"Jack responded with a quote the same day and completed the work the following day. Pricing was fair and was actually less than his original quote. Steps and new ramp look great and the rotted door frame is now solid."

"Chris and his team are the pros to call for any rebuild or remodel job. We cannot recommend them enough. They have done other work at our house as well, and we are always incredibly pleased. For this job, they came in and installed drywall and taped our new bathroom. They are always on time, take time to explain everything, and are super clean (you would never know there was a construction team in the house). When you hire integrity, you know the job will be done right. Cannot recommend them enough!!"

"Fabian was fabulous! He was professional, friendly and did everything with exceptional quality. You can tell right away that he is very thorough, detailed and takes great pride in his work. Fabian repaired all the rotted trim and the split and poor condition clapboards on my old house. I could not have been more pleased. He scraped off the moss from my roof and caulked areas. He did those extras just to make sure everything was done correctly. I will definitely hire him again."

"I’m very pleased with the service and work I received from Timber Wolf contractors and his crew. He contacted me and arranged a time to look at the work I needed done. He promptly sent me a quote. He set up a time between our schedules to build my spiral staircase and replace a window with a vent. He arrived on time and completed the job beyond my satisfacon. I was so pleased with the results and communication I received, that I hired them to come to my other home to install "Flooring for my sunroom, pantry and hallway. They also painted trim and upgraded my hardware on my kitchen cabinets. I felt very comfortable with Timber and left him a key so I could go to work. I highly recommend Timber Wolf contractors for your home projects, they are professional, polite and hardworking. Respectfully, A. Saint"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

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. 

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

Installing an ornamental or decorative porch column takes around three to five hours. Structural columns take longer because your pro has to install a jack to hold up the roof while switching the column out. If there's any structural damage, it can add several days to the timeline to repair the damage.
