"Gaby helped us remodel our kitchen. We wanted to keep our existing custom cabinets but modernize the appearance. Gaby transformed the look from a country style kitchen to a more modern, crisp design by: -extending the cabinets about 10” to the ceiling, and adding molding and trim work -replacing faux legs in our island and cooking area with clean edges -building custom decorative panels for the island and columns -removing a cabinet to make room for a beverage center -countless repairs and fixes Gaby also coordinated painting - both the cabinets and the ceiling/walls, and painted over 50 cabinet doors/drawers himself. The painting turned out absolutely beautiful and professional - as if the cabinets were white from the beginning. He also coordinated many of the other jobs, including recommending an electrician for us who was also very reliable and professional. In many ways, he acted like a GC for us in addition to a carpenter. Can’t say enough about Gaby. He is an outstanding, meticulous carpenter. He knows his stuff in and out. He is reliable, prompt, efficient, reasonable, and goes above and beyond to deliver amazing results. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone and already planning other carpentry projects with him in mind. A+, 10/10, fabulous to work with. Thank you Gaby!"

"Jonathan King (LTD) provided a great experience for me! As a condo owner, i replaced 450 sq feet of rugs with red oak flooring, and 2 sets of stairs. Jonathan was up front in setting expectations, for timing, my responsibilities. I enjoyed being part of the process, picking out flooring and paint for the trim, he also assisted in replacing some closet doors. He had to deal with the quirks of my Kessler Farm Condo in building the stairs but overcame all obstacles. As a carpenter, he came fully equipped to make changes on the fly, he removed all the materials, rugs, matting and any construction residue. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for quality work, with a great small business."

"We hired 603 Construction during Covid to build an addition on our home, and the result completely transformed how we live in the space, especially our kitchen, which has become the heart of our home and an incredible gathering place for family and friends. Like any major project (especially during Covid), there were challenges along the way, but Mike and team handled them and delivered a final product that has created lasting memories for my family and friends. Great group of guys that work hard to deliver! Highly recommend!!"

"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."

"Hiring Green Nature Homes /Mike and Aime George, turned out to be a very good decision for us! Every step of the project was made easy because of Mike’s willingness to listen and understand how and what we wanted done and his commitment to creating two new beautiful areas in our home. We absolutely love our new enlarged main bathroom, and by removing a 20 foot wall in between our dining room and living room, we now have one open, large beautiful space that we’ve been dreaming about having for many years! All of the other people Mike brought in to help complete our projects, were wonderful as well. Again, we could not be more pleased with his commitment/s to us and the work he did on our home. Mike was consistently on time, always very respectful of us and our property, called us back with any questions we had, in a very timely manner and rectified any small issues we did have, also in a timely quick manner, resolving them completely and to our satisfaction.. Also, Aime George, the company’s office manager, made all my apprehension and nervousness disappear, almost immediately, upon first meeting her. She is extremely good at what she does and is so helpful and knowledgeable with anything and everything that you may have questions about or need help with. I don’t think we will even interview any other construction companies in the future for anything we’re going to have done. We will just call Green Nature Homes!!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.

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.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them.
