"Mendez Construction Company did an absolutely phenomenal job building our horizontal fence. It turned out stunning and completely exceeded our expectations. The work was done quickly, on time, and with great attention to detail. Santo was incredibly easy to work with, communicative throughout the entire process, and offered fair, transparent pricing. What truly stood out was their dedication. They worked through tough winter conditions to make sure the project was completed by the deadline, and that level of commitment is rare and greatly appreciated. Santo does so much more than fencing, and after this experience, I plan to use Mendez Construction for all of my future household projects. If you’re looking for quality craftsmanship, reliability, and a team that genuinely cares about their work, I highly recommend Mendez Construction Company."

"Arrived on time, went to the base of the chimney and identified hole on flashing in less than 10 minutes. Spent about 45 minutes making repairs. Opened small hole in second floor drywall next to chimney chase and identified water stain. Will leave open for a few weeks to test repair. Owner called to check on progress before carpenter left. He swept up in the room before leaving. I would not hesitate to use this service again."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

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.

You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.

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. 

A few signs that you need a new door frame include:

  • The door no longer fits properly in its frame and sticks or scrapes.

  • You notice cracks, holes, or rotting.

  • You feel a draft coming from around the door when it’s closed.

  • You find yourself frequently needing to make repairs.
