"Fred LaMarre may be the best finish carpenter that I've ever used, and his crew is equally meticulous and exacting. I had spent nearly four hundred dollars on having some ostentatious, oversized corner blocks custom fashioned from northern California. Although I was hell-bent on using them, Fred gently talked me off of the ledge by convincing me that they were simply too ornate for the style of our home-- which tuned out to be an excellent call. We had nearly 500 linear feet of M45 five-and-a-quarter inch crown; Fred cut and coped it with absolute precision, after which his team caulked & painted it without issue (including the "great room" with its sixteen-foot ceilings.) I would recommend Ri-Tan, without reservation, to anyone desiring high-quality finish carpentry."

"The contractors from Handyman by Henderson were prompt, courteous, knowledgable craftsmen, who paid attention to minor details when finishing the job. They did an excellent job in changing out our old wood and replacing the dormer with vapor barrier protection and hardyboard."

"Apex Paint and Repair did an amazing job on a few jobs I had around the house. They not only did it in a timely and orderly fashion, but they were also very polite and attentive while doing their job. They cleaned up each day after working and never left anything a mess. They also are very fair on their prices. I will be using them again for any other jobs that I will need done around the house and suggesting them to my neighbors. Thank you again guys!"

"Roman Empire Builders i found here and i seen his reviews and decided to call for some estimates. We own 3 properties one that we had to evict someone and we kept getting some very high unreasonably seeming prices and couldn't find great references from some guys, but every reference we got from Roman was nothing but he's the best he does any kind of work that you throw at him so he came by we told him if the price we get on our first house looks good and the price is right I have two other houses that need a few things done. So first job we had him and his sons rebuild our second story deck that a tree had slammed into from hurricane Helena and he not only did he build it perfectly to Code but he painted it for us for only a extra $150 which was so kind. So I gave him a remodle I needed done from a recent eviction that the sub floor was out of wack and his 2 son's worked nonstop the laminate the drywall and texture and floor all perfect. Worth every penny 100% best guy on here for s"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

Traditionally, bungalows are single-story homes, although having a half or partial story on top of the first floor is common. While adding a second story to a bungalow is certainly possible, the home would no longer be considered a bungalow by the strictest definition.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.
