Hello, my name is Aaron, and I'm a 4th generation carpenter, starting back nearly 100 years ago, with my great grandpa Oscar, a cabinet maker in northern, rural NY. I am licensed and insured and have been given an A+ rating by the Better Business Bureau. Our company slogan is "if you're not happy, we're not done yet". Our goal is to be your go to home improvement provider, and hopefully, for you to refer us to family and friends as well. In order to achieve that goal, we strive to do quality work at an affordable price and we stand behind everything we do. Our area of expertise is residential remodeling. This is what we SPECIALIZE in! Many other companies know how to do things in a new construction setting, but they don't have the decades of experience working on old houses like we do! Our years of experience working on old homes gives us the foresight to ensure your job will be done correctly, and as efficiently as possible, without creating problems for you down the road, or incurring unneeded expenses. If you have a project you need help on, please please give us a call! We are looking forward to helping you out! P.S. Angileads charges alot of money to contact customers on here, so if you just have questions, or not sure if you want to start a project, don't create a lead, look me up on Google or Facebook instead and I'll be happy to chat about what you're dealing with. Thanks

"Aaron Titus did a beautiful job in a timely manner. He was pleasant to work with and went above and beyond the scope of the job to ensure we were pleased,"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.

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. 

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

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.
