"Calix provided us with excellent and highly skilled carpentry services on multiple occasions. They’ve done several projects for us now, including replacing a bannister on our stairs (which included a new hand rail design), replacing a step on our indoor stairs as well as our gazebo outside, and designing and building a set of built-in shelves and cabinets. Carlos’s work is extremely high quality. He has excellent attention to detail and is very professional and timely. We happily and gladly recommend him for any carpentry services."

"Luis was a pleasure to do business with. His estimates were provided during initial visit. He was specific with his details and scope of work. His team met time frame and deadlines. The cost to paint 2 stairways, living room, kitchen, dining area and hallway was affordable and within my budget. I will be using R&L for my future home improvement needs."

"The project went very smoothly. Ferney communicated very well about the timing. The final cost was very close to the estimate. They used high quality materials, took their time, and did the work with care. They did detailed touches like caulking seams, repairing window frames. And the paint job was excellent. It is nice to deal with someone who plays things straight with honesty and integrity. I will definitely reach out to them again."

"Kurt was easy to reach via email or telephone. Apprised us of his approach to stripping our deck of its horrible paint coating and was upfront of the general cost during his first visit. He did need to be reminded to provide a specific contract upfront. Otherwise, deck restoration work progressed quickly once weather conditions permitted start and Kurt finished the large project within a few days."

"CBJ Home Improvements did a fantastic job on my outdoor living project (enlarging deck, installing screen room, and building a patio). First of all, the workers that built each part of the project were Craftsmen! Each putting in their own expert 'signature' custom piece. Secondly, they finished the work within the scheduled time. I will get CBJ for all my general contracting needs! Al and Vanessa"

"Amazing craftsmanship and quality work. I highly recommend Bill for any of your handyman needs. We we're selling our house and needed him to touch-up some items and he knocked it out of the park for a very reasonable price. Bill was always on time and was very trustworthy. Look no further for your handyman needs!"

"What more can I say about Home Genius Exteriors other than they are truly lifesavers! My home had a terrible leak in the back portion of our home. We didn't know where the leak was coming from so we assumed it was coming from the windows, so we searched via Google and found Home Genius Exteriors and saw the excellent ratings. We called and they immediately came out and started the process of our window replacement. However, upon further inspection by our project manager, Mike, he discovered it was actually our roof. After much research and time, we had the roof fixed prior to the window replacement. Mike and crew came to my home the day of the replacement on time and worked tirelessly to complete it. Because my windows were so old, they actually had to re-frame them and even made them look better than before! Home Genius Exteriors went over and beyond... their professionalism and constant contact with me made a world of difference. The final product is amazing and I am still in awe how beautiful it is! Thank you so much Mike and the Home Genius Exteriors crew!"

"Alex gave a thorough and helpful estimate for refinishing and painting our very old wooden front porch. He used top quality paint and materials, took his time preparing the older surfaces for repainting and kept to the schedule. We plan to have him back for other work to be done."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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. 

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

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.

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.

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.
