"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."

"Mitch and Spencer handled my tuck pointing job, which started out small but turned out to be large, professionally. They knew what the problem was with water infiltration and how to treat it. Their tuck-pointer did really great work on the stone and brick and rebuilding my rear stairs and he left the place spotless. I will definitely re-hire them for projects I have coming up."

"Art did an excellent job of fixing a hole in the insulation behind the siding of our house. The hole was causing a water leak in our dining room ceiling. He also caulked a window. Art was knowledgeable and assessed the situation and gave us a reasonable estimate. The estimate and work done were both scheduled within a week."

This was one of the most positive experiences we have ever had with a contractor.  Within one day of contacting Closet Organizing System via email we received a callback.  We explained what our goal was and what we were interested in pursuing.  We then received a very prompt call from the Designer, Rich, who set up an appointment at our convenience in the evening since we both work.  He listened carefully to what our goals were and took measurements of all the spaces.  His then went to work on designing the systems for each space.  He kept us updated through email on his progress.  Again at our convenience in the evening he presented his ideas.  He was right on and we loved everything he suggested.  He was a true professional with over 30 years of experience in designing and installing closet systems.  We even discovered that he had installed my in-laws systems 25 years ago.   They still look great and are very functional.  The pricing was right where we thought it would be and within our budget so we approved the project.  Rich clearly explained what prep work would have to be done (removal of existing shelving, patching of holes and painting). We contacted our painter and created a schedule to do the project in two phases over two weeks.  They were very accommodating to again meet our busy work schedules.  The coordinator contacted  us via email two to assure that everything was set up correctly.  The project was then handed over to the installer, Todd.  He was a true professional, very courteous, and knew what he was doing.   All surfaces were protected and cleanup when he was done.  The end product is fabulous.   The night that the project was completed, Rich came by to check the work and to assure that we were happy.  Incredible Customer Service from start to finish.  The entire process took less than a month. We good not be happier and would recommend this organization to anyone seeking to better organize their living space.

"We initially hired Darren to replace a Formica countertop in our kitchen. Work was performed on time and on budget. Darren respected our privacy, cleaned up after each day, and demonstrated a high quality attitude and approach to the work. Based on the initial work, we asked Darren to make some small repairs, which led to repair or a skylight leak, which led to painting , which led you to multiple rooms of painting, which led to the installation of a new gas cooktop, which led to some electrical lighting replacement. Darren demonstrated great skill diversity / plumbing, electrical, mechanical, painting, exterior repairs, and carpentry. The convenience of having someone to address various tasks that would have been a challenge for DIY was of tremendous value to us. Darren also demonstrated flexibility in work hours, and came back on a weekend to finish a critical activity to support our needs. We would readily call Darren again to help us on other tasks bs DIY."

"They completed the entire roofing project in two days time. However, the inside trim work around the skylights has been delayed for three weeks. The good thing is that I've held back a hefty amount of monies to finish paying off the project. I get there are delays based upon who does what type of specialty work. The carpenter is scheduled for next week Tuesday. We'll see."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.

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.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

Stick frames, metal frames, or prefabricated concrete frames are included in framing a house, along with creating the framework and space for windows, doors, and entryways. Other aspects of developing a home—like drywall, insulation, windows, doors, and more—are not included in the cost to frame a house.

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.
