"If you are looking for great quality, reliable, and fair pricing, look no further than West County Carpentry. You will work directly with the owner, Tim. We recently bought a home around Cobden IL and needed the old 2nd-story deck replaced. The old deck was under-built and rotting. Tim removed it and built a beautiful new 2nd story deck. Tim also used some of our left-over siding to repair and fix areas where the previous deck had been: Looks great! Safety was a #1 concern of ours, and Tim did a great job. The quality of his work is fantastic, and Tim worked with us under challenging circumstances (he had to change sources of some of the building supplies at the last minute due to COVID-19 so that our 2-story deck could be completed on-time). I cannot recommend Tims West County Carpentry enough."

"Found Sentri on Angi. Jeanette and Violet were very pleasant and efficient in getting a contractor to me in the time frame needed. The contractor was excellent and the roof looks great! I would definitely work with them again if I had additional projects."

Need a Handyman? We Finally Decided to Make It Official.\n\nSure, we're "new" to the handyman business... but only because we've spent the last 7 years flipping houses instead of printing business cards.\n\nWe've repaired, replaced, installed, painted, patched, and occasionally stared at a project wondering, "Who on earth did this?" (Then we fixed it.)\n\nWhether it's a leaky faucet, squeaky door, drywall repair, trim work, light fixtures, flooring, or that ever-growing honey-do list, we've probably tackled it before—just in houses we owned.\n\nWhy choose us?\n\n7 years of real, hands-on home renovation experience\nHonest work at fair prices\nWe show up when we say we will (crazy concept, we know)\nWe treat your home like it's one of our flips—minus the "For Sale" sign.\n\nDon't let that little repair become tomorrow's expensive repair. Give us a call, and we'll get it fixed right the first time.\n\nBecause duct tape is a temporary solution... no matter what your uncle says.

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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 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.

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.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

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.
