"They started and completed the work in the exact time frame given when hired. Gave good advice and did quality work. The estimate was pretty accurate, even with a few snags along the way. Both workers were easy to deal with and I felt comfortable with them in my home. I'm glad I went with them on a whim after reading a glowing review on our local Facebook page. I couldn't be more pleased."

"I really liked JD. Thought the price was high for what I had done. I also asked for a quote to hang drywall and he said it was high due to two guys and two days work in case it took that long but he said cost of materials was $200 but the whole price was $3,300! The demo is already done so I don t know why labor would be so much! This is why I don t know if I would recommend them."

"I highly recommend contracting with Guy Green. He converted a 1952 pantry room under the basement stairs to an attractive half bathroom. Guy is knowledgeable from experience, reliable, considerate and easy to work with. He pays attention to detail. Due to the structure of our house, some plans needed revision. We always went with his recommendations. Itâ s easy to see he takes pride in his work. I couldnâ t be happier."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

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.
