"Benn is always prompt and thorough. We honestly never have experienced anyone better. A year ago, we moved to Michigan and needed a trustworthy caretaker for the house and exterior. Having used Benn before, we entrusted everything to him while we tried to sell the house from afar. Benn was given keys to the house and studio. He not only managed everything but sent photos as well, reassuring us when were are 650 miles away. He was eyes and ears for any issues and most he could manage himself. When we needed him to meet with Real Estate Agents, he made himself available. When we needed him to return unused equipment to Spectrum, he did so. From painting to repair to building walkways to keeping the yard trimmed and free from weeds and bugs, Benn was there for us. I cannot give a higher recommendation."

Customers say: True professional

"The whole process went smoothly. He listens well to the client’s vision and artfully brought to life the look we were going for. He is not only a skilled carpenter but also has an artistic gift in his work. We wanted a custom made, easy to assemble, antiqued wood bed with a medieval flair. He drew up a plan and checked in with us through the whole process, offering his feedback and adjusting changes if needed. We merely had a theme in mind and he designed and built a work of art. The antiqued wood blends well with our other antiques but is far more durable. It’s a perfect blend of beauty and practicality. We highly recommend him for any carpentry project you might have, and we look foward to having him build more here."

"I would highly recommend Art Wood Designs. They did a fantastic job removing our old cabinets and countertop and then installing the new cabinets. They were very meticulous in everything they did and very professional. I am extremely happy with my new kitchen cabinets!!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

If you remove a load-bearing wall to create an entrance to a carport or covered patio, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,500, with an average cost of $6,400. Factors such as the type of addition and if that area needs additional work will add to the price.

The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.

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.

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.
