"It has been our pleasure to have Tillman Carpentry complete our privacy fence project! Zachery helped us work within our budget, providing a very fair quote. Their great, hard-working crew did a top notch job, completing our 80' fence in one day. We are very pleased with the end result and highly recommend Tillman Carpentry!"

"Great company to work with. I had seamless gutters and all the fascia boards and trim, capped. The project manager, Devan, answered all my questions and let me know what to expect. Aaron, who lead the crew doing the work, was very professional. Other than how wonderful my house looks now, they left no trace of being here. The workmanship is spot on! I would recommend them highly!"

"I was very impressed with the work Precision Framing did. I hired them for a full kitchen remodel. They showed up when they said the would. They kept me in the loop on everything, and they were very responsive to all of my questions or concerns. They were also very helpful in pointing me in the right direction when it came to buying the right materials for my project. All the work was done in a timely manner. I plan on hiring them again for future projects. I'm attaching before during and after pictures."

Customers say: Quick response

"Marc had excellent follow through, called when he said he would, was on time. Gary was the more technical expert and was very knowledgeable about how to do the work. They were very respectful when here as well as pleasant to work with. They made sure the completed work was good before they were finished. The project took longer than expected, but they stayed focused and honored the quoted price. I recommend them for any door install and cabinet remodel. I also think they would be qualified for other projects too. They did not rush just to get done, but cared about doing a great job and then cleaned up too!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.

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.

Metal stud framing parts include the studs themselves, upper and lower tracks that act as top and bottom wall plates, various angle fasteners and clips, screws for fastening pieces togeher, metal straps, c-channel supports, and thicker steel supporting structures. Roof framing metal components include pre-fabricated trusses, heavy-gauge stud pieces, and various plates and fasteners.

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. 

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.
