"Jeff did a great job with our projects. He completed each project with experience, knowledge, and attention to detail. He installed hardwood floors, tiled our master bathroom, removed wallpaper, and painted the interior of our house. The tiling and hardwood install were precise, with no margin for error. The painting looks great. We would definitely hire Jeff again!"

"Matt and his team totally refinished our basement and garage in our new accessible home. He listened to what we wanted and made excellent suggestions to the design and delivered a wonderful â great roomâ in our basement. He put in a full bathroom with storage and used nooks and crannies to make more storage under the stairs and in the enclosed utility room. His sensitivity to my husbandâ s disability was always front of mind. The garage was insulated and dry walled. He built an accessible work bench and nook with a bench to hang winter coats and change boots. As if all of this wasnâ t enough, he did all of this on budget and on time. His estimate was 1/3 of what the big name construction companies in the area had quoted. And he delivered everything that we needed and wanted. He came highly recommended to us from one of our neighbors and we gladly pass along the high recommendation to anyone who wants simple yet creative and solid solutions for your remodeling projects."

"Once I sent her all the measurements, it took her a little while to get the options back to me.  Overall, they're good designs.  However, they're very simplistic and give general ideas for space planning.  I was hoping to have a better idea for sizes of furniture for the space and some variations on staging.  
Jill was very responsive when I did have a question.  I'm not sure how helpful it is to have a virtual design done.  If we lived in similar cities, I'd probably use her again for help with additional designs.

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

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.
