"James is a highly skilled carpenter. He has a tremendous work ethic and demonstrated integrity and professionalism. He quickly understood our project which was to build a small deck in front of a new shed with ramp and step access and a bridge over a dry creek. We are very satisfied with all aspects of his work."

"Our experience with Home Improvement Masters was outstanding! Mr Craig and his team did an amazing job adding the addition to our home. He was also able to get our entire roof replaced through an insurance claim and we were able to get a brand new roof. We upgraded from a builders grade three tab shingle to a more appealing architectural shingle, as well as replace a few of the gutters. Also the crew did an amazing job with cleaning up the work site after they were finished and left everything immaculate. We highly recommend Home Improvement Masters and would be willing to provide a reference to anyone looking for a reputable contractor. Thank you Mr. Craig!"

"Mr. Handyman of Canton and Woodstock has provided me with literally thousands of dollars of work over the last couple of months, ranging from cabinet building/repairing, painting, plumbing (removing and installing new vanities in bathrooms), drywall repair, installing new light fixtures, carpentry work (cutting and installing wainscoting/judges panels), and even installing suspended storage racks in my garage. The quality of their work is outstanding, with the form, fit and finish at the highest level. For that reason, I keep going back to them over and over again to complete my next list of "honey-do" projects. I am particularly impressed with Rick Grooms, whose skills and experience across all the "trades" are at the craftsman level. Moreover, Rick is a pleasure to work with in that he has a very pleasant and warm personality, a professional attitude, and a customer-focused desire to please his clients. I would very strongly recommend Mr. Handyman of Canton and Woodstock!"

"We cannot give enough praise to the extraordinary team at Deck Yeah. Unfortunately we had a bad experience with another contractor who started the project, however left our house in shambles with work being out of code. Deck Yeah took over a job that many contractors would not and helped put our home back together building the deck of our dreams. They are true craftsmen with impeccable attention to detail as illustrated by their incredible trim work. The owner remained on the job site each day, even coming in on weekends to ensure exceptional quality work and provided consistent updates. Unlike other decking companies who would only provide referrals, Deck Yeah managed all add ons including outdoor kitchen, underdecking, and patio flagstone build out. We highly recommend their work and are now able to safely enjoy our back deck with no stress of being unsafe."

"I am THRILLED......to meet Allen and crew. Very thorough, neat, picked up all materials. Very professional and explained what they were doing. I told him, will call him again. Husband and I are elderly. We need someone we can depend on. I need 3 more fans installed, that will require them putting a piece of wood in attic - to attach the fans to. Love these newly built homes."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

If you remove a load-bearing wall to create an entrance to a carport or covered patio, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,500, with an average cost of $6,400. Factors such as the type of addition and if that area needs additional work will add to the price.

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.

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.

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.
