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."

"He was able to understand the design with no formal plans and only charged us $500 to build and hang the fixture. It looks AMAzing!
Jose has also done a lot of work in our home to include a complete basement remodel, floor removal in two large rooms, rewired all of our plugs and fixtures, complete entry way renovation, ceramic/slate tile in 3 rooms, painted rooms, master bathroom renovation to include a complete gut of our old bathroom and installation of all replacements, and master bedroom renovation. He charged a fair price, met his commitments for timelines/completion, and his team left our home clean every day.
We are currently having plans drawn for our backyard landscaping and plan to use DC Handyman for the build and landscaping projects as well.
We highly recommend services with Jose in his team.

"Great company to work with from start to finish. From meeting Nick we were sold on the company, Ashley and Chase were very helpful and worked with us on many aspects of this build that we weren't knowledgable about. Crew that came out to do the work were respectable and friendly. 7th State will definitely be our choice for other projects around our home."

"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."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

The cost to frame a 2,000-square-foot house can fall anywhere between $14,000 and $32,000. This price can increase or decrease depending on what type of framing you choose, the quality of the materials, the project's complexity, and whether you decide to hire a professional to do the job.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

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. 

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.
