"This bathroom remodel was the 2nd time we've used Brandon for a job in our home and we'd do it again in a heartbeat. The end result is nothing short of perfection, but from beginning to end, Brandon shows a respect for your home and the remodel process that can't be compared. He is extremely professional, approachable, honest, and very, very hardworking. His attention to detail and the quality of his work isn't just reserved for the actual job at hand (The tile work he did in our bathroom is spectacular) but also for the comfort of the people living in the home during the construction. With covered floors and high powered filters, we didn't have any of the dust and debris all over the rest of the house like you normally do during a remodel. Before he left each day - the whole area was cleaned as if wasn't going to back the next day to start again. I would wholeheartedly recommend Fenninger Carpentry to anyone. His work is amazing and you can tell he cares about the final product. You won't be disappointed."

"We have normally done interior painting ourselves, but this was a big job (living room, hallway, bedroom) and since we also had some ceiling damage from a leak we decided to get it done for us. We had used Jim the Handyman for a couple jobs last year and were very satisfied with the work so called them again. They showed up early to do the estimate and we discussed a number of items to be priced so that could pick and choose if need be. We quickly got an estimate and agreed to getting the work done. It was supposed to be a week to a week and a half out from the Thursday estimate date but they called the next Sunday afternoon and said they could begin the job Tuesday (finishing Thursday). We said yes. Mike showed up within the 9-11 timeframe on Tuesday and got right to work.. He was the lead guy for the three days, directing others who came to help. Very impressive. Not only does he know everything about how to paint, he knows how to manage a job. And he is a pleasant and friendly guy on top of that. The crew prepped, painted, and cleaned up. They made sure the job was done right (no need to follow behind and check on their work - they do their own quality control). We supplied the paint and spent a day getting things off the wall and some things moved. We have a lot on our walls and so I spackled as things came down. We could have left it, especially the wall repair. Mike could immediately tell what had been done and went back and did it correctly. We probably would still take things off the wall to prep, but the rest we would leave to their crew. The areas of the ceiling that were damaged are back to looking perfect. We had some paint bubbles in one bathroom ceiling - also corrected - and with a better paint choice that Mike recommended. The new door and door frame were more of a challenge for the guy who came to do the work because the one jamb was a little out of plumb (our house was built in 1961), but he got it done. We are very pleased with the experience, the quality of the work, and extremely pleased with the finished result. Its like having a new home."

"I recently had the pleasure of hiring Crowning Touch to work on a wall feature in my condo, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, they exceeded all expectations. Right from the initial consultation, it was evident that professionalism was his hallmark. Guy was consistently punctual, arriving on time and ready to work diligently. His cordial demeanor made the entire process not only smooth but also enjoyable. One of the most notable aspects of his service was his attention to detail. Despite the challenges posed by working in a condo environment, they exhibited a level of care and precision that truly set him apart. It was evident that he took great pride in his craft, ensuring that every aspect of the project was executed flawlessly. What's more, Crowning Touch’s pricing was incredibly reasonable, offering excellent value for the high-quality work they delivered. In a market where quality often comes at a premium, Crowning Touch provides an unbeatable combination of affordability and excellence. Without a doubt, I will be returning to Crowning Touch for any future carpentry needs.

"Matt and his crew are incredible. ?Matt quickly responded to an email and came over the next day to look at the house and gave me an estimate and some new ideas. ?He provided me a detailed quote within the hour and he and the crew were at my house starting the job at 8 am the next day. ?They were able to get everything done within the week estimated timeline and Matt even came over on a Saturday to install the new blinds once they arrived. ?Also, the movers (from a different company) caused some damage to the freshly completed walls and paint and Matt arranged to have it fixed that afternoon (thanks Karlos!). ?I cannot recommend Matt and his crew enough, they are just amazing. ?I hope to use them again someday to redo the kitchen and bathroom. ?You will not regret hiring Matt."

"Davis Contracting did a fantastic job repairing my deck. They installed all new posts (11), replaced some boards, power washed. and stained it. The crew was great--highly skilled, friendly, hard workers. It was a 2-plus day job with 3-4 workers. Alex checked in on them each day and made sure the project was on track. My deck is like brand new now and very happy with the end result. I would highly recommend using them for your projects"

"We used Samâ s Home Improvement to create our backsplash. He had a good price, and we were very impressed with his subcontractor, Luis Quispe, who actually did the tile work. He understood our plans, gave some suggestions, and was flexible with changes. The end result is fabulous."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Enhances property value, ensures safety, and provides a sound basis for future construction.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

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.
