"Had several small outdoor carpentry projects needing repair, but project delayed until spring due to early snows in December. As soon as snows mostly gone, immediately contacted me to set up repair dates. All repairs completed within two days and to my satisfaction. Would hire again."

"Phil, Pat, and Trevor worked at our home repairing siding, trim, and framing for 7 weeks. Phil is nothing less than the Sherlock Holmes of home repair. He Is able to see things most others wouldn't and repair everything until it looks brand new. He is highly intelligent, passionate, and meticulous in his work. Phil sent us pictures and video of problem spots and explained everything to us as he went. His work ethic is impeccable and we were so happy with everything that was done. His team was amazing. Pat was an incredibly hard worker and so respectful of us and our property. Pat did an amazing job. Trevor worked along with them and we were very impressed with how hard he worked. He also did an amazing job. Clearly both Pat and Trevor make a great additions to Phil's team. There were many mistakes that the original builder made and although seemingly small they caused a huge amount of damage over the years. When Phil left we told him it was as good as new, though actually it is better than new. We were so happy to have them at our home and when all was said and done, they left our home much, much better than they found it. It was a pleasure doing business with them and we would highly recommend them to anyone that needs their services."

"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."

Customers say: Quick response

"We were extremely pleased with the outcome of Teagan's very high quality craftsmanship. We had an ugly old brick fireplace that, with his guidance, has become a refreshing "work of art." Teagan was the first carpenter we interviewed and we instantly felt he was the man for out job because he spoke so knowledgeably, made us aware of things to consider, and even provided the name of quality business to locate the desired stonework we wanted. Not only did he create a beautiful wood mantel and surround with nice architectural details, but his stonework was impeccable. Teagan stayed in close contact with us and completed the job ahead of schedule. We can't praise him or his work more highly and wholeheartedly endorse him for any project anyone's considering. We would absolutely hire him again if the need arose. Thank you Teagan for making our long overdue dream come true."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

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.

The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.

You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.
