"Gaby is excellent. He quoted my job accurately and honestly. He worked quickly and effectively- and was done in the time he had predicted. His work is stellar- we are so happy with our deck. 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!!"

"I hired Midas painting for an exterior paint job on my large Queen Ann home that was about 10 years overdue . Lots of peeling paint and odds and ends carpentry work. I was extremely happy with the result. The house looks beautiful now. Brad, the owner is very easy to work with and is responsive to any issues that come up. His team is wonderful--very friendly, meticulous, in their painting and showed up when they said they would. There was a decent amount of carpentry work that needed to be done (he has his own carpenter on the team ) and it was all done very well , with no cost surprises. Highly recommend."

"They did other work besides brick work! Installed a basement window, a retractable screen door, outside railing. Extremely satisfied with work done! Pricing was good! Time frame was less than expected! They cleaned up, left no trash! I would highly recommend them! Workers were very polite!' Osvaldo stayed on top of everything! I can't say enough! I would definitely use them again."

"I've had an overall excellent experience working with Larry! I hired him to get the framing done for my finished basement, and he has always been quick to respond and did excellent work. He coordinate well to get the materials delivered, and arrived promptly to transport them to the project location. It was always easy to schedule things and get in contact with Larry. I would definitely hire him again!"

"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."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, professionals can install new frames, trim, and threshold adjustments for a complete finish.

If you remove a load-bearing wall to create an entrance to a carport or covered patio, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,500, with an average cost of $6,400. Factors such as the type of addition and if that area needs additional work will add to the price.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

Homeowners can increase the usefulness of their garage space in other ways, and one option is to extend the length of the garage by making it deeper. The process is similar to traditional garage extensions, but the end product is a garage with a different layout rather than additional parking spaces.
