"Junior Lopez and his team at JR Carpentry did a great job building a ramp for our new shed, repairing our fence and creating a landscaping border. They showed up early, worked hard and paid close attention to every detail. I will definitely hire them again. If you’re looking for a reliable, hardworking handyman, Junior is your guy!"

"Adam did a great job with his wife. His attention to detail is excellent. In addition to painting, he will fix things ( rotted wood), do carpentry and replace items ( ie vents) around the house. He also has a really good eye for colors, will make suggestions to get you to think outside the box. He is a hard worker and a very nice guy!"
Painting - Exterior Project
All the cabinet doors are brought to our shop to be completely refinished in an environment where the paint can properly cure.
This 1940s home looks brand new, after a complete refinishing of the siding and trim, a flat finish for the siding, satin finish for the trim, and newly constructed trellises integrated into the corner boards.

"Kevin was great, he was very responsive on a Saturday and came to hang a new door for me the next day. The installation was more complicated than I originally anticipated. The hinges, deadbolt and door knob did not align with the existing cut outs. Kevin did a great job making the door look like it was pre-hung on the existing frame."

"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."

"I hired Torin Soares to build a shed extension for my barn to house feed and tack. It was refreshing for a contractor to ask for what I was looking for, rather than informing me what they would build. He took the time to lay out a template for me to see in person before pouring a concrete foundation to make sure there would be enough space for all of my supplies. Very easy to work with and very engaging in order to accommodate my needs. I would Highly recommend!"

"Teagan is the most professional and competent carpenter I’ve ever worked with. I went through some others from Home Advisor that were comical in how inept and terrible they were. Plank & Pine is the real deal: Responsive, honest, professional, capable. Very good to deal with. Price was quite fair for the work we needed."

"We hired Shawn/Boyd Building to complete an addition that included a new half bath and expansion of existing bathroom. Shawn displayed incredible craftsmanship while satisfying our creative ideas - including relatively complicated carpentry and unique designs. I would (and have) recommend Boyd Building to anyone looking for work done on their home."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.

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.

New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.
