"Does an amazing job. We had a large deck built onto our house.Very professional, always showed up on time. Price was very fair, especially for the quality of craftsmanship. He does not cut corners to rush anything. You can tell he takes a lot of pride in what he builds. Deck turned out perfect, built to last and very sturdy. Would highly recommend."

"Chris did more than just a fence. While he was here he also stained our log cabin home and he explained when we would need to stain it again, he didn't just build a beautiful fence around my home but he also built one around the ac unit to keep my dog out, also he help me on small task out of his kindess: move a cement block out of the way of the fence that I couldn't lift, make a hole for my chicken coop so the lamp cord would go though, and he even cared about how to explain for everything how to maintain thre fence for it to last for years. Chris and his dad are really kind hearted people who care about the quality of work they do. My husband and I both adore their character and them as people. We are planning to have them back for soon future projects."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

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.

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.

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.
