"We highly recommend Van K Carpentry. Jerry was quick to respond, very reasonable and extremely personable. He did a fantastic job on modifying our kitchen island for a countertop install. We will definitely call him for any future projects."

"This was an excellent experience from start to finish. They contacted me immediately and scheduled an appointment to come out and look at what I was looking to do. After understanding my needs they created a design suggestion and I loved it, they sent me the design and price quote and once I signed off on it they contacted me to schedule the installation. They kept in contact with me, sent me the installers name and my installers showed up on time, was done in 45 minutes, they completely cleaned up and were very professional, polite and easy to work with. I was very happy and I would highly recommend them."

"Darren did an excellent job on my projects. He is truly a finished carpenter. He made new window grills and repaired and stained my outdoor trellises. I was impressed with his attitude that no job was to small. He has an excellent work ethic and pays attention to details. He noticed when additional repairs were needed and discussed with me rather than just overlooking the work. I would not hesitate to hire him for future work."

"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."

"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."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

A few signs that you need a new door frame include:

  • The door no longer fits properly in its frame and sticks or scrapes.

  • You notice cracks, holes, or rotting.

  • You feel a draft coming from around the door when it’s closed.

  • You find yourself frequently needing to make repairs.

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.

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.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects.
