"Despite bitter cold and slushy/icy ground, the crew arrived promptly when they said they would. The foreman was polite and clearly explained what they would do. He answered my questions and they quickly got started. To my pleasant surprise, when 5 pm and darkness came, they stayed until they finished the job - including cleaning up! I am very satisfied with the work, the professionalism, and the cost. 10/10, I will hire them again for the next repair on my house."

"Dana is wonderful to work with! Unfortunately, he has not completed our job yet, because he noticed that the louvered door I had purchased was bowed and would not fit into the door frame properly. He contacted a local dealer to help me find another door, but we ended up ordering one online. He was kind enough to put the old door back into place until the new one arrives and said he would not charge us for his time today. We will definitely have him return to install the new door! Dana is very skilled in working on/restoring older homes, and although our job is small, he has been very kind and willing to help us. He is a pleasure to be around, and even our dog, Ruby, loves having him here!"
Handymen Project
Bottom portion of plaster wall was once repaired with sheet of drywall. With no meaningful connection between drywall, drywall mud, and true plaster, the weight of the old plaster above, with nothing to hold onto, or to hold it, collapsed.

"Curtis, our project manager, was great! He was responsive to our requests and concerns â very easy to work with. I thought he managed the varied trades necessary for the building of our sunroom well. The whole project went smoothly after the county finally issued the building permits. I would definitely recommend Stoneridge and would use their services again â especially with Curtis as the project manager. And, Curtis had a crew clean up after all construction was done leaving us with a sparkling new sunroom. Thank you Stoneridge!"

"Kenneth came, on time BTW, very pleasant to interact with. He looked our situation over, offered suggestions, and gave us a fantastic quote. Being seniors ,we are usually unsure of quotes we are given. We accepted and set up a time frame. On the day the work began Steve and Alvin did an excellent job, very friendly and lost no time getting to work. If you are looking for an honest, reparatable team, these guys are awesome. Thank you Kenneth, Steve and Alvin for the fine work you did and making this senior very happy. We will use them again."

"This was a very involved plaster repair and remediation job, in a very old house. Grady is the only person (or company) who was willing to take on the job and drive all the way from Pennsylvania to our home in Northern Virginia. There are very few people who do this kind of work anymore (we really searched) and he is an expert in his field. We needed to work around his schedule, because he is in demand in the tri-state area, so it took awhile to schedule the work to begin... but it was worth it."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.
