"Excellent professional work and managed to use existing structures to cut costs. Carpentry work was master level and cleaned up very well and communication was first rate. In general lumber costs are high but the finished deck they did for my back deck is well worth the investment and will be enjoyed for years to come!"

"I needed a small repair to the handicapped ramp that is attached to my deck. Henry, of HP Carpentry worked with me to replace the boards on an “as needed” basis, since a whole tear-down was not in my budget. I truly appreciate his willingness to do this. The work was completed in one day and I couldn’t be more pleased."

"Thanks to you and your crew for the most amazing beautiful work we could have hoped for! Our very old garage needed repairs everywhere and we wanted siding. Your team is so talented and professional, every detail was covered. Also very respectful of our property, leaving our yard and driveway clean throughout the day and at the end of the work day. Your dedicated team was dependable from start to finish. We thank you as well for taking on the extra repair work. We are so pleased, the garage looks wonderful! Thanks for everything!"

"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."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.
