"Conlan and his crew did a great job! He was onboard and helpful with changes I wanted to make during the building process. He was very professional and work was completed in a timely manner…they even worked in the rain. They cleaned up every bit of debris from the job and left me with a beautiful new deck ready to use. Good quality work is hard to come by these days at an affordable price, but there was no price gouging from his company. I highly recommend Shoreline and would use them again!"

"We hired 603 Contractingfor an addition project and couldn’t be happier with the result. From the initial planning through completion, the work was well-organized, professional, and done to a high standard. Communication was clear throughout the project, timelines were realistic, and any questions or changes were handled promptly and fairly. The craftsmanship and attention to detail really showed, and the job site was kept clean and safe during construction. The project was completed as expected, and the final result exceeded our expectations. I would absolutely recommend this contractor to anyone considering an addition or major home improvement project and would not hesitate to work with them again."

"Well although Ray did a nice job we paid $5055 to get our railings and stair treads done. Had to purchase our own wood putty, had to remove our own debris otherwise would have been charged another $125, we went to the dump and paid $26.00. The paint that we paid for he would not leave behind for us to touch up. Also charged me another $30.00 for paint before walking out the door, yet didn't get rest of can of paint, Wanted wainscoting paneling put up with molding was told it would cost another $375.00. My Husband finished it up and did a beautiful job. I know that he has to make a living, however could have been a little more giving to us since he ruined our brand new driveway we just had done in June of this year by getting oil on it from his van and couldn't even leave us a can of paint??? Took 2 weeks to complete from time he started doing work. Like I said meticulous yes but definitely runs on his own time. I would recommend him, but beware of other little hidden fees."

"Jared is a professional and very experienced in his craft. I had him replace my window frames at my house and not only did he do a fantastic job, he left the job site clean and exactly how it was when he started with the window frames completed. I will be having him come out to do my deck in the spring as well and look forward to working with him again. Thank you Jared for all your hard work. I highly recommend him for your home projects."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

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. 

Traditionally, bungalows are single-story homes, although having a half or partial story on top of the first floor is common. While adding a second story to a bungalow is certainly possible, the home would no longer be considered a bungalow by the strictest definition.
