"Flo arrived on time as scheduled for the project. All necessary supplies were on hand. He and his associate worked smoothly together. The project consisted of replacing 11 steps and risers and all stair trim. Flo completed the carpentry part in one day. His painters came the next day and applied 2 coats of paint. The porch looks great. The project price was fair and competitive. Not only are we 100% satisfied with Osman Carpentry, but we are scheduled to have them complete another 3 projects for us and probably a 4th project after that. You will be glad you hired them. It was a pleasure doing business with them."

"Andrew did a great job in removing and installing three interior door frames, doors and casing. He explained everything that he was going to be doing pre job start and answered my questions along the way. When he was finished the installed doors/frames and casings looked great and he cleaned the work areas very well. I would recommend him highly for quotes and work"

"We have had them do several jobs over the years from building a deck, to installing doors, outdoor lights and exterior painting. We have been extremely happy with anything they have worked on. We will be calling them for more projects in the future. We highly recommend them."

"If you ever need a carpenter to make your dream project come to life, hire Larson Custom Finishing. Joe was extremely collaborative with helping us plan the design for our fireplace mantel and built in shelving. During installation they were polite and efficient - leaving our family room cleaner than they found it. We will DEFINATELY be using Larson for future projects."

This was one of the most positive experiences we have ever had with a contractor.  Within one day of contacting Closet Organizing System via email we received a callback.  We explained what our goal was and what we were interested in pursuing.  We then received a very prompt call from the Designer, Rich, who set up an appointment at our convenience in the evening since we both work.  He listened carefully to what our goals were and took measurements of all the spaces.  His then went to work on designing the systems for each space.  He kept us updated through email on his progress.  Again at our convenience in the evening he presented his ideas.  He was right on and we loved everything he suggested.  He was a true professional with over 30 years of experience in designing and installing closet systems.  We even discovered that he had installed my in-laws systems 25 years ago.   They still look great and are very functional.  The pricing was right where we thought it would be and within our budget so we approved the project.  Rich clearly explained what prep work would have to be done (removal of existing shelving, patching of holes and painting). We contacted our painter and created a schedule to do the project in two phases over two weeks.  They were very accommodating to again meet our busy work schedules.  The coordinator contacted  us via email two to assure that everything was set up correctly.  The project was then handed over to the installer, Todd.  He was a true professional, very courteous, and knew what he was doing.   All surfaces were protected and cleanup when he was done.  The end product is fabulous.   The night that the project was completed, Rich came by to check the work and to assure that we were happy.  Incredible Customer Service from start to finish.  The entire process took less than a month. We good not be happier and would recommend this organization to anyone seeking to better organize their living space.

"Excellent job! We hired the company for few projects- custom walk-in closets, cabinets and laundry. The precision and attention to detail was exceptional. It was very nice to work with and they listened to every request we made. We were very pleased with the overall experience and will hire them again. Strongly recommend."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

Bow windows need support because they are large and extend out from the exterior wall of the home. Bow windows may extend 1 foot to several feet from the outside of the home, so you’ll need to provide additional support to handle this weight. A window contractor will be able to provide the proper amount of support for your new bow window.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.
