"Tammy and David are wonderful, kind people who are expert in what they do! I met them at a time when I needed a kitchen remodel. My new refrigerator was lonely and needed cabinets around it. I explained what I wanted and, most important to me, they listened! I also had a cabinet that enclosed the old frig...I wanted that one to house my microwave on the upper portion with slide out shelves on the lower. As a matter of fact, I wanted sliding shelves around the new frig too. Later that evening, Tammy sent a computer graphic of the final product after I asked for a change in design...I approved it and they were on their way! Tammy and David had the necessary information and promised two weeks for installation to occur. Exactly two weeks from our first meeting, they began the installation; a day later, it was completed! The cabinets are absolutely beautiful, a testament to their expertise! I am beyond ecstatic every time I see them! Additionally, I should mention that my home is old with floors that do not always demonstrate the word level! They compensated for that in their design; in fact, there was still a slight problem with the refrigerator after the install...it was leaning backwards. I texted them about it. They came over, after some very busy hours of working on another project, to make sure the frig was level. When David said that they weren't leaving until this problem was solved, I knew I had chosen the best people. The problem was corrected and I couldn't be happier. Besides being incredible carpenters, they are good, caring people! They make a great team...I wholeheartedly recommend them! Thank you Tammy and David!"

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.
While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.
When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.
Bow windows need support because they are large and extend out from the exterior wall of the home. Bow windows may extend 1 foot to several feet from the outside of the home, so you’ll need to provide additional support to handle this weight. A window contractor will be able to provide the proper amount of support for your new bow window.
There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.
