"They showed up on time each day, were very knowledgeable of the work they performed. Showed up for the quote when we scheduled the first meeting and we were very impressed with the overall experience. The deck they built was spot on and perfect for our needs. They did make some recommendations as to how it would look and work better for us and we went with their decisions and are so happy and impressed. They were very neat about their work and very easy to talk with. I would never use anyone else, and HIGHLY RECOMMEND them for whatever you need. So great to work with."

"We bought our first home this year and absolutely love it, but we quickly learned it needed more TLC than we realized. We could see rot on our exterior trim and clapboards, plus a missing gable vent. From the very beginning, Shawn impressed us. His estimate was incredibly thorough, and it was clear he’s a true professional. As new homeowners, we felt confident putting our home in his hands. We are so fortunate we hired him. Shawn showed up early, worked late, and demonstrated meticulous attention to detail in everything he did. When we discovered the rot was far more extensive than we thought, he never made us feel stressed or overwhelmed—he walked us through our options, offered solutions, and helped us make the right decisions for our home. The quality of his work speaks for itself, but just as important, his communication, reliability, and integrity made the experience exceptional. We will be working with Shawn for all of our home’s needs. We actually missed him when he left ! "

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.

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.

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.

A bow window costs up to $15,000 to install in total. Materials cost anywhere from $1,200 to more than $14,000, and labor is an additional $300 to $1,900. Bow window costs vary based on the size of the window and the frame material. You’ll spend more for custom features or energy-efficient upgrades, too. For comparison, bay window installation costs about $1,000 to $7,000.
