"Gaby helped us remodel our kitchen. We wanted to keep our existing custom cabinets but modernize the appearance. Gaby transformed the look from a country style kitchen to a more modern, crisp design by: -extending the cabinets about 10” to the ceiling, and adding molding and trim work -replacing faux legs in our island and cooking area with clean edges -building custom decorative panels for the island and columns -removing a cabinet to make room for a beverage center -countless repairs and fixes Gaby also coordinated painting - both the cabinets and the ceiling/walls, and painted over 50 cabinet doors/drawers himself. The painting turned out absolutely beautiful and professional - as if the cabinets were white from the beginning. He also coordinated many of the other jobs, including recommending an electrician for us who was also very reliable and professional. In many ways, he acted like a GC for us in addition to a carpenter. Can’t say enough about Gaby. He is an outstanding, meticulous carpenter. He knows his stuff in and out. He is reliable, prompt, efficient, reasonable, and goes above and beyond to deliver amazing results. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone and already planning other carpentry projects with him in mind. A+, 10/10, fabulous to work with. Thank you Gaby!"

"Working with Brian Taylor was great. I had a smallish job not a lot of contractors had interest in: I wanted my 20-year-old shed put on a new foundation. Brian came out quickly to assess the job, gave me a price on the spot, and completed the work the next week, as promised. It looks great! I would definitely hire him again."

"I can go on and on with great things to say about the owner of â Collazo home improvementsâ Johnny Collazo has been doing work for me fresh out of carpenter school. I took a chance on him and the work has been beyond amazing since. We started small as I was living in an apartment. However we still got creative. I was a bachelor at the time fresh out of college and he brought college home with me. He built me a custom in home pallet bar. It Was the place to be for many years. He had also mounted several tvs for me and completed simple repairs. Now that I am a homeowner the work has tripled and somehow he has always managed to fit me into his schedule and blow us away with the finished result. His flexibility and passion for the work is unmatched. I am forever grateful to have him as a contractor I can call. â No job to big, no job to smallâ Collazo does it all."

"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."

Customers say: Quick response

"You won’t regret hiring Strong Builders for any project. Jack was great to work with, from beginning to end. He built a 16x18’ family room with a 16’ cathedral ceiling. Jack was on-site everyday and completed almost everything himself - framing, siding, windows, roof, sheetrock, hardwood floor, fireplace/mantle, painting, deck. Jack provided daily updates and was very transparent when it came to costs associated with the project. He was very courteous of us still living the in house during construction - with two young kids. Jack’s attention to detail, from paperwork to carpentry, is second to none. Strong Builders will be my go to for future projects."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

Building a barndominium means converting a barn into a house. Barndominiums are becoming popular as spacious and stylish alternatives to typical housing structures. Old barns that become houses traditionally consist of wooden construction. However, newer structures, such as pole barns, often contain metal exteriors and roofs. Converting a metal outbuilding into a house presents an excellent opportunity to create a barndominium from metal.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.
