"STL Woodworking did a stellar job with my special order for a one-of-a-kind river wood table. I described what I had in mind in terms of wood, colors, and size, and the owner (Greg) crafted the most beautiful table made out of a beautiful piece of macacauba wood and paired with a gorgeous epoxy color and a perfect set of black metal table legs. Greg completed the project on schedule and delivered the piece himself. The table is stunning, so I rearranged my furniture to make it a centerpiece in my sitting area, and I use it daily as my desk working from home. It is truly a piece of functional art. I am so glad I went with STL Woodworking for this project."

"Highly recommend!! I researched several construction contractors for 2 months prior to relocating into our home, and I am truly grateful I made the decision to hire A+ Custom Remodeling, LLC, to manage the various and multiple tasks I knew I wanted completed. A+ Custom Remodeling, LLC. did not disappoint as a general, multi-tasking contractor. If Mr. Roman Mcbrayer (owner and founder) could not complete a task himself, he knew exactly who to contact to get the job done in a timely manner. I hired A+ Custom Remodeling, LLC. for the following: * Repaint the interior walls of my home. * Install a backyard fence. * Install electrical work, to include additional outlets in & out of the home. * Install a utility sink in our laundry room. * Install an elevated, extended concrete driveway with building pad. * Instrumental in delegating an A/C repairman to service our air conditioner. * And our biggest project - Convert an open wooden deck into a large 2-tier, enclosed porch with covered grill station. Not only was Mr. Mcbrayer knowledgeable and professional, but his crew was just as professional, respectful and very hard-working, possessing the abilities and knowledge to complete any task successfully with excellent communication skills as a team. Their strength and stamina to endure peak-summer heat temperatures with every project they were asked to execute was phenomenal. More importantly, Mr. Mcbrayer (A+ Custom Remodeling, LLC.) can keep track of everything going on and sets priorities to get things done very efficiently and effectively. A reliable and skilled business owner who ensures completed projects quickly with great results."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.

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.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.
