"One of a Kind Carpenter was terrific. All the work was completed- even though we ran into some challenges, which they quickly resolved. I have an older house, and these were not anticipated with the job. I also added on to the project a few times, which they managed to do in a timely fashion, and the quality of work was impeccable. I would highly recommend him, and I will not use anyone else for my work now."

"Travis is my answer to my shrub trimming. He came on time and did an excellent job of trimming all our shrubs and cleaned up after. He also expanded our mulch area which had become overgrown."

"We had a bar built with no plans, just an idea in our heads. He was able to translate that into an excellent product, exactly as we envisioned. He kept in touch with us throughout the build, excellent communication skills. Delivered and set up as promised. I highly recommend Kyle as a carpenter and as a person. Honest and a caring professional."

"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."

"Bill said that since it was impossible to estimate the total cost until the demolition was complete but agreed to set a cap at $20,000. The work required demolishing the framing, jacking up the side of the roof in several places, tearing off all the siding and completing repairs. Bill had a crew of 2-3 people working daily for about 3 weeks. The house is better and more valuable. The communicated daily to keep us informed about the process, progression and costs. He came in under budget. There was no set completion time at the outset since the extent of damage was undetermined, but I was satisfied with the entire process. Bill is a great person to work with, honest and conscientious."

"These fellas were great! The Boss, Trevor, could not make it as his wife was giving birth to their very cute daughter, his brother Denim shared a photo. Congrats to the Couple. Denim and James were right on time and from the moment they arrived, they were all business, sticking an moving. They did a great job, and were dedicated to the task. They were very polite and respectful. As a Contractor for nearly 4 decades, their good work habits were well defined and demonstrated. They even used a specific grommeted fasteners I provided as being one for water tightness in the roof panels. Great job. Despite Trevors desire to be but inability to be onsite, and rightly so, his brother Denim and worker James, easily picked up and filled in for Trevors likely contribution to the end. They provided a 10% discount in recognition for my Military Service. GREAT JOB! Love the new shed!! Patrick Garvey, Investigative Paralegal & Veteran By my experience with this Company, you can r"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

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.
