"Gaby is excellent. He quoted my job accurately and honestly. He worked quickly and effectively- and was done in the time he had predicted. His work is stellar- we are so happy with our deck. He is also so kind and wonderful to have around. I highly recommend Gaby- I will use him again for all my carpentry needs. He is an excellent carpenter!!"

"I would not hesitate to recommend DC Carpenters based on my experience. They promptly replied to my inquiry, quoted a reasonable price, came when they said they would and finished the job (wooden shed restoration). Very competent crew, cleaned up when finished. Overall a great job by energetic and well managed carpenters."

"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."

"Our experience in selecting Pontes Painting is as follows: four paint contractors visited and surveyed the two story- shingled, sixteen window house to survey the project . I had prepared questions and took notes on each survey, sent an email to each contractor to confirm my notes of their survey, and requested a return confirmation and detailed quotation from each, via email. . Only Pontes Painting replied with an email detailed quotation, with each line item clearly explained. including paint type, manufacturer, color and number of paint coats, surface preparation, number of painters in the crew, schedule and detailed pricing breakdowns, , time to complete the project, warranty and payment terms, along with copies of the 13 house photos taken during R Pontess survey. One of the other contractors visited again in person to review his prepared hand written proposal. *** Pontes Painting was selected., pricing was competitive *** Sept 19, 2023, two, Pontes Painting and vans arrived promptly at 8:00 AM, with a total crew of four including a supervisor who remained on site ( and also painted) the entire day. The crew also included a skilled carpenter/painter. The carpenter completely rebuilt the basement door door frame. The crew was respectful, polite, clean cut, cooperative in every way, complied with several special requests. Safety first for the customer and crew, meaning that the crew took the time at the end of the day to take down the ladders, stack them and place off to the side of the yard walking area at the end of each day Also, they picked up trash & cleaned up each day, never asked for anything or to use our facilities, Email and phone communications with R Pontes was continuously expedient, he gave very good advice to us on what to do and what not to do on color combinations. We are very glad that we took his advice. They re-installed all of our shutters on sixteen windows. The project was completed in two days. We surveyed the project on ( sunny) Thursday(( 9/21) AM, found several spots that needed touch- up. The supervisor returned on that same Thursday afternoon, completed each touch- up to our satisfaction. I had to TIP them. I highly recommend Pontes Painting."

"Excellent work by Jorge and his carpenter building a new stairway on our deck and redoing the posts on our front porch to level and strengthen it. They the most inexpensive option, but they more than delivered on what had been promised. Jorge was an excellent communicator, clear about scheduling and always appeared exactly when he'd promised to. I'm late in posting this review, but the benefit of being late is that I can add that six months later we are still very pleased with their work and I would recommend them highly."

"My name is John and I have been a private homeowner for the past 35 years. I recently hired day and night painting and carpentry through home advisor to complete repairs and painting on my front porch veranda. Day and night painting and carpentry did a professional job. They completed the work on time. Their pricing was reasonable. And their customer service was excellent. I plan to ask them to return to complete additional work at my home. thank you homeadvisor."

"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."

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.

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

Installing an ornamental or decorative porch column takes around three to five hours. Structural columns take longer because your pro has to install a jack to hold up the roof while switching the column out. If there's any structural damage, it can add several days to the timeline to repair the damage.
