"I hired Froland Carpentry to do a complete rebuild of a deck, replace a back iron fence and replace a kitchen floor. Roland the owner accommodated my timeline of replacing the floor while I was out of town. They discovered a problem left by a previous contractor and they were ready with a reasonable fix. The deck looks awesome and while we replaced the same size and shape as the previous deck, it looks so much better due to workmanship and little details that you don't get with a standard track build. We had a large - very hard working crew at our place as the work progressed. Besides being hard working, each member was respectful and listened. I have worked with a lot of contractors in the past who I would never work with again but I would certainly work with Froland Carpentry again. Bottom-line, they are fast, good price and quality work."

"I have hired many termite/dry rot repair workers but Avram was the most knowledgeable contractor of wood repairs. He spent time explaining why and what he would do for the various types of damage. It was fantastic to be able to trust a contractor. Will use him again and refer him!"

"I was very happy with the assembly and the little jobs he did in my daughter in laws house. I live in Nevada and bought my son and daughter in law who live in California an organizing system for their garage. I wanted it put together for them and secured to the wall. Axis was so easy to hire and work with. He showed up on time, was reasonably priced. My kids were very happy! I am saving his contact number!"

"Farid has great deck building and carpentry skills as he's originally from New England. He gave me a competitive quote the same day and got started 2 days later. I am a real estate professional who uses Home Advisor often for my real estate and property management business. He does the work personally, rather than outsourcing or using a front man."

"I hired this company to repair structural damage to the frame of a loveseat and they did excellent work from the pickup all the way through the delivery. The experience is everything that someone should want and expect from a high quality firm. It was a pleasurable experience."

"I contacted Kyle Beym Home Improvement after seeing his excellent ratings on Angie's List.   I was in a pinch to finish some work before company arrived for my daughter's high school graduation party.   Kyle came out right away and sized up the job.  he was able to re-prioritize some work and he finished the job for me with super high quality and ahead of my aggressive schedule.   His workers quickly installed new windoiws and then framed in the remaining spaces.   They custom fabricated difficult to get siding shingles - on the job site.   They far exceeded my expectations at a very reasonable price.

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.

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.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.
