"I recently had my shingle roof replaced and I?m very happy with the results. The team was professional, punctual, and completed the job efficiently. The quality of the work is excellent, and the new roof looks great. They kept the work area clean and communicated well throughout the process. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing a roof replacement."

"They arrived on time,  were professional and answered a lot of question.  It took about three hours and two people came to do this.  They left the area mostly clean.  They did leave some stickers on the windows that I had to pull off.  I would tell friends and family that they should research the price on windows to make sure they are not over paying."

"Jodoin Home Improvement is an excellent company! They work to a high standard of quality and everyone who works there is kind and considerate. We had the exterior siding and windows replaced on our home by Jodoin. The job took a long time to complete because of the amount of work. They set to their task every day, called if weather was a factor and were a pleasure to have around. I would not hesitate to recommend them and to use their services in the future!"

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Thibault and Sons Construction for my kitchen renovation, and I could not be happier with the results! From start to finish, their team was professional, attentive, and dedicated to bringing my vision to life. They did an incredible job on the kitchen, transforming the space into something truly beautiful. What impressed me even more was how seamlessly they installed new floors to match the existing ones its like they were always meant to be together! I highly recommend Thibault and Sons Construction to anyone looking for quality work and a stress-free renovation experience. They exceeded my expectations in every way!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.

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.
