"Had a job that required adding new subfloor, vinyl, and baseboards and Might Dad got it DONE. Where others would not work with us, he showed us what needed to be done, bought subfloor for us, and installed everything beautifully. Would recommend and will be contacting again if needed! Thanks Jeff!"

"What an incredible job done by Erskine. The project was actually to remove a wall between our kitchen and dining room. Not a small job. What a fantastic job he did, start to finish. I knew that I wanted to open up the wall, but had no idea how to go about it or what it would look like. Erskine had a vision when we first talked about it, and it turned out better than he had described. He was eager to incorporate any suggestions I had into the project. The final cost was almost right on the money that he quoted. He was very methodical and precise in his work, paying close attention to detail. He cleaned up and even vacuumed every day, so there was no mess or dust. He started the project, saying it would take two weeks, and finished in exactly that amount of time. It is comforting to know that I have someone to help with anything I might need, from brickwork to renovations to repairs to Landscaping! "

I am a self employed Veteran. I can perform most handyman jobs, ceramic tile, cabinetry, furniture building, and refinishing, as well as finish carpentry. I can paint and hang/finish sheet rock, although that is not my absolute preference. I contracted in Tulsa, Oklahoma, for 12 years with many of the most prestigious builders in that area. My family and I moved here so I could work for the Salem VA Medical Center as a distribution supervisor. After 3 years of the Covid-19 pandemic, I have completed building our furniture in our home as well as completed many custom features to our home in my spare time. I've decided to pursue my passion for building and helping people. I am a stickler for detail and work alone, so I won't be parading people through your property. I will be upfront and decline any project beyond my means. I have a large shop at my residence for any projects that would be appropriate for that environment. My goal is to create satisfied customers. I will communicate and show up as agreed. I have photos available for my latest projects.

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.

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.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

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.

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.
