"I warmly recommend Saul, his father, and his teammate for their efficiency, hard and fast work. Saul responded immediately to my request, came the next morning (July 4th!!) to evaluate the job and give me an estimate, and was ready to get to work within the same week. I thought it would take forever, it was done in 1 day. He didn't push me to do more than was needed, came up with very practical solutions (a part of my deck was rotting due to water infiltration), and executed it extremely professionally. The end result was almost seamless. They even went the extra mile and helped me with a couple of small jobs I was having trouble to do myself. They were respectful of my space and demonstrated much integrity. Shall hire them again."

Customers say: Quality work

"This place is fantastic! I hired them several months ago to replace a bedroom window and a patio door screen. Recently, the condo association had the buildings painted and I couldn't get the bedroom screen or window to properly close after they finished. They came out, found that for some reason the painters had taken off the screen and put it on backwards which caused the window problem. They fixed it and I wasn't charged for the visit. I will use them for any window projects I may have in the future and I will recommend them to anyone."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.

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.

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.

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.
