"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"

"Billy was very professional when giving suggestions and listening to my idea for my deck railing. My deck had been torn apart since May of this year and the joist were starting to warp and the original installer had never put flashing next to the house. Billy worked miracles at every turn. I wanted to move the steps from where they were originally and that posed a big issue as well. Nonetheless he worked until he found a suitable solution. He was very reasonable on the price! I’m so pleased with the finished product for my budget!! Thank you Junkin Bros. Will call again!"

"Carlos with Red Bird did an excellent job building our wall. He was very responsive throughout the process and kept us informed every step of the way. When some subcontractors failed to show up, Carlos didn’t make excuses — he showed up himself and made sure the work was done right. The quality of the finished wall is beautiful and exceeded our expectations. I’d highly recommend Red Bird and Carlos to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality work."

"Highly recommend. I had several repairs needed around my house. Gault met with me within one day, carefully reviewed all of my items, and provided thoughtful perspectives. I expressed that one repair was particularly urgent and Gault worked with me to have the work performed the very next day. The work was done with very high quality and professionalism. I am very satisfied and look forward to potential future engagements. The urgent work we had done was replacing a load bearing 6x6 leg on my screened-in porch."

"Troy and Matt did a fantastic job framing and installing custom surround for a new fireplace and prepping for the install of a barn door on the guest bathroom. TJ did a good job gutting an office and prepping and painting. I would without a drought hire them again and actually have some projects for next spring"

"This company totally exceeded my hopes and expectations from the beginning of the project to the end. From a very thoughtful and thorough proposal and vision to the execution and completion, I could not be happier with the work done and the care and professionalism that was shown throughout the entire experience. These are the hardest working group of landscapers I have ever seen- they worked ALL day, for days, and did everything meticulously and with perfection in mind. They trimmed an out of control tree, installed an incredibly impressive and needed drainage system under my patio, and then beautified the space with the pavers and a rock garden! I’m so excited to spend my summers out on my patio paradise now!!! Do not think twice about hiring Green Heron to take care of all your outdoor needs!! You will NOT be disappointed and your outside space will be the envy of the whole neighborhood!!! Very affordable and professional and the quality of work will amaze you. Thank you!!!!!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.

Enhances property value, ensures safety, and provides a sound basis for future construction.

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. 

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.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.
