"We interviewed 5 general contractors for our kitchen renovation and first floor remodel (floors/paint, etc). From the get-go, Ralph and Carl were knowledgeable and responsive. That continued through the length of our project. They answered our every question, led us through the process and ensured our satisfaction at every step. They maintained a clean work site, kept the schedule as promised and have deep relationships with their subcontractors that were evident in the quality of the work performed. They also bring a sense of humor and levity to a stressful but exciting project! We will be hiring them again. Thanks, Ralph & Carl"

"Geo and his team recently performed exterior repair work on my home to fix rotting wood along corners and gables. The work was extensive and very detailed. The work was thorough and of the highest quality. We were extremely happy and satisfied with the repairs Geo and his crew performed. The work wasn’t easy, the front of the house sits on a tall sloping hill where ladders need to go. His team handled this wonderfully and kept the landscaping intact. From the initial estimate until the final walk-through Geo was courteous and professional and gave meaningful suggestions about which materials to use and where the issues were. It felt more like a close collaboration than just some “contractors”. It was greatly appreciated. We will definitely be using Geo again for future projects."

"This remodel is the best remodel I’ve ever had done. The contractors were on time, they kept me informed about everything or changes, and they cleaned up immaculately when they left. I will definitely hire them for my next remodel."

"Highly recommend and would hire again! Angela and the Make it Happen team was the first to respond to my Anji request, the first to come and assess my framing and insulation needs, and the only one I had to hire to complete my entire project. Angela has a large team with multiple levels of expertise. I started with framing and insulation because, to be honest, I had just been ghosted by another contractor mid-project and was trying to wrap my head around a way forward. The Make it Happen team did such an amazing, professional job -- and literally started the day after we hired them -- that I asked if they had time to help me with the rest. They said yes and literally made it happen. From that day on they worked at my house daily until it was done. They did drywall, doors, windows, paint, trim, floors, stairs, and appliance install. They showed up on time, stayed until done, cleaned up daily, answered all calls, were at all inspections, and priced fairly. So grateful! Highly recommend!"

"We were so impressed with the Odyssey team from start to finish. Caleb was very thorough in explaining the details of the roofing project, and he was always accessible when we had questions throughout the process. When they came to do the roofing work, they were very considerate and hard-working. Frank and Carlos were very personable and professional. When we had concerns, they addressed them right away. I highly recommend Odyssey Contracting and would not hesitate to call them again when we have a construction project. Thanks for your excellent service!"

"I was highly pleased with Clarke's work. Before arriving, he had selected cabinet-quality plywood for the repaired cabinet bottom. He worked very efficiently and the finished job had a very professional appearance. I wouldn't change a thing about Clarke's work and I enjoy seeing the results several times a day. Also, setting up the appointment was very easy. Especially, after calling a couple of handymen who never returned my call. I definitely will call Handyman of Western Wake the next time I need a repair."

"These guys are top notch! So many positive things to say. We have hired Leon for multiple renovation projects in our 1960's midcentury modern home. We hired him after having a negative experience with another contractor who we had to fire in the middle of a remodeling project. We have said many times we wish we found Leon sooner. Chris Leon the owner is very responsive and gives reasonable prices for top quality work. These guys do it all- painting, flooring, electrical, plumbing, drywall and details, details, details. Chris is very trustworthy and even suggested ways for us to save money, instead of just encouraging us to spend as much as possible like many other contractors do. Even after being paid for all the work he came out to our house to make slight modifications at our request. His contractors are all very polite and hard-working. We felt very comfortable having the team around in our house with our family. People who see our house want to know where we had such great work done!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

It's possible to turn your carport into a living space, but there are additional factors to address over turning it into a garage. HVAC, plumbing, and electricity won't be optional, and you'll need finished flooring, drywall, trim work, and legal ceiling height, for starters. Also, keep in mind that living space conversions may require upgrading the foundation underneath, and the permits might be more expensive as well.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.
