"Art was AMAZING! The first company I tried spent 3 months with trying to match the siding that they said wasn't available. On the same day I fired them, I called Art, panicked and frustrated. He came out that night, took one look and said I can get this, and gave me a great price. He did my whole house, was attentive to every detail, cleaned up everything, was very respectful and friendly, and would bring cookies for my dog every day. He helped me with a gutter issue when I mentioned I had some problems with it. I STRONGLY recommend Art. He's truly a great person and very reliable!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.

You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.
