"We needed baseboards installed in 2 rooms and had a tight time frame for getting the work completed. Nathan Long responded quickly, helped us select a beautiful product and installed the baseboards promptly. His workmanship is stellar and the results are beautiful! I would highly recommend Long Company Fine Carpentry."

"I'm very happy with the work done by DC Framing. The old decking was replaced with new Trex type material that looks great. Balthazar adapted my old lattice work to fit my new design. He was a "can do" person. The project was delayed because of rain but completed in a reasonable amount of time."

"There are truly not enough words to describe how grateful we are for Rosalin and the incredible work he created for our home. From the very beginning, he poured his whole heart into building our floating staircase, and it shows in every detail. The moment we finalized our contract, demolition began almost immediately, and he worked day and night to bring our vision to life. Our staircase has become the heart of our home and the first thing everyone compliments when they walk in. The ambient lighting and organic luxury design completely transformed our space and created such a warm, earthy atmosphere in our forever home. Beyond his craftsmanship, Rosalin’s positive attitude, humility, professionalism, and genuine care for his clients made this experience unforgettable. He took so much pride in his work, and we will always be grateful for the beautiful centerpiece he created for our family. We truly could not recommend him more!"

"Over a period of about a month Tenorio's A+ Home Improvement did a total demo of my old bathroom, major framing repair work beneath the subfloor and in the walls, and installed a beautiful new bathroom (including drywall, wall texturing, painting, subway tile in shower, new sub floor and floor tile, pedestal sink, toilet, mirror, etc). They showed up everyday organized, on time and ready to work, were professional, courteous, communicative at every step - identifying issues encountered and explaining fixes, suggesting design options, and handled all the permitting and inspections. I absolutely love my new bathroom. I would definitely recommend these guys and plan to call on them again for future projects."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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 can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

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.

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.
