"Elite tore down and hauled away an old deck that was falling apart and built a big beautiful deck in its place. Sergey was very responsive to our vision for the deck and he went above and beyond to make it happen. Several neighbors have noticed and now have deck envy.. Ha! I would highly recommend Elite to anyone looking to build a new deck."

"The actual job was to replace a strip of the concrete foundation and the interior/exterior wall adjoining the foundation. Cory was very knowledgeable about the work that needed to be done. He replaced the foundation and the wall in the most efficient and affordable way and his work looks great. I would highly recommend hiring Cory for his honesty and his good work ethic."

Customers say: True professional

"EXCELLENT! HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I cannot speak highly enough of Ken's work. He was responsive, competent, pleasant and highly professional. He was also willing to come out to the north part of town (we are in Colbert). We had a couple of projects -- one rather urgent (major ice load in our eaves after the heavy snow storm that was causing water flow issues around the house) and a minor issue related to our washing machine water hookup. He diagnosed the problems and tended to their solutions within a day of calling him. He cleaned up everything when he was done and left our house better than when he showed up. We are new to the area and will use him for any handyman job we need from here on out."
Using a hose with a nozzle, ladders, brushes and gloves, I removed tree debris from the gutters on this single story residence.
Great looking house.
The plow truck blocked my client in leaving her now way out. I quickly cleared a road in and proceeded to the front door.
Heavy snow removal work up on a roof top.
This is what the project looked like just after paint went on.

"Contacted TruBlue and Ryan (Project Mgr) showed up the next day and provided a reasonable estimate. Gage and Steve performed the worked the following 2 days with Ryan providing oversight. All were extremely professional/courteous and well qualified in performing the work. We were very pleased and will definitely use TruBlue in the future. I would not hesitate to recommend them to others."

"We are just finishing up a 2nd story deck install with Dynamic Decks. The whole process was tremendous. From evaluating the tear down, to clearly going through the process of installing a quality and lasting deck, through the installation. Everyone was professional, they preformed quality craftmanship and everything was done in a timely manner. I highly recommend their work."

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.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

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.

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.
