"Sam and his team were awesome. They gave me quotes and important information in a timely manner and never rushed me on decision making. I hired them to paint the skirt of my house, my front door, and stain some shutters and everything came out beautifully. I will be hiring them for future projects."

"Steve worked on my lakehouse after the Caddo Lake flood. This was a big project that included new kitchen cabinets and counter tops, relocating hot water heater and toilet, replacing shower, installing new windows and doors, installing new skirting around the house. Steve had done some carpentry work for me previously and I was pleased with it. For this job, he gave me a price and said he could do everything: carpentry, electrical, plumbing. He worked from June – August 2016. He started out good, but as time progressed, his work slowed down and the finish out deteriorated. The most serious problem I did not discover until January 2017 when the termite inspector told me there was a leak under the house at the main plumbing connection to the sewer line. My plumber found that the connection to the main line was deteriorated and held together with foil tape. He also found that the drain from the hot water heater pan (1” pvc) was connected to the ¾” pvc from the AC drain with only foil tape, and was going uphill. A leak from the hot water heater would have backed up into the pan and eventually over flowed. Why didn’t Steve tell me the connection to the main line was deteriorated and needed to be repaired? Why did he use foil tape to do anything with the plumbing? These two repairs cost me $1025. Had I known about the main line problem when Steve was doing the work, it could have been repaired/replaced for less cost at that time. The other problems: -- The kitchen cabinets were stained and one coat of polyurethane applied. They were sanded and nothing else happened until the final week. He and his brother then “finished” the cabinets using Liquid Gold. That was their final finish! It cost $600 to have the cabinets cleaned to remove the Liquid Gold, sanded and two coats of polyurethane applied. Additionally, trim was not used consistently down the long sides of the cabinets at the wall or at the base. The painter I hired added the trim that was missing. -- The insulated windows were installed and there were gaps on the exterior ranging from about ½” to 1” between the metal frame of the window and the wood trim of the opening. It looked horrible and provided easy access for bugs, spiders, water, etc. I pointed this out to Steve, but he had no solution. That was just the way the windows went in. After he left, I hired a carpenter to install additional trim around the exterior of the windows and to add additional trim pieces to some of the interior windows to cover gaps there. This cost $210. -- The electrical was a big problem. Steve installed a ceiling light/fan combination in the bathroom ceiling. The wall switches were to work independently. He could not get that to happen. The strip LED lights used in the kitchen were not installed/wired safely. At this point, I hired an electrician to re-do what Steve had already done. I removed the other electrical projects from Steve’s list and the electrician finished that list. This cost $1100. -- The old sink was re-used, but was not set properly into the kitchen cabinet and therefore leaked water between the sink and the cabinet. The faucet also leaked. Only a small bead of silicone was used to seal the sink to the cabinet. I hired a plumber to re-install the sink and faucet. This cost $270. The above are the major problems with this project. The job was too big and required more skill than Steve had. He indicated he could do it all, but in reality he could not. His carpentry skills are fine, but not his plumbing or electrical skills, nor his finish out of big jobs. Additionally, he does not communicate about problems he encounters during the project so they can be resolved while the project is in process."

"Excellent. Honest and quick work. Mr. King was able to get someone out on short notice, to shim/shiv the piers. They performed a full scale cleanup last year, and I will only use Basement kings for any of my crawlspace work. Best in Texas!"

"I was assisting with some electrical home repairs where this company was also performing painting services. They were very professional and very friendly, which made working with them very pleasant and easy. They were very good about sticking to the time frames they quoted, even when their were budget difficulties. They were more than willing to work with the customer on costs, even during their clean up phases. They also cleaned up their work spaces before it became a big mess, which saved me the hassle of cleaning up after previous contractors when I was doing my own electrical installations. I highly recommend this company, based on their professionalism, friendliness and how well kept they maintained their workspace areas."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.

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. 

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.

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.
