"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."

"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."

"I own an 90-year old historic colonial high school turned into a bed & breakfast. The windows were neglected over the past 20-30 years and in serious demand of work. Modern day window contractors were not going to understand this job. It's very difficult to find a contractor that will come through on a promise and has the skill to do as they boast. The day that Grady stepped into my 90 year-old home that needed historic window restoration, he became a part of the house. He knew exactly what had to be done. More importantly, he understood my expectations. These windows needed special attention. There was a level of detail required that not any expert would be able to handle. Grady took the time to learn their needs and stayed on the job until it was to my satisfaction. He even reworked an entire window just because I didn't like the way that it looked. Grady truly showed expertise with his ability to work on such a delicate job and even taught me a few things about historic window repair. He replaced broken antique glass with one just as aged and just as historic. If a window had to be completely rebuilt beyond his solid estimate, he did it without any complications to my budget. My windows are not only restored, but they are literally brought back from the past. Any enthusiast will appreciate the lint-seed oil, putty, and antique glass that was all restored to perfection. It was a pleasure having Grady work with us. He even stayed in the house at times to make sure he was available for the job. In fact, we're going to rename the room in which he stayed to "Grady's Den". Thank for bringing character and craftsmanship to my investment!"

"Robert is an "Old School" style professional, anything worth doing is worth doing right. As a retired Architect, I can tell you my standards are very high. Robert met those standards because his personal standards are high also. He replaced a very old deck railing that was a challenge. I presented him with "Hog Wire" material that I wanted to use plus we used cedar wood. The railing turned out amazing! Robert was very flexible and creative with solutions to combining the materials and adjusting to a deck built in 1976. Robert believes in customer service and satisfaction. He is pleasant to work with and is very efficient. His helper Anthony was great also. I am very happy with his work and would recommend him to you if you need work done. I have other work I will be doing with Robert in the future. Britt J. in Palmyra VA"

"Doug Canada is an experienced carpenter who works with the customer to accomplish desired repairs. He repaired two storm doors and installed another on a third door. He replaced a broken window and removed globes from two outdoor lights so that the globes could be cleaned. He also installed two drapery tie-backs. I'll be hiring him again for other projects."

"I hired Dan over the course of a few weeks to help get our house ready to sell. He painting one full floor, did drywall repair and touch up throughout the house, painted our front porch, and power washed the outside of the house and walkway. It was a pleasure working with Dan in every capacity and I can definitely say that his excellent work heavily contributed to our house going under contract only two days after we listed it! He was very responsive to us, communicated well, and was very responsive to our schedule. Would hire again and highly recommend."

"Adan and Dennis were very professional and explained every detail. As I have cabinets from 1964 and covering them with Granite after removing Butcher Block was a challenge. The age of the cabinetry were altered and caused the Granite not to be level. They had to construct a shammy?? to help make the balance. They were so compassionate with their explanations. They did a great job making everything work excellent!! They really cared that they did their best to make me understand the problem and how it could be resolved. They made the experience very pleasant!! My contractor and plumber came through and said the guys did a fabulous job. Very level. The seams were put together the best they could. They cleaned and sealed the Granite!! Kudos to Adan and Dennis for making me feel Appreciated!! Thank you Classic Granite and Marble for having the best Staff!!! Luka was great also at the beginning and throughout the entire process!!! She knew how to explain the different styles of Granite and Quartz that helped me make a perfect final decision! Luka also took time to answer all of my questions and share how each one was relevant to my needs!! Love ? everyone there!!! Nichole accepted my sink for clearance and made sure it got to the correct location!! Grace normally helps Home Depot, yet she was on vacation so I missed her!!! Thank you all for a very rewarding experience that made me happy!!!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

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.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.
