"Things did not go well. The contractor threatened to walk off the job if he didn't get a price increase despite inspecting the work. Then he disappeared in the middle of the job. Would not use again."

We are a full service cabinetry shop servicing the Chicagoland area.

"We hired Wheatland to refinish our kitchen cabinets – fine cherry wood that had just become scratched and faded over time. Other than a slower-than-expected start date, we are extremely pleased with their work. All their personnel were quite courteous, and obviously experienced professionals – most notably, Ross. The lengths they went to prepare and protect the kitchen were amazing. Their cleanliness was unmatched by any contractor we have retained previously – limiting all of the dust to a tightly sealed area, and diligently cleaning up every night. Most importantly, the end results met all our expectations. Yes, we would certainly hire them again, and we strongly recommend them to anybody with similar needs."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

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

Traditionally, bungalows are single-story homes, although having a half or partial story on top of the first floor is common. While adding a second story to a bungalow is certainly possible, the home would no longer be considered a bungalow by the strictest definition.

Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.
