"Master MCG was unable to do the job until April .However, Master MCG did me a huge favor when I asked if he could please refer me to another carpenter. He referred me to Jesse Miranda of Artistic Wood, LLC who was able to take on the job immediately, and he brought in a second carpenter (Joe Yost) and they did an excellent job, for a reasonable price. Jesse was also very good at finding solutions and tweaking things to work/fit, etc. I would hire both Master MCG and Jesse (and Joe) again."

"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."

"This project was handled perfectly by the contractor (Larry) from the beginning to end starting with detailed phone conversations, then onsite estimates and of course the actual and timely completion of the job. I was fortunate to have found this contractor who is qualified for most, if not all, large and small home improvement projects."

"Excellent work! Jamen gave me a good estimate and did the work a few days later. He installed a light fixture, rehung a door, installed baseboards and a wall hanging. He was careful, thorough, and did excellent work. Would certainly hire him again."

"I first hired Daniel and his team to scrape my front yard to get it ready for spring planting, and to plant four new trees. They did such a good job, I was thrilled to hire them right away to build a new retaining wall in my 100-year old house basement. They worked within the timeframe I needed them to, as I also was working with another company to replace my furnace. The wall came out better than I could have imagined! When I had some leakage problems with my sprinkler system, they came and worked on that, as well as replaced an old valve. They went above and beyond on my multiple projects. Daniel and his team are pros! I highly recommend them and look forward to using their services again! Thank you D&D!"

"I have been a landlord in Highlands Ranch, Colorado for over 20 years. I have worked with a lot of professionals and handyman throughout those years. Tim is just an incredible professional. I had him install 2 chandeliers in my home (one even 20 feet tall) and he had it all done in 3 hours including the time to rent a large latter to reach the ceiling. His work is top notch and he is just so easy to work with. He has earned all my future renovation and repair work. Thank you Tim for all your hard work! You are awesome!"

"Travis is conscientious and works hard. He also helped us by referring flooring contractors and even a mud-jacking pro. Each were excellent at their work as well.Travis gets the job done when he says he will, and it often is better than he said it would turn out."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

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.

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.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.
