Maintenance professional with 20+ years of experience in mechanical systems, troubleshooting, and repair. I specialize in home repairs, fixture installs, drywall patching, and custom solutions—including welding and light fabrication. I take pride in clean, reliable work and showing up on time.\n\nI’m especially good at solving problems other contractors can’t or won’t take on. Whether it’s a small repair or a list of projects, I focus on getting it done right the first time. No sewer or major plumbing work.

"I enjoyed working with them. They ended up moving our appointment earlier, but were still mindful to do the project under favorable weather. Communicated well throughout the process. It was maybe a tad expensive for the square footage involved, but worth it to know they did a good job."

"He called to let us know he was on his way and arrived when he said he would. He diagnosed the problem quickly and did the needed repair. He also took an extra minute to make one additional unrelated small repair. He also looked at a third issue and gave his opinion about the needed repair. He was very professional and we would certainly use him again."

"These professionals were customer focused and dependable. If they were running a few minutes late they contacted me. They worked so hard at making the serious repairs I needed done on removing rotten wood on my porch and had to jack up a couple of columns and replace the flooring under them. They did a great job and they were very reasonable on the price. They will do all my future work. V Howard, kemp, texas"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Traditionally, bungalows are single-story homes, although having a half or partial story on top of the first floor is common. While adding a second story to a bungalow is certainly possible, the home would no longer be considered a bungalow by the strictest definition.

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. 

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.

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.
