“Transform your home with our expert carpentry finishes. From stunning doors and elegant windows to flawless floors and custom decks, we bring craftsmanship and quality to every project. Trust us to elevate your space with precision and style.”

"We recently had new railings installed on our renewed deck, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, the contractor was professional, responsive, and detail-oriented. They showed up on time, worked efficiently, and kept the site clean throughout the process. The craftsmanship is outstanding. Our deck not only feels safer but also looks amazing. The railings completely transformed the space and gave it a fresh, polished look. What really stood out was the contractor’s pride in their work and their willingness to go the extra mile to make sure every detail was perfect. They listened to our ideas, made thoughtful suggestions, and delivered a final product that exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality deck or railing work. If you want a reliable professional who combines skill with great customer service, this is the contractor to call!"

It also cost significantly more than the original estimate do mostly to poor project management. I would not hire this company for another project."

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

You can use a nail to find ceiling joists, but it’s not as reliable as a stud finder, and you’ll end up with lots of small holes in your ceiling. If the nail hits a joist, you'll feel increased resistance. Mark the spot with a pencil. Repeat this process regularly along the ceiling, 16 or 24 inches apart, until you've mapped out the joist locations.

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.

There are both temporary and permanent ways to enclose a carport. If you’re looking to enclose your carport for the winter, a canvas enclosure could do the trick. It won’t be as protective as a permanent structure, but it can offer some protection from elements like snow, rain, and wind. For a permanent enclosure, you can add extra walls, add a new vertical roof, or a lean-to addition on one side of the structure.

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 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.
