"Nate does fantastic work. He has a unique method of repairing and replacing porch and window screen with custom built frames. He has excellent attention to detail with caulking and painting. I would use Nate for much more than screens. His price was also very fair, and he is prompt to respond and follows his schedule commitments."

"We have used a good amount of companies before, and continued to get the same result; no communication, always above budget, and never within the time frame discussed. Trevor and his team were the exact opposite of this. We never had any issues with communication, price, or time. We also have three small children and our project was fairly large. Trevor and his team took great care to make sure our children were comfortable, and most importantly, safe. 10 out of 10 will absolutely hire again."

"We had David's team build a new 16' X16' deck off our back porch for a Jacuzzi and install a new French door, leading out to the deck. First and of great important to us, David communicated regularly with us both before and after giving us a quote. We agreed on a start date and he and his team showed up on the agreed date and on time. His build team (Drew [foreman], Hunter and Tyler) were exceptional!! They worked carefully and consistently throughout the build. We were very impressed with the care and accuracy they took laying out the footings and making sure everything was strong, level and plumb. They even made sure not to get the deck muddy. One or two who worked on top, never went down into the muddy area under the deck. The designated "muddy" person fed them whatever they needed from below. The deck was "pristine" when they were done. The deck was built in Jan 2022, so we had a couple snow days, but they returned immediately after the roads cleared. The build took about 5 working days. We cannot overstate the professionalism. attention to detail and dependability of David and his crew!!! They have our highest recommendation."
"I had an excellent experience with this carpentry company. They came out to repair my subfloor and joists, and the quality of their work was fantastic. They were professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything along the way. I also really appreciated how respectful and courteous they were in my home. The repairs were done efficiently and with great attention to detail. I highly recommend them to anyone needing dependable, skilled carpentry work!"

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.
Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.
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.
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.
Stick frames, metal frames, or prefabricated concrete frames are included in framing a house, along with creating the framework and space for windows, doors, and entryways. Other aspects of developing a home—like drywall, insulation, windows, doors, and more—are not included in the cost to frame a house.
