"Everything went perfectly. They arrived on time. Took down blinds and draperies, laid down tarps, moved furniture and bookcases, spackled, puttied, sanded, painted, and put everything back in place before they left each evening for 3 days. They did such a good job, I got them to paint and repair the front porch before they left."

"Tracy called us immediately after requesting a quote. He took his time to understand the problem and was available immediately to come take a look at the door. Tracy assessed the damage around the frame and recommended putting installing a storm door after making repairs to entrance. He was very knowledgeable, professional, and took his time in making the repairs and installing the storm door. He was also kind enough to pickup the storm door we ordered from Lowe’s. Price was great and the work was clean and excellent. Would definitely recommend Tracy for any job. Thank you very much for working with us especially that we were dealing with you from another state."

"Mr. Davis was very fast, efficient and completed my project, a deck extension, on time. He did a great job of keeping me up to date on the progress of the project from start to finish. He even completed the project in a little less time than first projected. He not only made sure he found matching paint to the current deck, but also left the can he used for future reference, in case I want to have the paint job touched up in the future. Thanks for a Great and Professional job!!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Homeowners can increase the usefulness of their garage space in other ways, and one option is to extend the length of the garage by making it deeper. The process is similar to traditional garage extensions, but the end product is a garage with a different layout rather than additional parking spaces. 

Metal stud framing parts include the studs themselves, upper and lower tracks that act as top and bottom wall plates, various angle fasteners and clips, screws for fastening pieces togeher, metal straps, c-channel supports, and thicker steel supporting structures. Roof framing metal components include pre-fabricated trusses, heavy-gauge stud pieces, and various plates and fasteners.

Professionals charge between $60 and $95 per hour to install ornamental porch columns. The amount of time they need varies based on the condition of the porch, whether they need to remove old columns, and if there is any damage to your porch's structure. This cost can increase if more issues come up during the installation process.

If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.
