"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"

"Matt has done great work for us of varying sizes requiring different skills! 1. Fully renovated a 2 bay garage into a game room with a separate laundry. 2. Built a lattice fence surround for my 500 gallon propane tank - it gently masks the tank and provides a place for climbing roses! 3. Rebuilt a pergola that had rotted. 4. Replaced an eyebrow window and trim. Matt gives a solid estimate, stays on track and goes the extra mile to make sure you’re satisfied. Will continue to use him for all carpentry projects! Thank you Matt!"

"We had Paulo paint and stain the exterior of our house two years ago and he did such a great job at a good price we hired him recently for a complete bathroom remodel, a new floor in another bathroom and putting a skylight in my den. He is an expert with logistics - materials and workers arrived as needed, all on a tight schedule, all expert at what they did and all very amiable. Paulo himself loves his work, enjoys design and selection of materials, and is good at it. He stopped by every day to oversee progress and was done in about ten days. His bid was well below the other bid I received. Many people have since complimented the work. He has a foreman who checks all work and does much of it himself, Daniel Peixoto, who is both an extraordinarily hard worker and is masterful on tile and carpentry projects. I truly believe that Paulo's attitude affects his whole crew, giving them a friendly and considerate approach to their work and a real attention to detail."

Customers say: Quality work

"I cannot say enough great things about Gabriel and Rudy. We had them rebuild a 100 year old outbuilding that is now a shower house. Their work quality was extremely high. The building is now a beautiful piece of a historic property. They are great communicators. They show up when they say they will. They worked every day all day until the job was done. And they worked very fast. Their price was very reasonable. Easily 5 stars across the board."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

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.

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.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.
