"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!"

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.

"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!!"

"Large drywall project on 2nd floor.. Did quality work. Ran into some unforseen framing issues, with this old house, which Charlie had to rethink his plan. Things came together, job well done. Does so much for one person alone, most of the time. Well have him back for more projects."

"I had a great experience with Freedom Framing! Matthew was very easy to work with and did a great job for a great price! Matthew is not only a great carpenter he is a very good project manager, ensuring the supporting contractors needed to complete the work arrived on time and performed top quality work. I would strongly recommend him for any construction work needed. I will be calling Matthew for the next project on my list! Excellent job Matthew! Thank you very much!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

Homeowners can increase the usefulness of their garage space in other ways, and one option is to extend the length of the garage by making it deeper. The process is similar to traditional garage extensions, but the end product is a garage with a different layout rather than additional parking spaces. 

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.
