"Large deck project, re-build/replacement of railing boards and flooring. Nathan and his assistant were outstanding. Nathan was very respectful, thorough in his descriptions of work being done. Organized in materials ordering and on-site placement; excellent clean-up at end of each day. Communicated via phone and text in timely manner, good follow-up to my questions. Worked parts of two days in pouring rain and very hot temps to keep things moving. I recommended him to my two neighbors. R3 is “customer service” in action! Very refreshing experience. Plan to use again. Thanks, Nathan."

"Needed fencing installed to keep groundhogs from taking up residence under our deck. Brady came up with a creative and complete solution that made sure the varmints were out and would not return. Would use again."

"We had the pleasure of working with Mr. Casey on various carpentry projects, even a custom treehouse project, and we couldn’t be more satisfied with the results. From start to finish, he demonstrated exceptional craftsmanship, attention to detail, and a genuine commitment to quality. The finished product exceeded our expectations—sturdy, beautifully constructed, and built to last. Even more impressive was the affordability of the project, especially considering the high level of workmanship involved. We highly recommend Mr. Casey to anyone looking for quality construction at a fair price."

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.

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.

The cost to frame a 2,000-square-foot house can fall anywhere between $14,000 and $32,000. This price can increase or decrease depending on what type of framing you choose, the quality of the materials, the project's complexity, and whether you decide to hire a professional to do the job.

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 a basement takes three to five days, on average, when completed by a professional, though it may take longer for a larger space. Keep in mind this doesn’t include the time to complete the design, obtain permits, and install the drywall on the framing. On average, fully finishing a basement takes an average of 45 days.
