"Overall I was pleased with the completed project (installation of wheelchair lift). Frank was professional and answered all my questions. I had obtained multiple estimates and Slip-Proof was comparable as well as economical in reference to many."

"Mitch and Spencer handled my tuck pointing job, which started out small but turned out to be large, professionally. They knew what the problem was with water infiltration and how to treat it. Their tuck-pointer did really great work on the stone and brick and rebuilding my rear stairs and he left the place spotless. I will definitely re-hire them for projects I have coming up."

"They completed the entire roofing project in two days time. However, the inside trim work around the skylights has been delayed for three weeks. The good thing is that I've held back a hefty amount of monies to finish paying off the project. I get there are delays based upon who does what type of specialty work. The carpenter is scheduled for next week Tuesday. We'll see."

"I had rainwater coming in through a door and window frame. Dario and Juan knew right away that the problem was coming from where my deck meets the siding. They removed deck boards to discover a gap in the siding. Checked for water damage (thankfully no damage). Sealed the gap. I have not had any rainwater issues since. Price was totally reasonable. We discussed other future repairs/projects for my home and I look forward to working with them again."

"BK carpenters, especially Ryan and Brian were outstanding! This is the 3rd project we've had done through Home Depot and BK Carpenters did all 3 of them, and each one was an outstanding job on their part. They are true craftsmen, excellent carpenters, respectful of my home, and they work efficiently and quickly. Thanks to the skill, hard work, and dedication to perfection on the part of BK Carpenters, I now have a new floor that looks great and reflects their talents."

"We hired Next Level Construction in 2020 to pour a cement patio, sidewalk and build a back porch. We were impressed with the workmanship and results. We called Mark in June, 2022 about a gut rehab of our Chicago Bungalow kitchen, originally built in 1913. All phases of the project went smoothly: design, demolition, carpentry, floor tile, countertops, appliance installation, plumbing and electricity. Each team of workmen were professional, skilled and considerate. We felt respected and confident that we were getting their best work. We had access to Mark and his project manager Jorge throughout. They responded quickly to our every question. We knew Next Level would do a good job but our expectations were exceeded on every level. I would highly recommend Next Level for exterior or interior work, The management is great and the workers are terrific!"

"Flaviu is a true master carpenter. Very meticulous in every step in the construction of my new stair wells. Very customer oriented. My entryway is now a show piece. During the construction I also came to know him as a friend. I would recommend him for any project you have."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

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.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

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.

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.
