"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."

"Flo arrived on time as scheduled for the project. All necessary supplies were on hand. He and his associate worked smoothly together. The project consisted of replacing 11 steps and risers and all stair trim. Flo completed the carpentry part in one day. His painters came the next day and applied 2 coats of paint. The porch looks great. The project price was fair and competitive. Not only are we 100% satisfied with Osman Carpentry, but we are scheduled to have them complete another 3 projects for us and probably a 4th project after that. You will be glad you hired them. It was a pleasure doing business with them."

"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!"

"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!"

"From the first phone call I had with Richard to the finished job, these contractors were extremely thorough, well communicated, efficient, and they did a great job in removing drywall, insulating ductwork, installing new drywall, and refinishing as well as repainting all the new surfaces. Noble Modern Builders gave a competitive estimate, and they stuck to it while also being flexible for add on work if necessary. I would highly recommend using this tight family - like crew run by Rey as they do fantastic work, and they get the job done the right way, on time, and on budget."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.
