"He took out two unwanted windows. Outside the holes were insulated, boarded over and sided. Inside the same holes were insulated, dry walled, taped, mudded, sanded, primed, and finish painted. You cannot tell there were ever windows in the remaining wall. He blended the paint perfectly. We are very happy with the job he did. Dan is a very talented carpenter and multifaceted with painting skills, electrical skills and plumbing abilities. We are happy we have found him and hired him to work in our home. In addition to being very talented, Dan also a very nice man who listens and then goes out of his way to ensure he delivers what the customer wants."

"Extremely well. I live a distance from my rental property, and I felt comfortable working with Marc by phone sending me before and after photos of the work he did. I found Marc to be honest, caring, easy to work with, reliable, dependable, and reasonable in price. My tenants and I are very satisfied with his work, and would not hesitate to hire him again."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

Yes, professionals can install new frames, trim, and threshold adjustments for a complete finish.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.
