"Mark and his crew went above and beyond what we had hoped. He provided skilled design advice, advised us on available materials, and listened carefully to our requests, always ready if necessary to say you really don t want to do it that way. The whole crew was easy to work with and we highly recommend any or all of them if you re building or refurbishing decking."

"My husband is no longer able to do the maintenance on our house, or advise me. There was rotting trim wood, that needed to be replaced, at the roofline of our house. I contacted Angie on a Sunday nite. The next day owner Roland called me, we met the next day. He was able to fit in the needed repairs 1 day later and take a piece of wood to the paint store to match the color. The result looks perfect!!"

"Mr. Robbins was the only one of the 3 builders I contacted that even cared enough OR had the courtesy to respond to me. I was lucky he did. His work is excellent and we couldnâ t be more pleased with the finished product. No need to look any further. We have found our builder/carpenter. I highly recommend."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

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.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

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.

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.
