"Recently had Quality Carpentry and Remodeling LLC build/replace the stairs on my deck, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From the very beginning, Tom was professional, communicative, and provided a clear, fair quote. He showed up exactly when he said he would and completed the project on time. The craftsmanship is outstanding—the stairs are incredibly sturdy, perfectly level, and look fantastic. He even made sure to clean up the work area completely before leaving. I highly recommend Quality Carpentry and Remodeling LLC to anyone needing quality deck work!"

"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!"

"Tim did an excellent job. House looks so much better without awnings and the new siding that was added in place of awnings looks really good. The new siding really cleaned up the front of the house. I'm really happy with Tim's work."

"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!"

"Jesse repaired/replaced some rotted deck timber that was low to the ground. It supported a hot tub privacy fence that was leaning. He also pointed out the defects from the initial installer that I appreciated! Would highly recommend!! Will be calling him back for some interior work."

"A contractor was to show up at 7 am but he was at our house by 6:45. He was ready to work, happy with the materials I had picked up from the hardware store, and went right to it. He pulled off all the siding on that part of the house (about 6' high), put up the backing board, reattached it, and applied caulk where it joined the roofline. He was done in about 3 hours. Our coupon was for 4 hours of work, which was the initial estimate but I didn't have anything else for him to do - he was a siding specialist and it showed in his efficiency and the quality of his work. Afterwards I inspected the job and it looked very good, much better than I could have done and in much less time. Every time we hire J.P. Frisch, we're reminded why we call the professionals to handle things like this."

"Job was completed in 1 day and could not be more pleased. They had me the customer in mind and were very reasonable with quote. They went beyond my expectations. The crew was very able and professional. I would recommend custom exteriors for any carpentry work needed. Very pleased."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.
