"Excellent craftsmanship but be flexible. We hired Andrew to build us new stairs for our front porch: only three steps with railing to match the porch and to add boards to seal up the open gap leading under the porch. The work was completed in a couple days and everything came out great. While here he was courteous and friendly, and provided us good advice about the wood before we went to painting it ourselves. There were some delays during the work, but we weren't in a rush. It was also around Thanksgiving. The communication could have been a little better, but it was not show-stopper. Life gets in the way for all of us. I'm glad he shared photos of his deck work and like reading the other positive reviews, because our deck is probably the next big project for the house."

"Mike and his team build a structure to hold our electric fireplace on a wall that is 18ft tall. The work is amazing. They did crown moldings, kitchen backslash and painted the whole house!"

"I can’t say enough on how happy I am with my new kitchen drawers. The house was built in 1960 and all the cabinets are made of solid wood accept the drawers. He built new drawers with the soft close. And also put the shelves for me to just pull out for my pots. They did great job and as for me I will give them a 5 star. Not to mention how professional he was. Looking now to get my kitchen cabinets painted. The price was better than anyone else I received estimates from."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

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.

Bow windows need support because they are large and extend out from the exterior wall of the home. Bow windows may extend 1 foot to several feet from the outside of the home, so you’ll need to provide additional support to handle this weight. A window contractor will be able to provide the proper amount of support for your new bow window.

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.
