"Art gave me a quote for only what I needed. He did not try to sell me on a new deck but said he would be able to repair and replace only what was needed. His price was very reasonable. Art came to the jobsite by himself. He would not let me help at all. He was professional, finished the job when he said he would and cleaned everything up and took garbage away. Very nice guy and would hire him again if ever I need him."

"It went quite well. The work was done on time and they were very professional. The installers worked quickly and cleaned up after themselves thoroughly. The systems they designed, especially the master bedroom walk in closet and the laundry room, have been a big improvement over what was there and will allow us to fit into our condo after coming from a 4 bedroom house. The design phase was also very professional. They showed us there ideas and then discussed them with us and listened to our feedback to make changes to accomodate our particular needs and"

"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."

"Zach and his crew were awesome. They designed closet space that perfectly fit my needs and the installation was quick and easy. Very cost effective as well - I got several quotes and they were by far the most competitive. They understood the requirements of the condo association and made it a super easy process. 100% will use them again."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.
