"Fantastic and professional. We have a small house and lost some of our gutters to a snow storm, so we decided to renovate the rest of our gutter system while repairing the damaged sections. Working with HGE was a refreshingly positive experience. All of their team members were courteous, straightforward, and responsive. The work took two days with a weather interruption in between, but communication was prompt which let us accommodate the weather. All in all, great company. I just wish they did fencing so I could hire them again."

"KM and TM Construction did a great job rescreening my porch and added a handrail for the steps. They used as much of the existing frame as possible which saved on costs. The crew was on time, courteous, and cleaned up well. The job was completed earlier than anticipated."

"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!"

"Falcon Renovations provides quality craftsmanship and workmanship that is both creative and elegant as well as concentrated and focused whether a touch up or a whole project completion. Suggestions are offered to locate best price points for paint, wood and supplies for clean lines and an exciting finish. with a thoughtful review of what is most effective regarding the safety of home and what could potentially be hazardous. I have never found Falcon's suggestions to be anything but outstanding while their respect for our home improvement ideas was always what they worked to accomplish. They are talented. Becca Mick is a wonderful professional to work with and the Owner, Donald Grantham, is A+ in everything with respect to a home from carpentry, to electricity and plumbing, lighting, fixtures, decks, and heating, painting, and appliances Mr. Grantham did a couple times protect us from what may have become overextended and unnecessary interventions going on in the house at the same time he was working. He is always kind, professional, patient, and provides the highest quality work at the most affordable price that is competitive. Many times Falcon performed extra work that had been in need of repair for many months, and without a charge. I highly recommend this Donald Grantham and his group of talented professional people,"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.

The cost to convert a carport into a garage averages about $22,000, ranging from about $15,000 and $55,000. Additional cost factors to consider include size, time of year, and how much of the carport you can reuse. Other cost factors include the kinds and amounts of materials used, such as:

  • Add insulation: $1 per square foot

  • Add drywall: $1–$3 per square foot

  • Add window: $450–$2,000 per window

  • Add outlets: $75–$500

  • Add garage door: $250–$11,200

  • Enclose framing: $5–$13 per square foot

  • Replace roofing: $1,000–$2,000

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.
