"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."

"Pro got the job done well and in the time and time frame as promised. It was done for an affordable price for labor and for supplies. I would recommend this pro for any home improvement jobs at affordable price. With gas prices as high as they are finding a qualified and affordable worker is key to home improvements and being able to afford them."

"Tyler did amazing work completely redoing the top level of my porch and even adding a water-proofing system for the downstairs area! The new stairs look amazing as well! I couldn’t be happier with the quality and professionalism he provided! I will be sure to recommend his company to others as well!!"

"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

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

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.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.
