"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."

"I recently moved to a condo. My closet doors kept getting stuck and needed work. My condo building maintenance team looked at the closets and told me the only way to solve the problem was to replace the closet doors. I did not know what to do. I located TORO CARPENTRY LLC on the BBB website. TORO CARPENTRY LLC - Jaime looked at the closet problem and found a solution without replacing the closet doors. Jaime’s Team did a great job and guaranteed the work. I am very happy withTORO CARPENTRY LLC and would recommend them to anyone."

"It is a pleasure to write a very positive review of the work done for me by Darko from Handyman Pros, based in Mundelein, IL. I engaged Handyman Pros to do 3 home maintenance jobs: repairing the attachment of some faux window shutters to the brickwork on the front of my house, repairing the portico around the front door, and repairing and repainting some partially rotted basement windows. Darko has an excellent knowledge of the way houses are constructed and how to repair them, as well as the wide variety of modern glues, caulks, paints and so forth that can be used to effect these repairs. He is also very personable and works hard. He has excellent carpentry and painting skills. On the last job, he put in a solid 12 hour day from 8 am to 8 pm to get the work completed in one day. Handyman Pros is an excellent resource for the homeowner. Highly recommended."

"I can't recommend these guys enough. During a time when it felt like it was impossible to find good help, Overall Builders came through. They got a great carpenter out who framed up a new interior doorway in a hall and installed the jamb and door. I've used them in the past and will do so again."

"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

Installing an ornamental or decorative porch column takes around three to five hours. Structural columns take longer because your pro has to install a jack to hold up the roof while switching the column out. If there's any structural damage, it can add several days to the timeline to repair the damage.

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.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.
