"Osmans Carpentry is excellent. Val came to the site and gave a very fair estimate of the work and the price. Communication is excellent. Flo is a very talented carpenter and installed a new 16 foot wood banister to the lower level. He also repaired a number of the stair balusters, fixing them in position very nicely. Super efficient worker who is very talented. Would hire them again without hesitation."

"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."

"I met Frank Mannella on a Saturday morning to receive a quote. My first observation was that he was on time. Secondly, he was very personable and direct in inspecting the project in question and provided a quote, which included materials and labor. We set a date for the job to be completed and he called to confirm the start date. On the day of the project, Frank arrived right within the time frame given and went straight to work. Mr. Mannella and his assistant worked continuously until the project was done. Upon completion, I inspected the work and could not be more pleased. I would likely re-hire him for other handyman projects."

"So thrilled with my new mudroom lockers! Our designer, Rich, really listened to my wish list, looked at all the pictures I showed him, and asked questions I hadn’t even thought of to make sure he was incorporating everything into his designs. He was very responsive via emails and answered all of my questions and changes. Their quote was also the most affordable and reasonable compared to the three other companies I was exploring. Fast forward two weeks to the actual installation day and Justin came right on time, fully prepared to install the lockers and did a phenomenal job! He was very nice, respectful of our home, and quietly went about building the lockers. He made a few changes on the fly at my request and I was blown away by his willing to accommodate some last minute changes. Very impressed with Closet Organizing System, HIGHLY recommend them, and will definitely use them again!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

Stick frames, metal frames, or prefabricated concrete frames are included in framing a house, along with creating the framework and space for windows, doors, and entryways. Other aspects of developing a home—like drywall, insulation, windows, doors, and more—are not included in the cost to frame a house.
