"First of all there is no category for stairs, which is what we had done. They took out the builders grade dilapidated boards and installed beautiful oak. I've not seen a level of craftsmanship or pride in workmanship as we got with Art's Finish Carpentry. The job came out better than I could have ever imagined. The crew was here, on time every day: Finished on time , every day. They completely finished in about 4 days. A complete switchback (u turn) style staircase, with two landings. They were so kind they even cut the carpet back in the hallway upstairs, installed oak nosing (to connect the balusters) and then made sure the carpet was perfectly reset in it's new position. This after we told them we were eventually replacing the carpet. They were just amazing. If you have hired anyone else, fire them. Call Art. If you are looking for someone -- I couldn't recommend anyone more highly than this company. I wish I could add pictures here; go check out my Google review for pictures."

"They are not the cheapest, but they are by far the most expensive. You get what you pay for. You would be crazy not to hire Tim, Nick and the team. Had framing issues which made my new home unlivable in the guest bedrooms. Tim and his team came through and took all of the anxiety away from my wife and I and fixed our framing in 2 days flat. Again, you would be crazy not to hire these guys. They are simply the best."

"I tried for several years to repair our worn out deck. I didn't get far at all and only demolished a portion of the deck. We got a decent tax refund this year and decided to get it done by somebody that knows what they're doing. Using Angie's List, we got four competitive bids to do the work. Deckpeckers was the most reasonable. We're very glad we chose Deckpeckers. They completed the work in good time, and now we will enjoy the summer on the deck. Very good people to work with and we highly recommend them. Excellent value for the lowest cost. It's hard to beat that."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

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.

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.

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.

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.
