Customers say: Quality work

"Wilson is a skilled craftsman who has rescued so many of my fine antique pieces over the last 15 years. He is extremely talented and very easy to work with. I have given him broken, stained, desiccated and otherwise damaged wooden items that he has restored to their original beauty. I find his prices quite moderate and his work exceptional."

"I cannot give enough kudos to the Conrad Homes crew. Mike West, John and Brian did a thoroughly professional job finishing part of our unfinished basement. The work is well done and finished very nicely; they were efficient and friendly. Work included framing, drywall, trim, suspended ceiling and painting, plus installation of several electrical outlets and ceiling fixtures."

"The CBD team from the design representative, David Chin, through Andy, Miguel and Miguel the installation team, were topshelf, if you will allow the pun.  Professionalism and customer focus from the first phone call to final installation. Excellent work at reasonable price. 
This was very large job coming on the heels of a move to the new home; we were sitting with all our clothes in packing boxes and as each closet was finished we unloaded the contents of the boxes into each.  The job was scheduled to last three days and as we were rapidly reaching stress overload we asked the installation team to finish in two.  The team stay on site until almost 11:00PM on day two, never complained and took few if any noticable breaks.  Quality did not suffer and a thorough cleanup was done even though the team had to return the company vehicle and still had 30 minute commutes home.
We are already asking CBD to come in and give us an estimate on storage for the garage.
Highly recommend them to anyone who wants it done right with a quality product.

"Steven and his crew did an awesome job replacing an existing deck and built a new and larger one. Steven is very professional and gets back to you right away with any questions or concerns that you may have. The job was done in the time frame he projected and the price came out as quoted. He also did some stump grinding for me as well. I would highly recommend them!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

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.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.
