"Extremely meticulous in all aspects of the stair project. I’m pretty handy around the house but I could never have come close to Dave’s expert carpentry skills. My steps are a definite focal point in my house now. Very pleasant personality and worked long hours to make sure we were satisfied with the finished stair case. He also gave me some helpful pointers while I was staining the treads. Dave offered to do them with the project but I did them myself. Stair doctor is worth every penny!!"

"Tim and Crystal were both great to work with. They showed up on time every time, made commitments and lived up to those commitments. We had problems with our old door while waiting on the delivery of the custom order door and Tim came out and did a temporary repair without charging anything. When the door came in he moved up the date for the install. I highly recommend using them for any garage door repair or replacement."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

You can enclose an open carport, however, there are several things to consider before opting to do so. You'll want to check local building codes and permit requirements before proceeding to make sure it’s legal. While you can sometimes stick-frame a carport enclosure, pre-fab kits are also available. Remember that you'll likely need to meet concrete slab regulations and provide lighting inside the structure. Both of which could substantially drive up costs.

Yes, most services include necessary frame modifications for proper door fitting. Confirm with your provider.

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.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.
