"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!"

"I hired Thomas Hickman to rebuild my deck, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. He works alone, and his professionalism, discipline, communication, and attention to detail were clear every day he was here. He completed the full rebuild in four days using treated lumber and quality materials. He brought the deck up to code, installed proper joist anchors, and pointed out that the original deck had been built with untreated wood. The difference in workmanship is obvious. Mr. Hickman delivered top‑tier work and never cut corners. Several neighbors stopped by during the build and asked him to quote their decks after seeing the quality of his work. I’m fully satisfied with the result and recommend him without hesitation."

"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

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.
