"Jay built a floating dock/pier for us. The quality of the work done is very good. Jay researched the different companies that have floating docks and gave us a detailed proposal/contract. He uses quality materials and was very precise in constructing the dock/pier. He communicated with us throughout the process. He is a true professional in that he kept to his set work schedule and finished ahead of the projected timeline. We are very pleased with the whole project, enjoyed working with him, and highly recommend Jay."

"Jimmy came the day after we talked and gave us a very reasonable quote. He finished the job, doing everything we asked, and the only delay was rain on the day he planned to paint the exterior."

"First impressions are extremely important to me, if you own a business and want to make it a success first impressions are a must. I called Mr Taylor on a Monday and told him I had a deck that was completely rotten and I was in desperate need of replacement. He asked if he could come tomorrow???? What? Out of the 5 other contractors I called Mr Taylor was the only person who came within 24 hours and kept his word. I knew he was a hour away but I was thankful my issue (hopefully) would soon be resolved. Mr Taylor drove up in a spotlessly clean truck, dressed professionally and shook my hand. I showed him the rotten deck he gave me a quote (which was $4000 LESS than one other contractor) and said he would send his two guys tomorrow (which by the way was a Saturday) . My face kind of dropped and said "great" I'll be waiting for you. So Saturday morning comes both gentleman show up right on time knock the job out in one day and it was PERFECT! I would use Mr Taylor and his crew for any carpentry job I needed. Thank you again Mr Taylor it was a joy meeting you and I very much appreciate the impeccable work."

"Super reasonable. I've called GC several times for different estimates on different things. Very quick to respond, check it out, give me an estimate and even complete the job in a day or two. GC has been doing work for my mother for a while also. We trust them."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

The cost to install a bow window can range from $1,500 to $15,000, with a national average of $3,900. The total price includes materials, which can cost between $1,200 and over $14,000, and labor, which typically adds $300 to $1,900. Several factors influence the final cost, including the window's size and frame material. For example, vinyl frames are the most budget-friendly option, while wood frames are more expensive. Custom features or energy-efficient upgrades will also increase the price. For comparison, a bay window installation typically costs between $1,000 and $7,000.
