"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!"

"Hired Jim to do a repair of a rotted garage header. He was great to work with. I wasn't on site while he was doing the repair, but he was very good about communicating status updates and responding to my questions promptly, even on weekends and in the evenings. He went out of his way to fit us in his schedule quickly and was very flexible to ensure that his work led to minimum disruptions (including securing our garage every night unlike other contractor proposals). The final product was outstanding. Highly recommended."

"This was an excellent experience from start to finish. They contacted me immediately and scheduled an appointment to come out and look at what I was looking to do. After understanding my needs they created a design suggestion and I loved it, they sent me the design and price quote and once I signed off on it they contacted me to schedule the installation. They kept in contact with me, sent me the installers name and my installers showed up on time, was done in 45 minutes, they completely cleaned up and were very professional, polite and easy to work with. I was very happy and I would highly recommend them."

"Excellent job! We hired the company for few projects- custom walk-in closets, cabinets and laundry. The precision and attention to detail was exceptional. It was very nice to work with and they listened to every request we made. We were very pleased with the overall experience and will hire them again. Strongly recommend."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

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.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.
