"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."

"Mr DeVaux did an excellent job on the finish carpentry work, painting and staining on a stain glass window frame install in an existing wall. The mitered corners had no gaps. Even though the job requirements changed somewhat there were no additional charges. I plan to hire him again on additional projects."

"I hired Bob to do repairs and renovation of a condo rental unit. He renovated the bathroom with new tiles, replacing bathroom rotten wood frame window with a vinyl frame, installing new light fixtures and repairing bathroom plumbing, repairing torn screens, as well as repainting interior walls and trim throughout the unit and installing new shades throughout. He also plastered water-damaged ceilings and cleaned and organized the basement storage area. On the exterior he replaced a rotted window frame and missing clapboards, then patched and painted the wall. Bob arrived early each day and worked diligently. Bob is a great problem solver and works with you to suggest ways to do repairs for the best outcome while keeping costs down. His work is high quality. I would definitely hire him again."

"I hired Bob to fix an exterior door frame that had some rot in it. He was friendly, punctual, and honest about what I did and didn't need done. He came back himself to do the job within a week or so and also explained to me how to maintain the parts that didn't need his help right now. I would hire him again."

Customers say: Quality work

"Highly recommend. I had a major sunroom repair with structural issues involved. Edian laid out the costs in advance, kept me updated with choices along the way that had to be made, and did very high quality work, all on time. Highly professional, timely, quality work--main carpenter has 28 years of experience, I believe! Nice people to work with as well."

"John and his crew did a fantastic job with our small remodeling project of turning a 3bd/1ba into a 2bd/2ba. I interviewed about 7 contractors for the job and John was by far the most personable, quality oriented, and reasonable. Throughout the process, he was great about providing his expert opinion but I never felt pressured in any situation. I had a vision for what I wanted and John was there to execute and provide guidance. My partner and I are first time home buyers and I was very worried about navigating the Boston system for renovations. John took care of everything and even though we had some hiccups with the city he was a great communicator and kept me updated every step of the way. At the end of each day he'd either send a text or call to tell me about the work done, any issues that we may possibly run into, and what was coming next. The quality of his work was excellent as well as the team of individuals he employed. Him and his team kept the site pretty clean and maintained a good relationship with the people in the other units in the building. All in all the project went extremely well; we finished within the quoted time frame and within budget! A feat I didn't think possible after all the horror stories I'd read. We've been living in our new home for about 2 months now and couldn't be happier. I would 100% recommend Moylan Contracting for any renovation needs and would absolutely use them again."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.

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

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.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.
