"I believe in life, the universe gifts us people when we need them. Mike and his crew at Capitol City Wood Works were one of these universal gifts our family was lucky to receive. We met Mike about 6 months ago, shortly after my FIL had passed away and my MIL could no longer take care of the house. Our goal was to sell the house. The first problem...the back deck (55ft x 25ft) with a not working pool (33ft x 20ft) in the middle of the deck needed major repairs and code upgrades. The second problem, my husband & I live across the country & were overseeing the repairs from 1,300 miles away. Using Angie's list we found 3 different contractors to interview for the job. Each interview we stated we wanted the deck to be safe, use the structure that is there and look good. Mike was the only contractor that did two important things: 1. he sought to understand our unique situation of distance & selling the house 2: he listened to what we wanted for repairing the deck rather than a new build"

"Handyman Dave did a superb job! No more wobbly "fun house" stairs. No more inoperable chicken coop doors. No more airborne predator threat to the chicken run. Conscientious, ingenious, and hard-working. We'll definitely use him on our next projects!"

"I will rehire LD Remodeling. Just when you think the art of true craftsmanship is lost, Angie's List pulls out one of the best in the business from their hat. Louis, owner of LD remodeling, is honest and reasonably priced. He showed up on time when he came to look at the job. Then he and his staff the day of. Both were professional, respectful of my property and had a high level of attention to detail every step of the way. My kitchen island was standard, typically built and an actual eyesore. LD Remodeling's finish work looks like a custom-made Island that now matches and sinks with the rest of my kitchen cabinets. It's hard to find true craftsmanship these days that understands and knows the trade. Louis and his staff did not disappoint they are the Michel Agelo when it comes to craftsmanship."

"They did a wonderful job removing my old wooden fence and installing a new one with two gates. They were able to match a new stain with the paint color on the old. Very pleased with their work."

"Joseph and team did a great job on re-building my deck, the work quality was excellent. Fantastic job on both the carpentry and the tile work on the out door kitchen/grill. The price was reasonable, great communication and a genuinely good group of people to work with. I would definitely hire them for other remodeling jobs and recommend this company."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

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.

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.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.
