"Kevin was great, he was very responsive on a Saturday and came to hang a new door for me the next day. The installation was more complicated than I originally anticipated. The hinges, deadbolt and door knob did not align with the existing cut outs. Kevin did a great job making the door look like it was pre-hung on the existing frame."

"Brendan did a great job on assembling four pieces wood furniture. He had to construct a wood part that was missing from the materials. It turned out to be rather complex work and we appreciated his attention to detail. Hope we can work with him again!"

"Casabella Home Improvement did an amazing job with our deck and front steps. Flavio is very responsive, thorough, and professional. He ensured everything was cleaned up after the job and even offered to bring a couple of extra items to the dump for us. We are very happy and would definitely work with him again!"

"Gavin and his crew did an excellent job on tearing our old deck off (that was falling in on itself) and replaced it with a beautiful deck at a reasonable price. We had some on unforeseen rot but he took care of it before I even knew about it. They all were very polite and they worked from the time they got there till the time they left. There was no standing around every two minutes to take a smoke break. In the end we upgraded some things and paid a little more than what was quoted but it was all worth it for the end product. Thank you to Gavin and his crew for giving us a deck our family will enjoy for years to come. 👏😊"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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

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.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

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.

Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.
