"Tony came out promptly and gave us an estimate which we received the same day. Once we accepted the bid, work was started 3 days later. Work was completed on time and he did a great job. Tony kept a very neat work area. We are very satisfied with his work and will definitely call Kendall Builders for our next job."

"Brawny Builders was great on all accounts. They helped with the design of our project which included a new front entrance, large rear deck, a couple sections of fence and an outdoor shower. They had a competitive quote and we’re able to start quickly. Their crew was hard working, very courteous and customer focused. The project was completed within the agreed timeframe and slightly under budget. The best thing about working with Brawny Builders was their effectiveness in communicating with me about all phases of the project. We’ve worked with many contractors over our years and no one comes to Brawny Builders in their customer relations. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend them."

"Peter, did an excellent job with his crew on our remodeling project. The wood work on the custom built fireplace came out stunning and the same for the painting. He was on top of things throughout the whole process. He made sure that every detail was taken care of. He has great design ideas for the space that he works with. He pays attention to detail so the final result from a structural and design perspective comes out excellent. He does not cut corners. All the members of his crew are very easy to work with. I would definitely hire Chicago's Finest Remodeling again for our future projects. Highly recommended!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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. 

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.

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.
