"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."

"I needed some help with dry rot around the windows in my 35 year old house. Most of those who responded to my online inquiry only wanted to sell new windows. At least one wanted to replace perfectly good double picture windows. Home Improvement Masters (HIM) was the first respond to my search inquiry that had a solution which did not require replacing windows that were perfectly good. When I received HIMâ s proposal I was a bit stunned at the level of thoroughness in the proposal and, frankly, the price. But the customer reviews I found were excellent and, after talking with the owner, I ultimately decided to go with HIM. I was not disappointed. Not only did HIM repair frames around most of my windows they found several other dry rot and maintenance issues and fixed them. HIMâ s workmanship was excellent. They were hard working, diligent, on time, and extremely neat. They listened to my needs and were very cooperative in making adjustments as the work proceeded. The bottom line for all the work saved me about 40% below the cost two other bids I received for window replacements only. Needless to say it was worth every penny I paid them. I fully expect to use HIM again and I would not hesitate to recommend HIM to anyone."

"I just moved a week ago and the movers I hired damaged my bed frame significantly. I found Tony through Angi. He showed up on time and fixed my bed frame in under an hour. Exceptional work....very professional and friendly. I would definitely use his services again and would recommend him to friends or strangers."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Matt for the installation of an open staircase in my newly remodeled home, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results! From the very beginning, Matt demonstrated exceptional professionalism and expertise. He took the time to understand my vision and offered valuable insights that helped refine the design. His attention to detail was evident throughout the entire process, from the initial consultation to the final installation. The craftsmanship of the staircase is truly outstanding. The materials used are of the highest quality, and the finished product has transformed my space into a stunning focal point. I’ve received numerous compliments from friends and family, as I couldn’t wait to show it off! What I appreciated most was Matt’s commitment to customer satisfaction. He was always responsive to my questions and concerns, and worked diligently to ensure that everything was completed with utmost excellence. His professionalism and friendly demeanor made the entire experience enjoyable. I highly recommend Matt and his woodworking skills to anyone looking for top-notch craftsmanship and a seamless installation process. I am beyond satisfied with my new staircase and look forward to working with him again on future projects!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

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.

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.
