"Mike is great! He came out quickly to take a look at our ceiling repair job. Very impressed with his professionalism and quick response to our request. While we didn’t hire for this project I am keeping his information for future reference as we will likely need remodeling work on a larger scale down the road. His reviews speak for themselves and after meeting him in person I have no hesitation about working with him in the future."

"We have used a good amount of companies before, and continued to get the same result; no communication, always above budget, and never within the time frame discussed. Trevor and his team were the exact opposite of this. We never had any issues with communication, price, or time. We also have three small children and our project was fairly large. Trevor and his team took great care to make sure our children were comfortable, and most importantly, safe. 10 out of 10 will absolutely hire again."

"I couldn't be happier with the work he did on my deck! He did an absolutely amazing job and went above and beyond to make sure everything was done right. He was professional, dependable, hardworking, and paid attention to every detail. You can tell he truly takes pride in his work, and the finished deck turned out even better than I expected. It looks beautiful, sturdy, and completely refreshed. It's hard to find someone you can trust to do quality work, but I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing deck or porch repairs. I am extremely happy with the results and would absolutely hire him again!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

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.

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.

Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.
