"This was the most pleasant experience I’ve ever had. They did custom picture frame moldings on a wall based on my drawings I had sketched on a napkin, and they did both stories of my home with crown molding. They were clean, kind, fair price, honest, and above all the work is flawless. I mean in any room, any floor, any corner I challenge you to find any flaw. Completely seamless. This is the guy for your project, so stop reading and call them!"

"Perfect. They did excellent work. Very professional and very clean as well. I don't think another carpenter could have done what needed to be done as well as Carlos did. I am extremely pleased."

"Anthony did a wonderful job putting new door fronts on our cabinets in the kitchen, laundry, room, and small bathroom. He was also able to install drawers where there used to be cabinets. He was very conscientious to make sure that I was happy with the door style that was chosen. The men who came in to do the installation were efficient and friendly. Anthony is excellent at communicating during the process and returns any calls very quickly. I’m very happy with the results and highly recommend Anthony’s custom remodeling."

"If I could give this team 10 stars, I would. I hired them to build a custom headboard from a picture I provided. From start to finish, the customer service has been a dream. This team is thorough, precise, consultative, creative and incredibly pleasant to work with. My husband mapped out the measurement specs for the headboard including a space at the bottom where we could feed our electrical wires. Although it was a bit of an unusual request (definitely more function vs form), the team nailed it. I couldnâ  t be more happy with the finished product. Thank you!!!!"

"Terry was the best carpenter / contractor I have ever hired for my apartment. It was immediatly obvious to me his superior work ethic. He was respectful, always on time, and excellent with follow-up. His work was very high quality, clean, with an eye for detail. His fee was more than fair, and the work was completed on time, and the clean-up was more than I have come to expect from other local contractors. I gave him every star available on the scale. I can't say enough with how pleased I was with Terry's work. Needless to say.... I highly recommend him!!"

"Angelo was hired to repair/replace drywall damage from a re-piping. His skills and service are truly impeccable, went above and beyond to help me put my house back together and the job is so well done you can't tell the walls and ceiling were patched. Angelo is also a very honest and genuine person, I would hire him again and intend to have him do some work on my mother's house."

"They were all polite worked together like a well oiled machine. I was amazed at how much they paid attention to detail and what a fantastic paint job they did. I had a couple of accent colors and my house looks picture perfect! I was also amazed how they cleaned up they vacuumed and mopped all the areas, I would definitely give them the highest mark and would be proud to recommend they to anyone."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

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.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

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.

Stick frames, metal frames, or prefabricated concrete frames are included in framing a house, along with creating the framework and space for windows, doors, and entryways. Other aspects of developing a home—like drywall, insulation, windows, doors, and more—are not included in the cost to frame a house.
