"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."

"Deo went over and above with my project. I had ordered the countertops and sink. Once I had everything I let Deo know, and he came the next day. We had set up a tentative date earlier. So I was on the calendar. Any way the sink was to big and had to be reordered. He installed the counter tops. But had to wait on the sink. I live in Wisconsin and this project was at our winter home in Florida. I was heading back to Wisconsin on Thursday. The reorder was not going to arrive in time. Deo said no worries. He would pick up the sink and install it. The sink came in early. Called Deo he said he'd finish up what he was doing and come and install the sink. He did finished the job that evening and I flew to Wisconsin as planned the next morning."

"It was good. He worked part time. He participated quite a beat. He worked some days half day and some days he would take off to send his kids to school. We were prepared to deal with it. He was a very good carpenter. He was flexible. My wife wanted some custom and unusual things. He could understand what we needed and he did it. He was polite. He did a very good job."

"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

The cost to install a bow window can range from $1,500 to $15,000, with a national average of $3,900. The total price includes materials, which can cost between $1,200 and over $14,000, and labor, which typically adds $300 to $1,900. Several factors influence the final cost, including the window's size and frame material. For example, vinyl frames are the most budget-friendly option, while wood frames are more expensive. Custom features or energy-efficient upgrades will also increase the price. For comparison, a bay window installation typically costs between $1,000 and $7,000.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

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.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

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.
