"I recently had the pleasure of working with a Repair Pros to repair the handrails on my wheelchair ramp. The service was excellent from start to finish. Hamilton Forrest was knowledgeable and professional, taking the time to assess the issue and provide me with a written estimate for the work. They were also very understanding of my wife's needs as someone who uses a wheelchair, making sure that any repairs made would be safe and accessible. The repair itself went smoothly, with the workers and Mr. Forrest arriving on time. They worked efficiently and cleaned up after themselves, leaving no mess behind. I was very impressed by their attention to detail and commitment to providing excellent service. Overall, I highly recommend Repair Pros for anyone in need of repairs or maintenance on a wheelchair ramp. They take pride in ensuring that each repair meets the highest standards of safety and accessibility. Thank you for your exceptional work!"

"Trent and his crew were all very professional and did an amazing job. Our addition had been started by another contractor several years ago but never completed. Trent made sure everything was properly done and if it wasn't his crews fixed what needed to be fixed until it was done right. After correcting the things that needed fixing they laid all the flooring, tiled the shower, finished the plumbing, HVAC, and wiring, put in the fixtures, painted, built a deck and enlarged our driveway , put in new gutters and gutter guards and some other stuff. The work is too notch and we wholeheartedly recommend them. Their customer service was also great. We have already hired them to do some painting, carpeting and repair work in the main house part of it to start in the fall and the rest early next year per our time frame on when we want the work done. Definitely a great company to work with and highly recommend."

"Extremely pleased to have made the decision to hire. Add A Deck. Cannot stress enough what a good job they did putting a new deck on the back of my home. From the initial meeting with design suggestions to the completion of the deck, everything was seamless. Would highly recommend these guys to anyone wanting a new deck, or refurbishing."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

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.

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

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.

A few signs that you need a new door frame include:

  • The door no longer fits properly in its frame and sticks or scrapes.

  • You notice cracks, holes, or rotting.

  • You feel a draft coming from around the door when it’s closed.

  • You find yourself frequently needing to make repairs.
