"Although I provided the materials, the pricing for the repai was fair and honest. The workers arrived on tome and got straight to the job. The workers advised of an insect problem that I was able to take care of before they completed the job. would definitely hire them again and refer them to my friends that may need a project completed."

"Vendor answered his phone. Set up an appointment to visit the repair site. Arrived on time. Presented a fair estimate. Provided a written statement of work listing all particulars. Carpenter arrived on time. Worked continuously for about 10-12 hrs replacing front external steps. Board cuts created tight 45 degree picture-frame fittings. The overall work was very well done. Painting was not included. If I need add'l or new work, I will call this firm and definitely recommend them."

"My husband and I met with Carson and explained what kind of deck we wanted built on the back of the house. We wanted a deck to cover an old patio and extend from the french doors in the living room to the back door of the house. He had some great suggestions about the layout of the deck and stairs. The deck turned out great and Carson was great to work with during the four days it took to build the deck."

"Freeman Repairs did an incredible job! They completed the work in a timely and professional manner. I feel they went above and beyond, making multiple trips to my property to make sure things dried correctly and that the project had the right finished look. Would absolutely rehire."

"I had lots of damaged cement fiber siding on my home and I’m so glad I found LITN. Joe took as much time as necessary to understand what my siding issue was and came up with a repair plan that included replacement of a large amount of siding and painting the whole home. The team did a great job with the repair and the paint job left my neighbors envious of the home’s high quality new look. This home looks better than it was built. I’m so thrilled with the outcome and highly recommend LITN. There is a reason they have a high rating and they deserve it."

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

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