"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."

"Very happy with the results of our deck! Eagle Fence was very professional and knowledgeable about the work needing to be done. They added the deck to our existing screened in porch and also installed the solar lights for us. It was completed in a timely manner and they cleaned up all materials, trash, etc. Definitely a great addition for our family during summer time!"

"Great company! We had a bathroom remodel done to our master bathroom. Mack and his crew were phenomenal with the remodel. Great quality carpentry work along with great tile work. We converted our garden tub and shower to a walk in shower. They pay great attention to detail also. The price we were quoted was what we paid. Again, great company. We will definitely be using them in the future. Contact them directly +1 (706) 715-0439 - Juri"

Customers say: Quality work

"I have used Home Advisor for several projects lately and have been satisfied with the work from other pros. Gerard Kaizer was by far the best I have come across. He gave me expert advice and knew right away that my 20 year old siding was not done correctly on one side of the house. He scheduled the repair, showed up on time and did extra repairs without charging me extra. The siding finally looks straight and is very secure now after all these years. My wife and I are so happy with the work he did. Cleaned up after the job and I could not be happier with their work. He is busy but if you can get him to do your project Do It!. He really knows Quality work."

"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"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

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.

You can enclose an open carport, however, there are several things to consider before opting to do so. You'll want to check local building codes and permit requirements before proceeding to make sure it’s legal. While you can sometimes stick-frame a carport enclosure, pre-fab kits are also available. Remember that you'll likely need to meet concrete slab regulations and provide lighting inside the structure. Both of which could substantially drive up costs.
