"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."

"Osmans Carpentry is excellent. Val came to the site and gave a very fair estimate of the work and the price. Communication is excellent. Flo is a very talented carpenter and installed a new 16 foot wood banister to the lower level. He also repaired a number of the stair balusters, fixing them in position very nicely. Super efficient worker who is very talented. Would hire them again without hesitation."

"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!"

"Tom and his crew did a lot more than just paint my new townhome. They installed new lighting, toilets, faucets, and more. Tom and Tracy are communicative, professional, honest, skilled, and flexible. I also thought their pricing was fair given the work they did. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to others!"

"After a major disappointment recently with a painting contractor, Art of Siding has restored my faith in humankind. No gimmicks, no gauging. and prompt service. Art repaired the dryer vent and put a cage over the opening to prevent birds from nesting. Oh and did I mention, he did it in the drizzling rain with pending thunderstorms, and the cost was 1/4 of a previous quote. Great to see there are still a few honest people on the planet."

"Sean procured the repair materials and matching corner siding piece from a siding contractor. The damage caused by squirrel was repaired and the hole covered very carefully. The area now looking like new. The work was done with much expertise and care. We will use Sean again for all handyman services in our home."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

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

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. 

Yes, most services include necessary frame modifications for proper door fitting. Confirm with your provider.
