"NGB Carpentry did a great job replacing the vertical blinds on my slider and fixing the sliding doors to my bedroom closet. The young carpenter was pleasant and efficient. He completed the work in one trip, and the cost was reasonable. I would highly recommend this company."

"Too young man of AJ carpentry bid on the job and were able to start immediately. They completed the deck in a timely professional manner. I was so satisfied with their work that I asked them to replace the trim on Shuffle all my windows. Again the job was done with expertise and skill and they cleaned up very nicely afterwards. I recommend him wholeheartedly for any kind of carpentry indoors or out"

"I had significant water damage to the kitchen floor and walls. Damage extended into a stairwell as well as the garage. Dry wall and insulation were removed. After everything was dry, Paulo's company handled the entire job: Insulation and drywall instillation, painting, and floor refinishing. They did a great job on all accounts. The employees were courteous and cleaned up each day. It was an extensive job and they did it in a timely fashion. Paulo visited the job site every day. With each new phase of the job, he came to the job site early to show his crew what needed to be done. He checked in to make sure that we were happy. He was timely in the initial appointment. He delivered a competitive price and started the job when he said they would. I would certainly use Paulo's Painting and Carpentry again."

"I hired Starbuck to do some remodeling in our pool house. They were prompt in suppling us a quote and scheduling the project. Roberto has great to work with. His team put up internal walls using shiplap, added a bar to the pool house and special molding. The team worked a long day, worked very well together and were in good spirts the whole time. They did the job in about 12 hours. Roberto stopped by the next day to assure all went well. I was very pleased with their work and would highly recommend them."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

A few signs that you need a new door frame include:

  • The door no longer fits properly in its frame and sticks or scrapes.

  • You notice cracks, holes, or rotting.

  • You feel a draft coming from around the door when it’s closed.

  • You find yourself frequently needing to make repairs.

Stick frames, metal frames, or prefabricated concrete frames are included in framing a house, along with creating the framework and space for windows, doors, and entryways. Other aspects of developing a home—like drywall, insulation, windows, doors, and more—are not included in the cost to frame a house.
