"One of the best decisions I've made this year was to hire Advance Building Repairs to replace my dilapidated front steps. Salah is a master craftsman. He came to my house the same day I called and assessed the situation. One week after I contacted him I had a sturdy, attractive and comparatively inexpensive new set of front steps."

"Derek created two bedrooms out of one large bedroom. From framing to drywall to creating closets to all the trim work. Hired him to also finish off a lower level recreation room. Also added closet and full bathroom. Did all the framing and drywall. All the trim work. Found his work exceptional so hired Derek to remodel our master bathroom and 2nd bathroom. Outstanding work! Very pleased! Would highly recommend Derek Hansen for any remodeling work or custom work that needs to be done."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

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. 

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

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.
