"We had our deck redone and couldn’t be happier with how it turned out! The finished product looks amazing, and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. The attention to detail and quality of work really exceeded our expectations. Our deck looks like a completely new space! We highly recommend them to anyone looking to have their deck redone. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"Jose was a very skilled carpenter and all around handyman. I used him for a multitude of needed projects and was happy with all his work. He repaired squeaky stairs, exterior window moldings, all of my interior window frames that needed repair, reattached my front step blue stone, repaired my front porch posts so water did not rot the wood, fixed my gate so it opened and closed without effort, and repaired my garage door frame. so would not be damaged by rain. I am very very happy with his efforts. In addition to being a skilled carpenter, he is a gentleman. I will be using him in the future for sure."

"We purchased an older home and after living in it for a couple of months discovered a few issues in the attic and on the outside of the house that needed to be addressed. We also wanted to add additional interior lighting in three bedrooms and replace light fixtures on the outside of the home. Jeremy, from Grandview Construction, professionally addressed all our concerns regarding the necessary repairs to the house. He gave us an honest opinion on what needed to be handled and what steps needed to be taken to correct the issues. Because of Jeremyâ s home construction knowledge and carpentry skills, we were able to address the issues with the house along with making the improvements we were looking for at the same time. After working with Grandview Construction, on our house, I can say with full confidence that I would recommend their services. Grandview showed honesty, integrity, and professionalism in their work. Plus, the improvements they completed to our house turned out fantastic."

"Owner, Memo, contacted us within an hour of inquiry. We had a bid almost immediately. We accepted the bid and set the install date within hours of initial contact. We had to replace our closet floor due to a neighbors leak, in our high rise building. After that, Memo sent me some suggestions for what type of products to order at Menards, for the job. I placed the order and he picked it up on day of install. He and another guy arrived on time and immediately went to work. They cleaned up after they were done, and were out the door within a couple hours. Memo answers all of my questions within minutes when I emailed him. He was a pleasure to work with and professional. Would absolutely recommend hiring them!"

"

We are thrilled with the results.  The design has given us ample space to fit our needs, the product is high quality, the cost was very competitive, and it was installed without any issues whatsoever.  Both the designer and installer were on time, very experienced, polite, and thorough.  We could not have asked for more.

Carpentry FAQs, 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. 

Traditionally, bungalows are single-story homes, although having a half or partial story on top of the first floor is common. While adding a second story to a bungalow is certainly possible, the home would no longer be considered a bungalow by the strictest definition.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.
