"Allen made my house look amazing. We had some rotting wood posts on the porch, and as he got into the work, it was worse than we thought. Since some of the damage was on the porch roof, he took photos of the damage and of the repairs step by step so we knew exactly what he was doing. He did some exterior painting and pressure washing as well. We have a LOT of concrete and it was a BIG undertaking! Since it had not been washed in over a decade, I wondered if it could even look any better. Allen got our driveway cleaner than I imagined, my porch and exterior painting look AMAZING , and he did everything in a timely manner. He was punctual and professional, and he worked long hours in the scorching heat to get the job done. I highly recommend him!"

"He came and estimated the repair. He started on Friday and had it repaired by Saturday afternoon. He demonstrated very professional quality in the repair. He recommended that I waited least a month before i stain and sealed the deck repairs."

"Fred was outstanding. We started our home renovation by converting part of a bonus room into a bedroom with 2 closets. Then, he converted a storage closet into a full bathroom by bringing plumbing up into our top floor. We were so pleased with that project, we asked him to do a complete kitchen remodel and replaced the floors in our first floor. Fred was efficient and affordable. His work turned out great and he offered expertise and knowledge along the way to make sure we were happy with the finished product. Our family feels like we have a brand new home thanks to Fred!"

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.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.

The cost to install a bow window can range from $1,500 to $15,000, with a national average of $3,900. The total price includes materials, which can cost between $1,200 and over $14,000, and labor, which typically adds $300 to $1,900. Several factors influence the final cost, including the window's size and frame material. For example, vinyl frames are the most budget-friendly option, while wood frames are more expensive. Custom features or energy-efficient upgrades will also increase the price. For comparison, a bay window installation typically costs between $1,000 and $7,000.
