"Crown home improvement got the project done quickly and did a fantastic job. They built the wheelchair ramp just the way we wanted it. It was to provide access to our 5th wheel travel trailer and it needed to be built so that it could be moved when we wanted to travel with the trailer"

"Mason did a great job on my home. He was there at 6:30am, and didn’t leave until 2:30pm. He made sure the house was shining before he left, the driveway showed noticeable differences. I had a soft wash done, which was perfect for the vinyl on my house. I would highly recommend him for any pressure washing needs."

"Awesome! He practically knows how to do anything!! I had him doing my husband’s to do list and he got about half of it done in one day. From there I kept adding to the list once I saw how good he was. My only concern I had/have is that he works by the hour instead of quoting a price for the job. I was pleased at how well he worked and the length of time it took to get the job done. He even shops for any parts you may need but be prepared to pay for that time since it is time he could be on a job. He worked on electrical and plumbing jobs and carpentry and even things like hanging TV’s on the wall! I definitely would recommend him!!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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. 

New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

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.
