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

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

Homeowners can increase the usefulness of their garage space in other ways, and one option is to extend the length of the garage by making it deeper. The process is similar to traditional garage extensions, but the end product is a garage with a different layout rather than additional parking spaces. 

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.

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.
