"Very reliable...did what we expected & in the time frame. We are pleased with their work. We just moved to this area and did not know any trade people in this area and so glad to meet. I was concerned because of the company's name I.e, "Carpentry" but was not an issue after we saw their work. Will considered Nunes Carpentry for other jobs."

He is an excellent finish carpenter and dependable. He arrived when he said he would and worked diligently to get the job finished promptly. We would highly recommend him."

"John was prompt on call back and appointment to give estimate.  He impressed us so much that we didn't  interview the other vendors we had lined up for estimates.
On time for job start-SKILLED CRAFTSMAN-attention to detail was amazing-neat-clean-respectful of our home
He's creative, takes a great deal of pride in his work and was a pleasure to work with.
His paint team, Karol & Alex have the same work ethic and skills-very professional, neat, clean and on time.
Would highly recommend BJ Trim Carpentry Inc.

"Tim was an absolute pleasure to work with. He is a true craftsman and incredibly skilled. He took time to understand my vision and exceeded my expectations with the results. He is extremely neat, detailed and talented. Not to mention he is kind and patient. He is trustworthy and always on time. He is very passionate about his craft and takes great pride in doing a perfect job. He is fun to collaborate with and I felt very confident in trusting him to make some artistic decisions. The mantle he made for the fireplace is absolutely beautiful. I really lucked out finding Tim and Smith Woodworking. I strongly recommend him."

"He did an excellent job renovating my primary and the guest bathrooms. He gave me a reasonable estimate and he also gave a time frame from start to end and did the job within that time frame. I got 3 estimates from 3 different handymen but I am glad I hired Palma’s Handyman Pro. The bathrooms look great. He truly is a professional and easy to communicate with. I definitely recommend him."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.

The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.

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.

The cost to install a bow window can range from $1,500 to $15,000, with a national average of $3,900. The total price includes materials, which can cost between $1,200 and over $14,000, and labor, which typically adds $300 to $1,900. Several factors influence the final cost, including the window's size and frame material. For example, vinyl frames are the most budget-friendly option, while wood frames are more expensive. Custom features or energy-efficient upgrades will also increase the price. For comparison, a bay window installation typically costs between $1,000 and $7,000.
