My business is to perform many types of repairs, improvements and maintenance of homes. No worries if they are interior or exterior projects. I take care of your home like it is my own. I am still taking care of homes of clients I have known for over 30 years. I welcome the opportunity to attend to your home's needs.

"5 star rating 7/8/2025 I had an exterior painting job for trim on an old house. I interviewed a few people but Jeff stood out by asking all the right questions and making intelligent suggestions as we went over the project details. I could tell he understood I was interested in a quality job. We kept in contact between the initial free consultation and the date he had scheduled with us. He even did some requested investigation on paints before the job even started. When the time came to do the job he showed up and went to work. I noticed he was always thinking and asking questions when he identified something that he thought I might want him to do. The job was completed with very high quality work and cleanliness. He went out of his way to work with our schedule. He was not the least expensive but I believe he was a good value. I am in the process of trying to identify more complex jobs that I could have him do to take advantage of his wide range of skills."

"I could not be happier with the job Tim and John did installing new windows.

Couldn’t ask for a better experience and outcome., I can’t recommend Tim enough."

Carpenters cut, measure and shape lumber in useful ways. Working from a master plan, they create wooden structures, piece by piece. Their work involves mastering a wide variety of hand and power tools. Some of the work they do involves cutting wood using chisels, planes, saws and sanders.

"The first picture is our family deck before and the second is after. I could not recommend Norsemen Construction enough! The founder is extremely reliable and reasonable, they are willing to make sure you get what you are looking for and then some. They had also done two door replacements for us, beautiful work. We will be contacting Norsemen in the future!"

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.

Stick frames, metal frames, or prefabricated concrete frames are included in framing a house, along with creating the framework and space for windows, doors, and entryways. Other aspects of developing a home—like drywall, insulation, windows, doors, and more—are not included in the cost to frame a house.

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.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.
