"End result was better than I expected. To my delight the penetrating stain was hand applied. There was no damage to adjacent landscape or walls from the pressure wash, sanding, or staining. Thankfully the result of quality workmen who care."

"This is a very ethical and professional company. They showed up on time and performed the requested deck repairs as discussed at a fair price. Itâ s so hard to find honest good people now days but Troy Built is the real deal. Not fancy automated BS answering service. You talk with the boss when you call. You can bet, these will be the first guys I call in the future for any remodeling project on my home or business. I highly recommend them and appreciate Home Advisor for recommending them to me. I wish there were more trades that worked and communicated this smoothly. I highly recommend them."

"Great deck. A leak developed but Steve sent his folks out, fixed, no charge. It is a very sturdy/solidly built covered deck that we enjoy almost daily. Also had Walden do some interior work and painting including living room, hall and garage interior, excellent job, great price that included a new bathroom ceiling"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.
