"He did a great job of replacing my front porch steps. He replaced with Trex decking. My steps were a little out of position and now they are straight and look wonderful. There was a nest of wasps under my porch. He fogged under the porch because they were too far back. When I need something else done I will definitely use him again. He was prompt and kept me informed. "

I started this company because I love the work, and my family time is more important than my previous career thought it was. My main focus is trim carpentry, but as you can see in the photos I'm capable of much more. I have a passion for doing the job right, I'm a firm believer in honesty, and I welcome all ideas and input-after all, in the end it's the clients project. Added bonus-I'm clean and dependable.

"He was hard working and very efficient. I would highly recommend him for any of your carpentry projects. He was a delight to have at the house."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

You can use a nail to find ceiling joists, but it’s not as reliable as a stud finder, and you’ll end up with lots of small holes in your ceiling. If the nail hits a joist, you'll feel increased resistance. Mark the spot with a pencil. Repeat this process regularly along the ceiling, 16 or 24 inches apart, until you've mapped out the joist locations.

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

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.
