"Kenny did a great job for us. Kenny was punctual and very processional. He did extra work when he found that we had a problem with a rotting frame before he could install our door. He communicated the problems, documented all of work he did. We will definitely work with Kenny again for any carpentry work we need to have done."

"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."

"House repairs Carlos and the team are truly great! I am writing to express my satisfaction with the work done by the Carlos and team who fixed my house trims and painted parts of my house. The work was done quickly and efficiently, and the results are outstanding. The carpenters were very professional and experienced. They took the time to listen to my needs and make sure that the work was done to my satisfaction. The team fixed all of the damaged trim around my house. They replaced the rotted wood, patched the holes, and painted the trim to match the rest of the house. They were also very careful to protect my property and to clean up after themselves. The painters were also very professional and experienced. I am very happy with the work that was done by the team. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for quality work at a fair price. I am very pleased with the results of the work that was done. My house looks great and a few other professionals working on the house said they will use Carlos in their future projects. I would highly recommend Real Painting & Home Improvement to anyone who is looking for quality work at a fair price."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Enhances property value, ensures safety, and provides a sound basis for future construction.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

You can enclose an open carport, however, there are several things to consider before opting to do so. You'll want to check local building codes and permit requirements before proceeding to make sure it’s legal. While you can sometimes stick-frame a carport enclosure, pre-fab kits are also available. Remember that you'll likely need to meet concrete slab regulations and provide lighting inside the structure. Both of which could substantially drive up costs.
