"Curtis Kuhn is a master craftsman. He converted my old family cedar chest into a beautiful heirloom piece for my family. The cedar chest was in really bad shape, and Curtis made it remarkably lovely and like new again. He takes great pride in his work, and his prices are reasonable. I recommend Kuhn Custom Woodworking to anyone who needs any kind of woodwork done."

"Absolute top quality professionalism from beginning to end. We had Urban Legend Woodworking install a library wall, with ladder, in our home office. It is absolutely incredible craftsmanship. When we have another carpentry project that we need done in our home, I would not hesitate for one second to have Urban Legend Woodworking be my first and only call. Thank you!!"

"I have been employing American Residential Construction for over four years. Mr. Hodges and his team have completely remodeled my home in Euless. Inside and out. Ask them for photos. Bathroom and kitchen remodel. All flooring . Fences. Ect. We then had them at our buildings . Welding a loft in our office for formal functions. Very elaborate. Plumbing electrical painting and they did an awesome cave shower at our Dallas office. Then I sent them 2 x to Galveston to work on my beach house. Major framing and flooring. Chandeliers redoing the electrical panel and basically everything. They are honest. They have worked for us for 2 years non stop ..on multiple properties... .every day. Their team is $750 a day. This sounds high however bid work is astronomical in comparison. Mr. Hodges runs a small crew. Dependable. Honest and reasonable. We offered them permanent positions with our company. He declined . He has stage 4 bone cancer and I get it. He likes his freedom We will keep them busy as long as we keep buying buildings to remodel. His concrete work is also a skill he has done for us. He and his team are like family. You can not find a better contractor. I would highly recommend."

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.

The cost to frame a 2,000-square-foot house can fall anywhere between $14,000 and $32,000. This price can increase or decrease depending on what type of framing you choose, the quality of the materials, the project's complexity, and whether you decide to hire a professional to do the job.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.
