"I hired Troy-Bilt-Construction for my deck and custom porch project and I couldn't be more happier and pleased with the final product! Troy is a true perfectionist when it comes to his trade! They showed up everyday and worked very long hours until the project was completed! Troy was very helpful In helping me make some of the design decions that I wasn't sure about and always thinking about keeping the structural support part of the build in mind! I truly love my new deck with a beautiful custom screen porch using the ScreenEze system! The job site was cleaned up at the end of everyday and all trash was taking away at the end of job! I highly recommend anyone looking to have work done on their home to not hesitate calling Troy for their project! He was a true proffessional from start to finish! I already have other future projects in mind that T-B-C will diffently being doing for me! GREAT JOB!! /Thank you so much Troy!"

"Fantastic and professional. We have a small house and lost some of our gutters to a snow storm, so we decided to renovate the rest of our gutter system while repairing the damaged sections. Working with HGE was a refreshingly positive experience. All of their team members were courteous, straightforward, and responsive. The work took two days with a weather interruption in between, but communication was prompt which let us accommodate the weather. All in all, great company. I just wish they did fencing so I could hire them again."

"I was seeking repairs to a covered front porch: the tongue and groove floor was rotting in one section and the wooden railings were loose, peeling, and in some places rotten. Without coming out to view the porch, and basing his estimate on photos and measurements I sent, Fred Aldridge gave me an estimate for total replacement of the floor with decking and replacement of the railings with prefab vinyl. He was adamant that a rebuild/replacement and not a repair was what I needed. Indeed having priced repairs (and knowing for a fact I would have to repeat them within 5-10 years), I was convinced that his solution was better. The price he quoted was reasonable but the price I ended up paying was another 50% higher because of discoveries that took place as the project got going: Rotten struts, the need for braces, non standard railing dimensions, and rotten bases to a couple of the porch pillars. Rather than repair the pillars, he suggested replacement with vinyl preformed pillars. That alone really boosted the final price. The result is that I now have a gorgeous low maintenance porch that I shouldn’t have to worry about for 15-20 years. Mr. Aldridge and his crew truly know their business of building decks and porches. They are not into carpentry or preservation of existing architectural features, however!"

"Paolo is an amazing contractor. I'm usually pleased if a contractor is responsive, or honest, or creative. Paolo is all of the above and more. He did an amazing job of completely rebuilding our master bath. He had great ideas, was extremely patient and flexible and wasn't satisfied until we were. His craftsmanship is beyond reproach and his crew were wonderful to have around the house (especially his father who works with him). If you can get him on your schedule, I recommend him without any hesitation.."

"Josh Bond, the owner, is very dependable. His co. replaced all the flooring and top rails on our 16 x 35 deck and did an excellent job. They also painted the interior of our house plus the kitchen cabinets, hung several new light fixtures, installed new flooring in the kitchen and one of the baths and other misc. things."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

The cost to convert a carport into a garage averages about $22,000, ranging from about $15,000 and $55,000. Additional cost factors to consider include size, time of year, and how much of the carport you can reuse. Other cost factors include the kinds and amounts of materials used, such as:

  • Add insulation: $1 per square foot

  • Add drywall: $1–$3 per square foot

  • Add window: $450–$2,000 per window

  • Add outlets: $75–$500

  • Add garage door: $250–$11,200

  • Enclose framing: $5–$13 per square foot

  • Replace roofing: $1,000–$2,000

Bow windows need support because they are large and extend out from the exterior wall of the home. Bow windows may extend 1 foot to several feet from the outside of the home, so you’ll need to provide additional support to handle this weight. A window contractor will be able to provide the proper amount of support for your new bow window.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.
