"Mr. Remo was wonderful to work with the job each time they arrived on time and performed excellent work. Absolutely professional and work hard to get the job done in a timely manner. I highly recommend for your construction needs around woodworking on outside of the house such as patio decks and more. Provided good detailed discussion of how,. what and where certain repairs needed to ensure long term fix/replace etc. Very old school knowledgeable."

Customers say: Quick response

"The owner of Froland Carpentry runs a first class professional company. The crew shows up on time and are pleasant and respectful. They protected surrounding work area surfaces including floor runners on the stone floors. We had cabinetry work, water damage repaired from the exterior of our house including water damage on the interior walls and baseboards. We couldn't be happier with the impeccable finish work. They are real pros. We will definitely hire them for our next project which will be staining the driveways and decks around our swimming pool. We completely trust their quality of work, clarity in communication, bids and follow through. Great find!"

"I cannot say enough about Denali National Construction Company and itâ s owners Victor and Mayra! Along with their excellent crew they made my unexpected project of extensive wood repair and whole house painting go smoothly from start to finish! Mayra immediately answered all questions and immediately returned all phone calls. The guys were there 7:30am sharp every single day, worked hard, and left the job spotless each late afternoon. Victor came by even if he was not working on my house that day to check on how everything was going. I had asked Victor to please also take care of any unforeseen issues which he did without hesitation. My house looks beautiful and all because of Victor and his dedicated workers who not only did an excellent job, but really cared about what they were doing! Endless thanks to Denali National Construction Company for their honesty, integrity, and commitment to getting the job done â … right!!!"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Many modern homes have soffits, but older ones don’t, and you may be wondering why. Older homes have eaves that extend further beyond the home and help to circulate air, negating the need for a soffit. This style of building has faded away, therefore, modern homes need separate soffit installation. Modern soffits are more efficient than this older style and require less material to construct, saving homeowners money.

Most contractors do not charge for meetings, but it can depend on the project, mainly if it includes detailed consultations or project planning. For general estimates, homeowners shouldn't expect to be charged. Always ask up front about meeting fees to avoid surprises and ensure you know what’s included in the process.

Many contractors prefer checks because they’re easy to track and have no associated fees. However, many also accept credit cards (though they might add a fee to cover their processing costs).

Whether or not it’s easier to cut wood when it’s wet versus dry depends largely on the type of tool you use and the wood you’re cutting. For example, a chain saw should still be able to cut through wet wood with relative ease, but it may be more difficult to maneuver due to the wood fibers sticking to the chains of the saw. 

However, you might want to avoid cutting wood entirely when it’s wet if you’re pruning your tree. Sawing a wet tree that you don’t plan on removing can also encourage bacterial and fungal growth and decay.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.
