"I had this company replace a 12 step staircase and landing off my sunroom at the back of my home. They did an outstanding job very professional. It was very apparent that the owner is a professional carpenter with years of experience his communication about the project. The materials being gonna be used was excellent from the initial email telephone calls contract could not have asked for a smoother project to get completed in a timely fashion. He checked in with me daily about the projects progress and discussed options before making his own decision but any suggestion he would make was perfect for the job at the end of each day he took the time to clear up the debris from my property and take it away. I would say a true professional in every aspect of being a great carpenter as a plus he’s also a very nice person which is a refreshing change. I strongly recommend this company for any carpentry project. You might be thinking of doing."

"Homexpert Contractor, Mauricio Flavio, was great. He replaced a piece of aluminum facia that was blown off by a windstorm. But more importantly, he correctly diagnosed a problem concerning the baseboard on my siding pulling away from the foundation that other contractors had missed. He made the repair and there is no indication a problem ever existed. I am very pleased with his work and would definitely use him again."

"Tim did a good job. The garage door frame replacement and siding replacement both look good. He also reconnected the drooping sides of the porch roof where cracking had occurred, taped and plastered over that to create a more firm connection."

"Very well! So much of the wood on our porch needed to be replaced and he was very helpful in knowing and getting what we needed to finish the project. He kept us informed on the progress and asked our opinion on how we wanted things to look. All the work was done in a few days and it all turned out looking great!"

"Matt is fantastic! I hired him to do some carpentry work. I know nothing about such things, and he made sure to explain everything—what he recommended, different things he could do, why he was doing certain things—and he included me in every step of the process. In addition, he is very responsive and communicates really well and PROMPTLY! He takes his work seriously, and it shows. I’ll definitely be hiring him again, and I highly recommend him!"

Customers say: Quick response

"Jake's carpentry expertly replaced a porch railing that had rotted. He made sure that he found the exact wooden rail cap to match the rest of the woodwork, and priced it fairly. He finished the job in under 90 minutes. It was a pleasure to chat with him while he worked. He'll be returning to paint it, and I will gladly turn to him for any carpentry work in the future."

"Mostly swapping out electrical outlets.  However, additional tasks included switching out drain pipes under a sink and building a railing for an exterior staircase.  We had a long list.  It went very well.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.
