"I contacted Thrifty Dee for a stair repair project for our rental property. We had a tight timeline due to a tenant moving in a couple of days. Dee was able to get to the property and assess the project within a couple of hours. He completed the job the very next day. His quality of work and attention to detail was phenomenal. His fee for the scope of work was more than fair. I will definitely use Thrifty Dee again for future projects as well as recommend him to anyone in need of a carpenter."

"Scott is a very dedicated, talented and customer pleasing man! He gladly came back and retouched the stain on the new front door he installed... 3 times! The door itself was expertly installed and his advice from the start was invaluable. Call him! You will be so glad you did...we are!"

"From the estimate through completion, Craig and his crew were amazing. He kept me involved and let me explain plans and worked with me to make it happen. They are beyond reasonable in pricing, efficient and clean when on site. My neighbors has work done based on their actions at my house. There's tons of companies that are fancy and play games, these guys don't. Do your self a favor and hire them."

"Our backyard needed a lot of work. We had an old rotting deck that was no longer safe. We hired ACO Capital for the entire project. Removal of old deck, pouring a new concrete pad for AC compressor, concrete walkway and extending the existing steps. We highly recommend Kevin and his team for any concrete work."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.

Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.
