"A Tornado blew thru my street. All the fences were down and some entirely missing. I needed my fences and gates replaced. I chose Matt not only for the good price but his professionalism. He went beyond any contractor Iâ ve ever used. His work was absolutely Top Notch. He showed up on time and stayed late to beat the weather. He made a few suggestions that I never would have thought of. I canâ t say enough about Matt Bradford. My neighbors saw the work and wanted his information. Beyond the acre of fences and gates, he did another project for me building a deck and stairs to my upper garage level. It came out like a designer showcase. Iâ ll be posting it on google reviews. Very reasonable price. And his work puts all the others to shame. Heâ s a true craftsman. Everything he did for me was far far above my expectations. To say he did great work is an understatement. Heâ s absolutely the first person to call. You wonâ t be disappointed with Matt. 5 Stars PLUS! I have more projects that I will only use Matt for. Heâ s that good."

"He did an absolutely fantastic job replacing our old deck. He was punctual, responsive, easy to work with, very fast, and our deck turned out beautifully. Absolutely will be asking him back to do other projects in the future because of how great of a job he did. Very, very happy and will be recommending him to all our neighbors!"

"They came out quickly to give a very competitive quote for putting metal trim around windows on my house. They communicated very well. They were there first thing in the morning the day of the work and were done quicker than I expected. I'll definitely hire them for more jobs."

"They did a good job. I was just hoping it would stop my wood floors from creaking but they are worse. Overall believe the work done will be good for the house support though"

"Rich did a welding job for me on a metal chair. He was easy to talk to at the beginning and end of the job. While he had my chair, there was a delay in getting it done due to him not having the right tool with him. Once I told him that I was disappointed by the delay, he said that he misunderstood the time frame and then worked to make it right. So just make sure to be clear on the time expectation and you should be fine. Good handiwork!"

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

The cost to install a bow window can range from $1,500 to $15,000, with a national average of $3,900. The total price includes materials, which can cost between $1,200 and over $14,000, and labor, which typically adds $300 to $1,900. Several factors influence the final cost, including the window's size and frame material. For example, vinyl frames are the most budget-friendly option, while wood frames are more expensive. Custom features or energy-efficient upgrades will also increase the price. For comparison, a bay window installation typically costs between $1,000 and $7,000.

If you remove a load-bearing wall to create an entrance to a carport or covered patio, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,500, with an average cost of $6,400. Factors such as the type of addition and if that area needs additional work will add to the price.

Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.
