With years of professional experience, Innovative Projects and Design was founded in Dallas Texas, in 2014 by a woman with a vision. The goal is to become Community Developers to help relocate the lost & left behind. Understanding she had no experience in the industry she hired Veteran professionals that could teach her the game and help her help others. We have the expertise and skilled team that can build a house from the ground up. However, we choose to focus on Fences, Decks, Gazebos, Pavilion, Patio, Screen porches and more since COVID arrived and we are loving it book with us now. All of our builds are custom and from scratch

"They installed my gazebo. The workers were very respectful, professional and were very careful with my backyard. It was a pleasure to work with Mrs Tiffany, kept me informed about everything. If needed I would work with them again."

We are a small partnership of craftsmen, with a pool of labour resources for larger jobs. Any services that we do not provide directly or that you could save money by using another provider will be recommended. We don't believe in charging you a fee to make a phone call therefore we don't use subcontractors. For example if you have a new construction project needing & entire AC system, we will call our preferred AC company & introduce you & you will pay them directly. We take no referral fees or mark up prices. This guarantees you that you are getting the company we think will do the best job. We charge a day rate for larger project that consists of a fee covering our equipment, a supervisor and a craftsman, as needed you will pay a fee for each additional labourer covering their cost for the day. This keeps cost down regardless of the size of your job. We have worked on dozens of landmark historical churches and homes and use old world craftsmanship with the latest in materials and technology to ensure quality results on all of our projects. Although we can handle highly skilled large projects we take as much care and offer savings for your two hour need. All customers are important to our business as you are our only advertisement. Award winning. ***All work is guaranteed for 1 year from the date the work was completed.***

"Can't recommend Lakewood Restoration enough. They did a great job, at a great price, and on budget. I am amazed at how well he built a wall on an existing wall of a loft and closed it in to make another bedroom. He explained everything well with me and really cared about getting this project done correctly. He is very detail orientated and would recommend again!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Any bowing in a basement wall signals an issue that needs to be addressed. However, bowing of 2 to 4 inches is more straightforward to fix than bowing of more than 4 inches. That’s why it’s essential to call a pro as soon as you notice the bowing wall. The sooner you address the problem, the easier (and less expensive) it will be to repair.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.
