I've been a carpenter for about 3 years now. I am a solo operator who is also part-time at the moment. Looking to grow my business and eventually take my passion full-time. I can do something simple like trim work, or something more exciting like a bathroom/kitchen remodel. Maybe you want to turn your unfinished basement into a useful space! My goal is to help you live in the home you've always wanted to live in. Or if you're planning to sell, updating the home gives you more equity! Give me a call!

I can do most carpentry, painting, and landscaping jobs as well as basic electrical and plumbing. I am good with a chainsaw and have an 18 foot trailer to haul away wood and brush.

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Enhances property value, ensures safety, and provides a sound basis for future construction.

Homeowners can increase the usefulness of their garage space in other ways, and one option is to extend the length of the garage by making it deeper. The process is similar to traditional garage extensions, but the end product is a garage with a different layout rather than additional parking spaces. 

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

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