"Doug and his team were great! We needed our deck rebuilt and reinforced for our hot tub. They build a deck sturdy enough for several hot tubs!! Doug came out quickly and gave us a very reasonable quote and was back out two days later to start the job. I wouldn't hesitate to call Doug for any home improvement project."

You will be glad you called them. Very professional, with excellent skills. I even got an outdoor butcher block. I will hire them again for my next carpentry job. Great work!!! Can't say it enough."

"I had the interior of my house painted and new carpet installed in 3 bedrooms. The carpet installers were excellent! Very precise and hard working. They moved out all the heavy furniture and put it all back in place when finished. Work was done in 3 hours. The painters did a great job! They were very nice men. I had one area that I wasn't really pleased with and Steve had Maricio come back a few days later and fix it at no extra charge. It looks fantastic now."

Customers say: Quality work

"We are revamping a custom home and gutted the dining room walls. Jason installed stained door trim, window trim, baseboards, and corrected our coffers ceilings. I am very particular on things being done correctly, especially when installing stained trim. He was meticulous, respectful, on time and was by far THE easiest person that I ve worked with since beginning the process of this fixer upper."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

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.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.
