every step was completed to the highest standard. The finished bathroom looks incredible — better than we imagined — and the craftsmanship is top-notch. Del’s communication throughout the project was excellent, and he completed the work on time and within budget. We couldn’t be happier with the results and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled contractor."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.
