"David and crew were fantastic! They were very thorough, organized, reliable and professional. What we appreciated most was that David was a perfectionist, thought of everything and took care of little details that we didn’t even ask about. David, you are truly a joy to work with and an exceptionally skilled carpenter. We will use you for all of our future home renovations! Allison"

"I found Al through Nextdoor.com. He called back quickly to make an appointment for a measure and quote. He was ontime, made a model of what was to be done on his computer and printed a picture to show me what he was planning to do. He is very thorough with details. If you need a professional skilled carpenter please give Al a call. You wonâ  t regret it."

"To say Chris and his team of expert carpenters "repaired and replaced" our sad, worn out deck is an understatement. What was a neglected deck of age is now a refreshed deck and boardwalk ready to welcome (safely) our neighbors, friends and family to enjoy the upcoming warm seasons lakeside. Chris and his team completed the project on time and on budget (with a few exceptions to uncovering unknown water damage - and even so, being very reasonable for the extra costs and labor). We would absolutely trust Chris and his team to do it all again, and so should you. Thanks, Chris!"

"Sal and his assistant did an awesome job! I was impressed that Sal arrived 20 minutes early, moved the assembled furniture to where I wanted them, and left my home office immaculate. Both men were professional, pleasant, and efficient. I would definitely hire him again and recommend Sal's Contracting to anyone needing furniture assembled."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

A few signs that you need a new door frame include:

  • The door no longer fits properly in its frame and sticks or scrapes.

  • You notice cracks, holes, or rotting.

  • You feel a draft coming from around the door when it’s closed.

  • You find yourself frequently needing to make repairs.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

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.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

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.
