"Vasilly had to change the day/time for the job he bid, but he called & rescheduled agreeing to come on a SUNDAY morning. He made it that day; on time - a pleasant surprise. It took him about 3 & 1/2 hours to build & mount the railing in the garage. This single railing installed in our garage looks great (nicer than we'd anticipated & will serve us very well (safety assistance after surgery required this addition). We were concerned it might look really 'weird' but the materials Vasilly chose along with his skillful installation has totally eliminated that concern. Total construction & materials: $400."

"Dave took 2 bedrooms and a small bathroom and created al master suite. He enlarged and upgraded the bathroom and made one elegant bedroom. Dave is a perfectionist and the work reflects it. He is also very creative and loves his job. We couldn't ask for more: The remodel is beautiful, artistic and practical, the price reasonable, and he and his crew were a delight to have around--polite, respectful and fun. Millennium Specialties exceeded our expectations and more!"

"We hired Precision Painting and Construction for 2 different projects, and weâ re currently working on a third. They painted our interior walls, which was incredibly challenging due to molding that was adhered to the walls from the previous owner. The painting looks excellent. We also had them build a new wall with a doorway to make another bedroom out of a loft space. The wall looks beautiful. We currently have them painting our kitchen cabinets. Justin and the crew are easy and wonderful to work with, theyâ re efficient, and pay attention to detail. Theyâ re responsive when we have questions and provide accurate estimates when needed. Would highly recommend."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

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.

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.

Yes, professionals can install new frames, trim, and threshold adjustments for a complete finish.

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.
