"He gave me his private cell number and we were to make plans a couple of days later for him to look at the job. So when I didn't hear from him I called him and he said I had the wrong number! I checked it against the one he gave me and the one that was in my past calls and it was not the wrong number. I don't know what kind of game he plays but it cost me valuable time. It seems their was no other handy men on Angie list."

16 yrs. Residential and some Commercial. Have worked with multiple Designers. Existing and new construction.

"It was such a treat to work with Danny and Picture Perfect Paper & Trim! What an all-around wonderful experience from start to finish. Danny brings impressive expertise, professionalism and superior follow-through to the job. The crown molding now in my husband's office is by far the nicest, most elegant example in entire house, and my newly wallpapered guest room is just gorgeous. All work was done by the afternoon (amazing), and everything looks even better than I dreamed it could. Many thanks to Danny & Co. for such a rewarding home makeover experience!"

"Arrived on time as stated; cleaned-up afterwards. Appointment for estimate was good & professional. The day of the install, everything went as we expected it to go. The installer cleaned up the area during, and after the install. The shelving units were pretty much what we discussed & paid for. Cost wise I thought the install was pricey, but it did rate in the same range as others, so for the work performed it was normal for the industry. Love the new organized look & can't wait to get everything organized to go back in the closets & make use of them."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.

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.
