"Ralph began working on our deck a day or two before a particularly shocking and difficult loss for our family. From start to finish, he was professioanl, caring, warm and relatable, and went above and beyond for this project. He respected our budget while also paying attention to the small details we hadn't thought of. He was highly communicative and flexible in his process. With what a catastrophic event we had just lived through at the time he was here, it was comforting to know we had a man like Ralph- along with his crew- taking such good care of us and our house during the whole ordeal. And now we have a beautiful new mudroom/office space to enjoy! I give him my highest recommendation and would have him back at my house for any additional work that crops up for us any time with zero hesitation. Thanks, again, Ralph! The new room looks amazing."

"The renovation of our 1950's bathroom has been completed and it is a piece of art. The entire project was handled by Johnny C. with excellence. Johnny was easy to work with and shared his expertise and knowledge to help us with the process. Some of our design choices did pose a challenge for him but he executed those trouble spots expertly. This renovation had a huge tile component and he did a beautiful job with the wall and floor tile we chose. We now have a really stunning bathroom that is in keeping with the vintage age of the home. From our initial meeting we were comfortable with what he offered: a really fair price, a couple of consultations prior to the work beginning which helped us select our materials and very responsive to our questions throughout the process. Each day Johnny and his assistant, Danny, arrived on time. At the end of each day, Danny did an excellent job of cleaning up the work area and leaving things in the best possible condition. Johnny is very conscientious about returning the home to the owners so things can remain as normal as possible through the process. We recommend Johnny highly for his excellent workmanship, his friendly personality, his more than fair price and the easy manner of communication."

"Ryan and Hunter did a great job with installing my two interior doors. I also worked with Ryan previously on a mailbox installation which came out great as well."

"I had the pleasure of working with Dino and Pete of Platinum Construction to complete my living room, entry way and closet floor. Although it was a small project for them we felt as though it was handled with the same care and professionalism as the larger projects they do. As well as being completed in a timely manner. Pete and his helper did a great job. They were prompt at 8am both mornings, very informative and professional through the project. Should I need another project done they will be the first ones I reach out to!"

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

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.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

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.
