"Gary came to the rescue in a closet disaster. One of the closet rod supports had broken and pulled out of the wall in the main bedroom, threatening to dump the entre closet’s contents on the floor. The only place available to put the closet contents was on my beed which was needed for sleeping. Gary quickly made emergency repairs to hold the rod up for the weekend and was here bright and early Monday with the materials to make the fix permanent. I am confident that the rod supports will never give way again. His carpentry skills and painting skills are excellent. The finished product always looks very good and the manages to do any job without creating a mess. He cleans up what little dust and debris he makes and always leaves everything better than he found them."

"I was beyond amazed with Andy and his guys. When I say they went above and beyond I mean it. Andy made sure I was happy every step of the way and even trimmed some bushes that was not included on the price for me. I will use Andy again and recommend to all my friends."

"This is the third time we have used Chris for varied projects in our home from hanging pendant kitchen lights, building a closet and the latest project was the removal of a very large corner tub, redo the tile floor and restore and paint the walls. Not only does Chris do great work taking great measures to be very neat and clean but he also is spot on with his estimates. Thanks Chris for a job well done!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

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.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

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.
