"Matt does excellent work, is a true professional and an overall great guy! I'm a contractor and have worked with many carpenters and cabinet installers over the years. I can say working with Matt is a pleasure and the quality of his work is meticulous. Some of the cabinets I received for this project were the wrong size. Matt was very flexible and went the extra mile to finish the install as soon as the correct cabinets were delivered. He also installed wainscoting for me in a difficult bathroom and the finished product was fantastic. I highly recommend Matt to anyone looking for high quality finish carpentry work."

"After our neighbor’s recommendation we hired D & D Tree Service & Landscape to build a fence for our backyard. We are extremely pleased with their work and the company. Everyone was extremely efficient and professional. Our new fence is beautiful. We have also decided to hire them to install a sprinkler system and sod in the backyard."

"I needed a new front storm door. Cesar arrived on time to do the estimate and we agreed that I would buy the door of my choice at Home Depot and he would pick it up his team would install it. They came on time and had the old door down (which they hauled away) and the new door up in less than two hours. Very good job competently done. Thank you Cesar and Antonio!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.
