"We have had them do several jobs over the years from building a deck, to installing doors, outdoor lights and exterior painting. We have been extremely happy with anything they have worked on. We will be calling them for more projects in the future. We highly recommend them."

"Working with Joe was truly awesome. He was punctual and delivered on all of his commitments not to mention the quality of work he does! We have been remodeling our house (avid DIYers) for the past couple of years but the trim work is something neither my husband or I have the patience or expertise to do. Joe and Brice made it look easy. They worked efficiently and the result was beyond my expectations. We highly recommend Joe and will definitely use him again!"

"I found these gentlemen working on a neighbor's deck... Called them over, explained what I needed done.They gave me an estimate. Came and did the work relatively quick and efficient.. it would have been done sooner but the weather was not participating... But we did not have a problem with them coming back. They were extremely thorough and courteous and attention to detail was phenomenal... If we had questions they were relatively quick to get back to us with answers... I highly recommend this company. They were a pleasure to do business with. I would highly recommend them !!!"

"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."

"We had a great experience working with Top Bros construction and remodeling. They fully removed our tile and wood flooring and installed LVP that we had provided. They also installed new trim and baseboards throughout, which look great. They were timely and efficient. We are very happy with the outcome!"

"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

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

You can enclose an open carport, however, there are several things to consider before opting to do so. You'll want to check local building codes and permit requirements before proceeding to make sure it’s legal. While you can sometimes stick-frame a carport enclosure, pre-fab kits are also available. Remember that you'll likely need to meet concrete slab regulations and provide lighting inside the structure. Both of which could substantially drive up costs.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

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

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry.
