I am a 3rd generation carpenter. I have had the privilege of having all the knowledge of my father and grandfather being handed down to me. In addition to that, I have 15 years of personal carpentry experience. I am skilled in residential and commercial finish carpentry. I have the training, the skills, and the tools to get the job done and done right! A satisfied customer is my top priority! Take a look at some of the pictures of work that I have done. Feel free to contact me at anytime. Thank you and I look forward to working with you on your next home improvement project. -Ken

"Ken is highly skilled at what he does and has a pleasant demeanor. I would have given him five stars if he had accomplished the full scope of the work. He finished two thirds of the project on one side of our laundry room but not the shoe rack part on the other side of the laundry room. At that stage, he owed me money which he refunded after some argument. Will I recommend Ken? Yes, but make sure that you both agree on timing of completion and also prompt refund of deposit if the job scope of project is reduced for any reason or disputed."

Above all, we are watchful of our customers' interests, and make their concerns the basis of our business.

"Chris is a breath of fresh air in the construction/carpentry world! I currently have multiple projects happening simultaneously at my home, and Chris was by far the fastest and most professional person/company that I hired. Chris is all business - a do-er, I didn't even bother calling the other people on my list after meeting him. There is no BS, he does what he says, he shows up when he says he will, and he has a great team. I told him what I was looking for, he gave me his professional opinion/advice, and then executed. And best of all, our project turned out even better than I hoped. We closed in our dining room to convert it in to an office. Chris and Keith squared off the opening and installed new french doors, and put a beautiful window casing on the window in the room (which is the largest window in our home). They didn't miss a thing - the wall texture, paint, molding, floorboards, it all looks incredible. I will not hesitate to reach out again for our next project! "

"Taylor will be my go to handyman! First, I had a leak in my Florida Sun Room that has a metal roof. He identified the problem and solved it! A lot of rusty screws that needed to be replaced and caulking to be done! He hung a 65 inch tv perfectly on my wall, no cords showing and had it done in no time and left no mess to clean up! I have two windows that are leaking very bad! He replaced the flashing around the windows to help prevent any further water intrusion as we wait for the windows to arrive so that he can install them. He is very polite, easy to talk to, has great solutions for problems and is well versed in what he does! We will definitely hire him again!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

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.

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.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.
