"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."

"Out of the four companies we talked with for the construction of a roof over our deck, we choose Stoneridge Outdoor Living. We found them easy to work with plus they answered all our questions and offered plans for what we wanted and at a price we could afford. Their attitude and professionalism has been great. I will update my review when the work is completed but I have no doubt things will go well."

"Jonathan Bales is one of the nicest, most accommodating workers we've ever hired. He listened to what we wanted and asked questions to make sure he understood. He was on time and worked till the job was finished, not just done, but done well, to his own high standards. The job was to paint the inside and outside of our french-style front door. There were several layers of paint to sand off before applying the new paint. The doors also had a few spots that needed repairs. He did the whole job on 2 day's time. The color is a beautiful shade of dark blue, and it is beautiful. We were very happy with his work, and especially with his prices."

"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

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.
