"Excellent job! It was clear they are experienced carpenters and painters and take pride in producing quality results. Brothers Carpentry and Paint replaced one exterior door with framing and replaced several interior doors. This included new knobs and for some doors, new hinges. They also painted many of the interior doors. They also made some sheet rock and baseboard repairs for us. Carlos was wonderful to work with, professional and patiently answered any questions I had. Will definitely call them for future projects and would highly recommend them!"

"Hire this man already. I have had so many nightmare stories dealing with other so called handymen but Allen really knows his stuff. He did the jobs as requested didn't waste time was very friendly, efficient, and tidy. I read a lot of the reviews on here prior to hiring him and I will say I read a few saying something about him being pricey so that did make me nervous. I will say the people writing that probably haven't had quality work done very recently because his prices are very fair for the work he does. I"

"Alan and his team made our deck dreams come true! Our new deck was built in under a weeks time. His team was so efficient and we were amazed at how quickly his team worked. Alan listened to our initial ideas, provided suggestions and ultimately produced just what we were looking for on schedule and on budget. Thank you!!"

"Chris Miller came to my home and provided an estimate for cleaning and staining my deck.  He helped me explore options, like removing the remnants of a mostly-removed layer of surface stain that a previous owner had put on and partially taken off, matching the color of the remaining stain so as to save money by avoiding the expense of removal, etc.  He also advised me about what was realistic for treatment of the concrete patio below the deck.  Chris was knowledgeable and helpful.  He didn't pressure me to do anything more expensive than necessary, in fact encouraged me that we could try to match the remaining stain and if necessary do the removal and update the stain treatment later on.  He offered to include treatment of the portion of the concrete patio that most needed it at a reduced price as part of the job.  The price he quoted was fair, I believe, though it turned out to be higher than I can afford at the moment, given the press of some other expenses I'm facing, so I did not have them do the work.  If I need deck treatment in the future though, particularly when I have more available funds, I will seriously consider having them do the work.  Based on my interaction with Chris, and with the nice lady in the office named Aaliya, I would recommend them.

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Installing an ornamental or decorative porch column takes around three to five hours. Structural columns take longer because your pro has to install a jack to hold up the roof while switching the column out. If there's any structural damage, it can add several days to the timeline to repair the damage.

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.

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.
