"Kurt showed up on time and installed a shower door for my new Shower! He was very professional and kind with a very low cost to perform work that other carpenters turned down! He was very thorough and professional! I was so fortunate and lucky to have such a professional help me on this install when so many turned the task down! He cleaned up the area and spent sometime assisting me on another project in near future! I highly recommend Kurt to anyone who requires a job completed to Professional done with amazing expertise and very reasonable price! Thank you Sir! Leo USN RET"

"I was very happy with the work Bryan did to repair some rotted stairs at the back of my house. First, he was on time… friendly and professional. He was efficient, thorough and neat with the work. Before I knew it rotted wooden stairs were repaired and all work debris was cleaned up. He clearly knew what he was doing because the stairs looked better than they were originally done! He did an excellent job and I would definitely recommend him and hire him again."

He and his crew were very accommodating working with the delivery time to get the job done on our schedule. Everything looks great and, his crew were so hard working and respectful to my wife and I. His pricing was very fair as well. I would totally hire again."

"David Gilbert Exteriors took down, extended and rebuilt decking at our beach house which is built up on pilings . His workers were excellent and the finished project is fabulous. We have had many compliments from neighbors and friends. The cost was a little more than we were expecting to pay, but as the adage goesâ ¦ â you get what you pay forâ . Great customer service and very pleased with the result."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.
