"Gaby is excellent. He quoted my job accurately and honestly. He worked quickly and effectively- and was done in the time he had predicted. His work is stellar- we are so happy with our deck. He is also so kind and wonderful to have around. I highly recommend Gaby- I will use him again for all my carpentry needs. He is an excellent carpenter!!"

"Kevin did a fantastic job installing double wide storm doors at my home. He was professional beginning with his first response to my email, keeping me apprised on the door order status, and then promptly scheduled the install once the doors were in. The door instructions were not user friendly, but Kevin got the job done professionally and everything looks fantastic. I would hire On the Mark Carpentry again and have referred him to a neighbor who was looking for a quality, experienced carpenter."

"Had several small outdoor carpentry projects needing repair, but project delayed until spring due to early snows in December. As soon as snows mostly gone, immediately contacted me to set up repair dates. All repairs completed within two days and to my satisfaction. Would hire again."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.

Yes, professionals can install new frames, trim, and threshold adjustments for a complete finish.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

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.
