"We hired James to build our new deck and we are thrilled with the outcome. James is a highly skilled master carpenter paying attention to every detail. Our new deck is the sturdiest and nicest deck in the neighborhood! We would definitely hire him again for any project. He was present in our life for only a week while building our deck but now he is like family to us. We admire his work ethic and professionalism. Everyone that comes to our house admires our new deck!"

"Stuart was recommended by a neighbor for whom he did a bathroom remodel. We had several projects - finishing in a new room in our basement, adding a kitchen, remodeling a bathroom, and more. Once we saw the quality of his work we just kept asking for more. He replaced posts supporting a sunroom / porch. He repaired ceilings in other area of our home. His prices were fair, and he showed up when he said he would and finished the jobs efficiently. I've had some good contractors in the past but he is the best. My only reservation about leaving this review is that I am afraid if too many people find him he'll be too busy to continue to help me out! I am buying a new home and already I know of projects where he will be my first call. Skilled craftsmen are rare, and guys like Stuart are priceless because of the trust they build with their customers. If you hire him, you will not be disappointed."

"They did an excellent job building a screen room on my deck. The finished product looks great. I would rate straight 5's if communication was better but then it's difficult for contractors to respond quickly since they are on the job all day. I would definitely hire them again."

"All Brothers painting did an excellent job on the exterior of our house. Such professionals and very polite, arrived on time every day, cleaned up everyday. Replaced some of our wood siding, painted 3 colors on the house, plus painted our porches and deck floors and handicap ramp in cedar color. Back screened in sun porch with A frame ceilings. They primed the house with oil base paint first then sprayed and back brushed entire house. Highly recommend these pros. You won t be disappointed"

"Trevor and his team did a brilliant job with the renovations of the house that was not in good shape prior. He was communicative and available to chat at all times to provide updates. The attention to detail on all tasks is what impressed the most. He was flexing with his pricing and got the job done before estimated completion date. I would definitely use his services again."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

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.

Yes, using certified lumber and engineered wood products for reduced environmental impact.

Yes, professionals can install new frames, trim, and threshold adjustments for a complete finish.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.
