"Rob Grafe was excellent, very knowledgably, quote was very competitive, never asked for any money upfront or deposit. He took on a job another contractor never finished. His carpenter did an amazing job, no corners were cut. I would highly recommend Rob Grafe for any outside home project and will defiantly keep him on my contact list for future projects."

"My husband and I wanted to do some much needed home improvements. I visited Angi.com and typed in my construction needs: we wanted to replace our rotting upper deck. I interviewed 3 different companies and selected on A.D.A. Construction and Erin Lopez for my team. From the moment the project started, his construction crew never stopped moving. Erin really listened to what I needed to have done. He was professional and courteous. They showed up on time and worked hard in this Georgia heat. While they were here, I asked for a quote on a second project. He gave me a quote on the spot, which was in my budget. Erin was able to work both projects simultaneously. I now have a beautiful front porch and a beautiful upper deck all thanks to A.D.A Construction, Erin Lopez and Samuel. I would give them a 10 if that were an option. I will definitely call on Erin for any future projects."

"Mack and his crew did an exceptional job on my screened porch build. We had an existing deck that he built a roof for and also screened the upper and lower deck area. I would not hesitate to hire them again, In fact I have already reached out to them again for some interior work. They also did a job for my parents and did a great job as well. To sum up my experience they were on time, had good communication, delivered quality work, and had fair pricing."

"Omg, I went through sooo many ppl who did not know what they were doing and finally I got the true pros!!! They had to do so much to make my drop in stove fit in the space! They came prepared and ready to work! With each issue that came up I said *oh do you all have to come back*, they said nope! We have it in the truck. They had to cut some of the countertop, build a platform, rebuild the bottom front part of the countertop bxc the last person messed it up. When I say Start to Finish was my saving grace! Thank you sooo much! They will be my new handyman/home improvement! I forgot to mention they were a little early, which in my book is on time but since everyone was always super late I just figured they would be too but nope! They are amazing!"

Carpentry FAQs, 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.

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.

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.

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. 

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.
