"Gaby is excellent. He quoted my job accurately and honestly. He worked quickly and effectively- and was done in the time he had predicted. His work is stellar- we are so happy with our deck. He is also so kind and wonderful to have around. I highly recommend Gaby- I will use him again for all my carpentry needs. He is an excellent carpenter!!"

"Kevin was a complete professional, and handled every aspect of the job, including several coats of paint. We especially appreciated that he left the paint behind, in case we need to mend the doors in the future. We love the new doors he installed, and they fit perfectly. He cleaned the work area, and left no debris behind. If we need any carpentry, we will definitely contact him."

"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."

"Conlan and his crew did a great job! He was onboard and helpful with changes I wanted to make during the building process. He was very professional and work was completed in a timely manner…they even worked in the rain. They cleaned up every bit of debris from the job and left me with a beautiful new deck ready to use. Good quality work is hard to come by these days at an affordable price, but there was no price gouging from his company. I highly recommend Shoreline and would use them again!"

"They were on time. Very friendly and professional. There were problems with some of the materials in the kit and they had to fix some of them to put it together. They were here for over 8 hours, didn't even break for lunch. Even though they were here longer than expected they didn't change more than they had estimate.They did a great job and I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing work done"

Customers say: True professional

"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."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry.
