Customers say: True professional

"Chip Kroener and his partners demolished and disposed of an existing flagstone and masonry patio and replaced it with a roofed frame porch. During the initial meeting I provided a verbal concept of the porch I envisioned and the grading necessary to correct some drainage issues. They responded with drawings, some cost saving suggestions and estimate in a very timely manner. Work progressed in a very professional manner and was completed as promised and on budget. We are very pleased with the finished product which looks as if it was part of the original home design. The grading and reseeding was well done and all debris was disposed of. The work site was left safe and orderly at the end of each day. I plan on working with Chip in the future and will recommend him to anyone wanting any kind of handyman or home improvement work done."

"Accurate estimate and the job was started promptly. Great work on our new deck and the design details suggested by the carpenters added much to the overall look of the deck. Great cleanup afterwards, also. Many thanks! We would highly recommend Tidewater."

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.

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.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

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.
