"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!"

"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."

"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."

"A friend of mine recommended Kyle Behm to me when I was looking to hire someone to do some work on my new house (painting the entire interior, replacing the front door, installing gutters, and a few general repairs both inside and outside the house). We got quotes from both Kyle and one other company. His pricing was competitive, and his quote reflected that he had listened to and understood our needs. While the work was being scheduled and done, Kyle and his team were professional, hardworking, responsive and did an excellent, detail-oriented job on everything (for example, the stucco that they repaired around our front door matches the existing stucco so well you would never know it had been cracked). Kyle was also very patient with our many first-time-homeowner questions, worked with our schedule and met our move-in deadline even though he was super busy, and flexible when we made a few changes to the scope of the work along the way. We originally were going to have Kyle and his team do a bathroom remodel as well, but decided to wait and make a few other purchases first. We will definitely hire him again once we're ready to do that, and for any other work we end up needing done. Thank you Kyle!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.

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.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

It's possible to turn your carport into a living space, but there are additional factors to address over turning it into a garage. HVAC, plumbing, and electricity won't be optional, and you'll need finished flooring, drywall, trim work, and legal ceiling height, for starters. Also, keep in mind that living space conversions may require upgrading the foundation underneath, and the permits might be more expensive as well.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors.
