"The biggest positive about Kurt was his response and professionalism during the whole process. His price was very competitive and he guided us through the whole building process and answered all of our questions. In addition, the project turned out great! Kurt and his crew rebuilt and replaced our two decks with Trex wood which should give us decades of use. We will definitely use Kurt for future projects and highly recommend him to others."

Customers say: Quick response

"Randy has great attention to detail and does not cut corners. Whenever issues came up, he dealt with them expeditiously. As this was for an out-of-town property, Randy was in constant communication throughout the project. There is nothing about the project we regret doing and plan on using Randy in the future. Highly recommend Castro Construction."

"I highly recommend Keigh for any home maintenance or improvement projects. He helped us with a wide range of tasks—from landscaping and power washing the house to assembling furniture and handling various odd jobs around the home. He was always punctual, professional, and incredibly trustworthy. What impressed me most was how efficiently he worked; I only had to explain each task once, and he got it done right the first time. His attention to detail and reliability made the whole process smooth and stress-free."

"Dustin Evans, owner of All-in-One Construction, has been our "reno" home contractor for numerous years. From sheetrock to Hardy Board siding, to new garage doors, windows, doors, and front deck expansions, the team has touched every corner of our home, both inside and out -- except the kitchen, which will be the last hurrah! Dustin and his "guys" do a great job with each project "tasked" and stand by their work. The team is personable, honorable, and HONEST. They often offer suggestions and go above and beyond. Pricing is fair. In an urgent SOS matter, Dustin makes you an immediate priority -- which is an invaluable trait these days. My husband and l greatly appreciate Dustin's work ethic/professionalism and personal dedication to his own family and ours. HB"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

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

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

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.

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.
