"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."

"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!!!!"

"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

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.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

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.
