"Gil was terrific. Was on time for appt, pointed out some other problems due to no flashing when deck installed, and sent quote for replacement of door and frame, installing flashing, and bracing support beam. Work was done in a timely manner and everyone was very professional and efficient."

He is also so kind and wonderful to have around. I highly recommend Gaby- I will use him again for all my carpentry needs. He is an excellent carpenter!!"

"Moises Carpentry & Painting did an excellent job! He is a true gem! This job involved some outdoor work repairing woodpecker damage and other bird damage to our window frames. He quoted a fair price and arrived right on time. Instead of just patching he removed the sections of damaged molding and custom cut replacement molding to match the existing sections. Then they came back the next day and painted the new molding to match. They worked hard and efficiently without drama and did a thorough cleanup at the end. I give them my highest recommendation!"

"From our first contact about our project to the final install, we were extremely grateful for Dans work and highly recommend him. We needed a lead-safe contractor, and Dan took all the necessary precautions before and during the installation. He advised us as we chose our door and was flexible, even with a busy schedule, when our door delivery from the manufacturer was delayed several times. We would hire him again for future projects!"

Customers say: True professional

"This deck/porch rebuild is the fourth project I’ve done with Home Pro Services, and I will give them first refusal on any future renovation/construction projects. Apart from the consistently high quality of the work, I appreciate and value the following: Trustworthiness - I have no hesitation having Home Pro working in and around my home while I’m away from the property. Everything is secure when I return. Focus - Home Pro is a small company which doesn’t take on large numbers of jobs simultaneously. A client has their full attention for the duration of the project. Environment - Work areas are kept clean and organized. Collaboration - They work with me to achieve the results I want. Forthrightness about costs/alterations to plans - Any recommended changes to original plans are discussed in advance as are the costs for changes/extras; alternative approaches/costs are discussed. Follow-through - Home Pro will come back to address questions/concerns. In my first project, I had concerns about custom-ordered windows; they returned with the manufacturer to discuss the issue. In addition to the qualities noted above, I enjoy working with both Joe and Jonathan. It’s a pleasure when a contractor offers both professionalism and a cordial working relationship."

"Osmin and his team did a great job replacing our triple-decker back porch. He worked with an architect, that he found, to make sure there were no variances required. This made the permitting process quicker. It was a tricky job because building codes have changed since the porch was first built."

"Excellent! We hired Sanfer and his team after meeting with him a few times and checking references. We really liked his can-do attitude and flexibility. He was easy to talk to and had some design ideas that we chose over the architects. He is a strong builder, meaning he doesnt skimp on making it well made. That was important to me. He has a really great finish carpenter too. Shout out to Edgard! Our remodel was a 4 room, bathroom, 2 floor addition (now a walk out basement/first floor) to accommodate an inlaw apt on the ground floor and office and living room on the first. We also had a small elevator added between the two floors. The pricing was right down the middle compared to others. The elevator installers remarked that the hoistway was the best built they had worked with, which was important since it needed to be within a quarter inch of plumb at any point. We used Sanfer for other smaller add ons and would hire them again for a large or smaller job."

"We could not be more pleased with the work that Joe and his carpenter did to refurbish the porches and basement entryway of our 1890s home. The work was performed promptly, on-budget, and looks beautiful. Trash was picked up neatly and disposed of promptly. Joe is highly responsive and a pleasure to work with. He also helped us with a last-minute plumbing problem. 10/10 would work with again!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project.
