"

We have a long, uphill driveway, a curved walkway, and a back deck.  Shawn Craig has been our "plow guy" this winter and we couldn't be happier with Craig Construction's service.  Our drive is neatly plow, the walkway cleared, and even a path to propane tank is kept accessible!  And yesterday, I asked late in the afternoon if they could shovel our back deck and they did it while clearing the driveway after Blizzard Juno!! I am very glad to be working this winter with Craig Construction.

"Jacked up the porch, framed and installed 3 doors, built stairs. This was all done to fit the architecture of a house built in 1880. Very professional and knowledgeable regarding repairs to an old house. Would definitely hire again. Highly recommended."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.

While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects.
