"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"

Customers say: Quick response

"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!"

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

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

Yes, using certified lumber and engineered wood products for reduced environmental impact.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

There are both temporary and permanent ways to enclose a carport. If you’re looking to enclose your carport for the winter, a canvas enclosure could do the trick. It won’t be as protective as a permanent structure, but it can offer some protection from elements like snow, rain, and wind. For a permanent enclosure, you can add extra walls, add a new vertical roof, or a lean-to addition on one side of the structure.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.
