"I was faced with the daunting task of remodeling my 40 year old homes exterior. There was a lot of damaged wood and made looking at this project very difficult. The team at Home Genius were very great at putting my mind at ease when dealing with the siding. There?s were very intricate details in finishing my project and the crew really did a fantastic job putting it all together."

"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 had been trying to get my chain linked fence replaced since June and I have never seen company's act like they didn't want to take my money (Lowes, Long Fence). I was either never contacted back or was given a 8 week time frame just for materials. I contacted Matt of Minor Adjustments on Monday evening and he came out to give me an estimate within a couple hours. He was very professional and concise with what needed to be done and how long it would take. Needless to say in less than a week his guys were onsite tearing down my old fence and installing the new one. They were also professional and focused on completing the project and doing it correctly. I would definitely use this company again."

"An excellent carpentry project that is not in the drop-down categories above. Built a second left-side banister to assist with stair climbing after owner injury. The banister matches the original perfectly and is beyond expectations. 100% recommendation."

"Couldn't be better! The rounded corners of the large pads were perfect. Unfortunately, I measured the width of the leaves incorrectly, I called them when I discovered my mistake. They were very gracious and helpful. They remade the three leaves for $60 and comped the shipping."

"I had the pleasure of working with Mike a few years ago for my store, and I was absolutely thrilled with the outcome. I want to give a huge shoutout to the team for their incredible work and attention to detail throughout the project. The craftsmanship on the shelves they created was impeccable. Using high-quality white pine wood and integrating strategically placed lights truly made our products stand out. Their knowledge about carpentry and attention to detail in constructing these shelves was evident. It's amazing how they transformed the store's look and feel. The custom 30-foot bar counter they crafted was an absolute masterpiece! The combination of a sturdy butcher block for the top and the addition of reclaimed wood for that rustic touch was executed with such finesse. Their technique and expertise in woodworking were apparent, and customers loved gathering around that impressive counter. I have to mention the custom-built shelving unit—they really knocked it out of the park. Their use of top-notch birch wood showcased their skill and dedication to their craft. The precision in constructing such a substantial piece demonstrated their technique and expertise in carpentry. It's not just functional; it's a standout feature that sets the tone for the entire store. Overall, I couldn't be happier with Mike’s work. The attention to detail, his extensive knowledge about carpentry, his technique and expertise in executing these elements truly elevated the store's ambiance. It's a welcoming space that captivated customers, and it's all thanks to his exceptional work. If you're seeking a contractor who combines craftsmanship, knowledge about carpentry, and a keen eye for detail, I highly recommend reaching out to Sassone Carpentry Mid Atlantic. They'll bring technique, expertise, and a personalized touch to your project that's hard to beat!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

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.
