"I was very pleased with the carpentry work Kurt did in the wood siding of my house. He replaced a whole section of cedar siding and replace various rotting siding. He installed a frieze board and fixed some rotten siding on a dormer along with other various siding and window trims work The quality of work was excellent and very professional Good quality craftmanship and high work ethics coupled with good communication and very friendly. He provides good advise on what to do and always putting the customer first. He is one of the best carpentry contractor and I definitely recommend him and will call him again for all my future carpentry siding work."

"They did such a wonderful job on our 400+ square foot deck. They showed up on time every day and had it done in under a week. When they ran into unexpected problems that required additional materials, we were alerted right away. Highly recommend for any budget your family has"

"Gove Restoration recently completed a number of projects for us—painting the exterior of our 1920s-era house, replacing the garage roof, installing new gutters, carpentry to replace rotted trim, rotted shingles, and rotted shutters—and we couldn’t be happier. They were professional from start to finish, straightforward about issues as they arose, and conveyed a genuine appreciation for preserving the look of an older home. The work ethic of everyone, but especially the painters, was truly impressive, as was the attention to detail. We have received many compliments on their work from neighbors and passersby!"

"Agile Construction was very professional. They asked what needed to get done and then came in and executed it flawlessly. They were able to answer my questions and explained the work and their methodology. They came to repair my window sill. And it looks way better than before."

"They did an excellent job fixing multiple holes in the walls. They handled the job very professionally and with care. They covered the floor and furniture and spent extra time cleaning after the job was done. I highly recommend them."

"Fantastic Service! I can't say enough about this great company. Our house was a dull brown, the wood was rotting in many places and had carpenter ants, carpenter bees, and some of the slats were falling off. Now our home is a beautiful midnight blue with stunning white trim! I can't believe the transformation! These guys did a great job. Jeremy went above and beyond to find us a great deal on a front door and worked with our timing to complete the whole siding project. When they working on the south side of my house, they discovered that one of my windows was rotted out. Jeremy made several calls and was able to locate a replacement that day. Jeremy knew we were on a tight budget, so he worked us to find a solution to fit our home while still using a high-quality product. The workers were fast, efficient, and professional. I couldn't believe how they were willing to work in frigid temperatures to complete the project in a timely manner. We are extremely pleased with the results. Though the prices seemed higher at first than some of the bids we received, we recognized the true value of what we were getting. In the end, Jeremys prices were comparable to some of the quotes we got that were for a lower quality product."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The cost to frame a 2,000-square-foot house can fall anywhere between $14,000 and $32,000. This price can increase or decrease depending on what type of framing you choose, the quality of the materials, the project's complexity, and whether you decide to hire a professional to do the job.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

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.
