"I hired Barnett as the contractor for a bathroom remodel. We ended up doing much of the running around for materials and the project took more than 3 months and still did not get completed. It also cost significantly more than the original estimate do mostly to poor project management. I would not hire this company for another project."

"Responsive. Respectful. Reliable. MRC Construction did an outstanding job with my new siding and gutters! This was my first big home improvement project. I set a budget, began the research and ultimately requested bids from four suppliers. MRC was the most competitive, offered the product selection and warranty I was looking for and their schedule fit mine. Rodrigo is professional and patient and answered all of my questions. Marco managed the onsite work flawlessly. From the first phone call to the last walk through, MRC Construction is FIVE stars. I highly recommend MRC Construction and will go back to them for my future projects."

Meeting somebody, being invited into their house, and listening to their ideas of how they would like to transform their space to better suit their needs excites me. It brings me immense pleasure to be welcomed on an idea based visual journey in creating a customized dwelling in order to improve the quality of function in somebody's daily home life. Bringing ideas to fruition is my specialty. With equal enjoyment in making those popcorn ceilings that you've adored for so long disappear in an array of smoothness, gutting the kitchen where nothing seems to fit anywhere, including the cook, and installing cabinets and lights that transform the "heart of the home" into a space you don't want to step out of, or erecting that garage and mudroom to get your cars out of the weather and the clutter out of your foyer. At Magic Frog Carpentry & Woodworks I live in a solutions based mentality.

"Adam did an excellent job building our garage from the ground up. He was excellent to work with. Not only was he very professional, so were the subcontractors that he hired. Everyone was knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Our project required that a road be built to accommodate large trucks in the springtime. The project stayed on track and proceeded smoothly. We were never left wondering “what’s next?” Adam has great communication and stayed in touch to make sure we knew what was coming up and when. I would definitely recommend using Magic Frog Carpentry."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.

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.

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.

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project.
