"GS Painting is by far the ABSOLUTE BEST contractor I have ever hired in all my 50 years of home ownership! The company owner, Garry, not only demonstrated the highest standards of punctuality, knowledge, and skill, but he also exhibited a strong commitment to excellence in his meticulous attention to detail and his sheer talent in both carpentry and painting. He was extremely pleasant to work with, and he kept me informed about the work and his progress throughout every phase of the project. At 80 years of age I especially appreciated his respect for my precautions about the Covid pandemic, patiently honoring my request for communication through emails and texts in order to avoid face-to-face contact (when that would have obviously been an easier path for him to take). He went far beyond what most workers might have done in facing a 25-year-old home with multiple examples of untended wear-and-tear, each of which he diligently studied, identified the root cause, formulated a workable plan for correcting it, and accomplished a finished product that totally returned my home to its true market value. I simply cannot say enough positive comments about Garry’s workmanship to capture how pleased I am with the final result of his work. By all means I would not only hire him again but I would deliberately seek him out to do any job needed — my trust level in his skill is that great. Garry is a true craftsman who takes tremendous pride in his work. I am grateful to Angie’s List for connecting me with this dedicated and talented contractor. He is a definite asset to your service!"

"Outstanding! I could not be more pleased with the work done at my home. Joseph Pate is meticulous in his work ethic & craftsmanship. He does not make a mess & he does not leave a mess. Furthermore, he does not waste your money talking on his phone. He shows up on time every time. He is conscientious about his work and regularly checked in with me to make sure I was satisfied with the job as well. I will definitely be calling Joseph Pate again and I highly recommend for anyone needing home repairs, maintenance, landscaping, etc."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.

Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.
