"Pat Webb and crew did an excellent job removing rotten wood trim around the windows of my 2-story house. They were attentive to keeping the workplace clean during and after work each day. They did a great job replacing the rotten wood trim with good quality cedar trim which was cut nicely to dimension for each window. They also replaced one piece of previously broken Hardiboard siding. Considering the amount of work done on ladders and standing on the sloped roof, the quality of their carpentry work and painting was very good. Pat communicated well with me in setting work days and hours and was prompt in sticking with those days & hours. Webb's final price was as originally quoted and I consider it a great value against another quote I received. I highly recommend Webb's Framing & Carpentry....and have already recommended Pat to a friend for a basement finish. Pat does quality workmanship !"

"The 450 sq ft back patio at my home was cracked and heaving in multiple places. It was pooling water toward our house, and we needed a complete demo and replacement. After researching just about every concrete company in the Colorado Springs area, I brought in four companies to provide bids and get their perspective on the project. I decided to go with Perea Bros because they offered a competitive bid for the job and seemed to really know their stuff. I was completely satisfied by their work and can wholeheartedly recommend them for concrete work. I would hire them again if I ever need other concrete work at my home. If you're like me, you take work on your house very seriously. I want courteous, competent professionals who create high-quality, long-lasting work. Gerardo and his crew walked me through the job and its various steps. They were communicative about their work dates and arrival times. (They often showed up early to get a head start on the project!) They treated my home and property with respect, taking as much care as possible to leave it better than they found it. They didn't leave trash or work detritus on my property even though the job spanned multiple days. They were kind and friendly during the work. I consider myself a pretty decent handyman and have done a lot of upgrades and repairs to the houses I've lived in. I even acted as the general contractor to the restoration of my previous 1925 home. I've reviewed bids and managed multiple work crews spanning: demolition, framing, roofing, drywall, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, boiler, finishing carpentry, and now concrete. I have easily evaluated more than 50 companies in these areas for the various jobs I have needed. I have worked with more than a dozen different sub-contractors in my tenure as a homeowner. Among all these, I would rate Perea Bros among the highest and best crews I've ever worked with. Here's the thing . . . concrete is not a sexy investment to make in your home. It's not a new kitchen or a remodeled master bath. But it can be pricey nonetheless. If you need major or minor concrete work, save yourself the trouble, time, and research I did to find the right company and just hire Perea Bros. You would think with this review I'm somehow getting kickbacks or something. But I just really appreciated Gerardo, his team, and their work. They helped improve my home at a competitive price with work I can trust for years to come. And they did it all with a smile and on-time. Again, if you choose to hire Perea Bros, you won't be disappointed. You might even wish you had more concrete to repair or replace!"

"I had Andy build me custom barn doors for my office. The project required longer doors and I wanted to match my bookshelves. He used the highest quality wood and got the doors perfect. These are not your basic Home Depot barn doors, they are heavy, solid doors, each a little over 100lbs. And the fact that he was able to match the bookshelves was amazing. He does a through and profession job. I would trust him with any carpentry work I may need in the future."

"Larry Emerson with Prepper Construction turned my nearly 30 year outdoor furniture from weathered to like new. Completed 15 pieces in one day, sanding off the rust and wear and adding the matte black finish. Quick response, fair estimate, delivered on his estimate, skilled for the task, friendly and answered all my questions. Highly recommend."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.

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.

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.

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.

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.
