"If you want a job well done, hire Ryan! He recently built a bookshelf unit for me. His workmanship is exemplary. He pays attention to every detail and creates just what you want. If youâ re looking for an excellent finishing carpenter, Ryan is your guy. On top of all that, he is polite and personable and ever so pleasant to work with. In addition to all of this, he is impeccably neat in his cleanup at the end of the project."

"My husband and I recently hired Preservation Projects to remove an old existing wood privacy fence and replace with a new one. From start to finish they were outstanding. The company is owned and operated by Champion and Aden Hammons and that’s who you will deal with. The communication was timely and Aden was patient in answering all my questions. We received bids from 4 companies and their bid was, by far, the most affordable. They got our job scheduled quickly and gave us a 3 day window of completion, but 90% of the work was completed on the first day. They removed all the debris and now we have an amazing fence! Their professionalism and skill cannot be beat! I HIGHLY recommend Preservation Projects for any work you may need—you will not be disappointed!! They were so meticulous in their work that they even saved a robin’s nest with 4 bright blue eggs! These guys are quite simply the BEST!"

"I have been looking for someone to do this job for over a year, and he is the only one who actually showed up and he did a wonderful job! He is very skilled and communicates well. The finished job is lovely. He replaced all the fascia and carpentry work in front of the garage door, as well as all of the trim around it."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

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. 

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors.
