"Pat replaced our deck, replaced the balusters for the stairs going to our basement, and did some drywall repairs for us. Pat and Mike are professionals in the best sense of the term. From start to finish the work was excellent and well priced. Definitely a five star company and our go to guys in the future."

"I had Ryan come out to do some baseboards and trim, and ended up hiring him for four other projects along the way! He was polite, punctual, and professional. He did amazing work and offered suggestions for how to make the jobs even better. I would absolutely hire him again!"

"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

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

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. 

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.
