"Aldridge Enterprises was hired to rebuild my 28-year old deck. They started earlier than originally expected, which was actually a good thing for me. The crew was friendly and expert at building decks. The craftsmanship was excellent. The price was reasonable even with a few small surprises that increased the price slightly."

"I recently had my siding and gutters redone by Home Genius Exteriors and I am in love with how everything turned out! The working crew was wonderful and they went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with the final product (changed out my new exterior light fixtures and house numbers, came back to fix a few things, etc). There were a couple of minor things we needed to check on at the end of the project, but my project manager, Omar, stayed in constant contact with me to ensure that things were taken care of and that I was completely satisfied with everything. As a new home owner, I had reservations about working with renovation crews and I certainly had them at the beginning of the project since it was my first big renovation. But I will tell you the crew that I worked with from Home Genius Exteriors really changed my mind on how home projects can be handled and I'm very happy that I decided to have them do this first big project for me. Thank you to Darian, Omar, Eddie, Abraham, and the rest of the team for everything!"

"I have been using Gary Ryder for home repairs, maintenance and improvements for many years, and in 4 different homes that I have owned. He has done everything I have ever needed done. When asked about his rates, he will quote you an hourly rate. When asked how long it will take, his estimate is spot on! Just a few things done in the past are a beautiful custom deck build, tongue and grove ceiling on my cottage, and shelving installations. I also had him do things for my grandchildren such as trampoline set up, gas powered ATV assembly that was shipped in a box (Gary got that assembled and running under his time estimate), and built a tree house with electricity! I love his integrity, honesty and reliability. He is a Jack Of All Trades, and I trust his referrals if something comes up that he is not licensed or equipped for. Always my first call for anything, thank you Gary Ryder! Highly recommended!"

"The owners of the Winchester location, Bryan and Tiffany, selflessly worked with me to address a few concerns from a previous project (deck). Bryan took the time to understand my concerns and quickly offered ways to correct the problems (nothing structural). Additionally, Bryan went far above and beyond as compared to what I expected in order to ensure I was happy with the overall project. I highly recommend Handyman Connection of Winchester to anyone looking to have a small or large project done at their home."

"Clear communication from estimate through final punch out. Keeping the area clean throughout the project was clearly a priority for Select 1 Remodel. Ray worked diligently to stay within the budget. Will definitely be contacting him for our next remodeling project."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.

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.

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

It's possible to turn your carport into a living space, but there are additional factors to address over turning it into a garage. HVAC, plumbing, and electricity won't be optional, and you'll need finished flooring, drywall, trim work, and legal ceiling height, for starters. Also, keep in mind that living space conversions may require upgrading the foundation underneath, and the permits might be more expensive as well.
