"Eric came over to look at the job and determine what parts were needed and the vendor to use. He ordered the necessary materials, set a date to do the work. He arrived on time ready to work. There was quite a bit of manipulation of the railings to get them to fit. He kept until they were finished. Good work, very polite. Cleaned up work space before he left."

"Stuart Allum is the only contractor we use for home repair projects. When our basement flooded, we had to tear out all of the damaged walls from the floor to the chair rail. Stuart came to the rescue and replaced studs, sheet rock, molding, bead board and chair rail and then painted so that the basement looked brand new! He even came back to install shoe mold to finish our new flooring. Stuart is an excellent craftsman and completes jobs quickly. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to family and friends."

"We had an excellent experience with K&W Construction for our deck project. From the first consultation to the final walkthrough, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. They helped us with the design, explained our options clearly, and stayed on schedule throughout the entire process. The workmanship is outstanding—every detail was done with care and precision. The crew kept the job site clean and treated our home with respect. Our new deck is beautiful, solid, and exactly what we wanted. We’ve already received countless compliments on it! If you’re looking for a dependable, skilled construction company for a deck or any outdoor project, we highly recommend K&W Construction. We would absolutely use them again."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.

A few signs that you need a new door frame include:

  • The door no longer fits properly in its frame and sticks or scrapes.

  • You notice cracks, holes, or rotting.

  • You feel a draft coming from around the door when it’s closed.

  • You find yourself frequently needing to make repairs.

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.
