"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."

"We originally contacted Brian to measure, source and install window treatments on some skylights and windows, and when we found out he's a renaissance man, we asked him to do many other jobs for us as well--carpentry, electric, plumbing, labor & assembly, you name it. He's a consummate professional, easy to communicate with, and a pleasure to work with. He's such a nice guy I even invited him to stay for dinner one evening after he finished working. I'm not sure at this point what Brian can't do, but I'd trust him to tell me if something I asked for was beyond his wide ranging capabilities. We will absolutely hire Brian again and again and continue to refer him to friends in the future. The only challenge is that his schedule books up since he's highly in demand, so contact him sooner rather than later.
Some of Brian's work for us has included:
  • - Full-service window treatments for skylights and windows--we love them, and Brian's advice was helpful
- Repair of a slatted blind that Brian told us didn't really need replacing after all
- Selection and installation of a new blind to match others next to it--looks great
- Installation and assembly of 2 ceiling light fixtures. We didn't have the right part for hanging one from a vaulted ceiling, and Brian made sure to get one for us that fit the aesthetic perfectly. No corner cutting.
- Hanging pictures and heavy shelves
- Plumbing help with 2 leaky refrigerators
- Disassembly, strongman labor, and reassembly of a large piece of exercise equipment in another room in the house
- Window replacement
- Installation of a cat door through a sheetrock wall
- Installation of a track for a pocket door
- Installation of dimmer switches
- Assembly and installation of a large closet system
...etc. We've been happy with the results of all these projects--and all the rest that I can't remember at the moment.

"We had a great experience with Arnold's Masonry. After interviewing several local masons, we chose Arnold to build a concrete sidewalk from our front steps to our driveway. We hired Arnold for his obvious knowledge, expertise, and experience. There was excellent communication and customer service throughout the process. We love our new sidewalk, and we highly recommend Arnold's Masonry!"

"What an incredible experience. Contacted them for siding consult, Chris from sales was very knowledgeable and easy to talk with. Gave us great recommendations for the design. We signed up and wow the siding was here in less than 10 days. The installers, Led by Daniel were incredible. They were courteous, friendly, neat and they were fast! You could see pride of work as they were doing the project. They were also on time each day, were there when they said they would be. AJ our project manager was awesome as well..Communicated frequently so we always knew what to expect. We are thrilled with our new home, siding is beautiful, this team is stellar! If we could give a 100 rating we would!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.

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.

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.

It's possible to turn your carport into a living space, but there are additional factors to address over turning it into a garage. HVAC, plumbing, and electricity won't be optional, and you'll need finished flooring, drywall, trim work, and legal ceiling height, for starters. Also, keep in mind that living space conversions may require upgrading the foundation underneath, and the permits might be more expensive as well.
