"I highly recommend Jorge at Gale’s Carpentry. He is honest, reliable, and does excellent quality work. I’ve used him for multiple projects, and every time his attention to detail and workmanship have been outstanding. He takes pride in doing the job right and never cuts corners. He communicates clearly, is transparent about costs and timelines, and always shows up when he says he will. He also keeps the work area clean and treats your home with respect. It’s rare to find someone this trustworthy and consistent. I will definitely continue using him for future projects and would recommend him to anyone looking for dependable, high-quality work"

"Home Line Construction did an amazing job and work was completed in just one week. They first had to remove several large concrete slabs before being able to prepare the surface to take the new pavers and remove a failed railroad tie wall in order to build the new block wall. They did an awesome job of tying two leaders together to drain the gutters under the new pavers and wall to the garden area beyond. Requests for information and estimates were handled immediately and all questions answered fully. Was our pleasure working with professionals and they receive a very high grade from "Inspector Young" (the husband here) who as a retired Construction Official/Building Inspector had many occasions to observe and inspect others work. Our site was left so much better than how it had been. Kudos to Ardian and his team. Would definitely recommend them highly."

"I hired this company to replace my roof dumpster was delivered one day before they started the job. Very hard-working guys, they remove all shingles on a 20 square roof within 2h. unfortunately the plywood was bad and need it to be replaced these guys did something that no company would do it they removed all plywood did framing repair installed 5/8 plywood and charged me only for the cost of plywood. I give them 5 stars for the job that they did and i will never deal with any other company besides HomeMaster."

"When first meeting them, I was very impressed. I had to have work done on my shed. New roof, frame and a ramp. They never criticized that it was a small job. They gave me a great price and came to do the job as promised two days after meeting them. They (Tony, Eric and Jimmy) are perfectionists and came on time. They cleaned up so good, you wouldn t even have known there was work done. HIGHLY RECOMMEND them. I actually took extra business cards to recommend them to my neighbors and friends. They are my contractors for life!!"

"After a mold remediation project left our formerly finished basement looking like a disaster area, we gave Dave the job of rebuilding it. He replaced the framing, insulation, drywall, drop ceiling, and associated trim and molding. He also corrected some structural problems that were uncovered at the same time, and rebuilt the handrails and banisters on the staircase. All in all, it was a great job and completed in a timely manner. Highly recommended."

"Henry did a fantastic job covering the exterior trim of our house in aluminum. Carpenter bees had really made a mess of it and now it looks brand new. They also replaced the trim around my front door and I like it better than the original woodwork! Henry and his team were professional and cleaned up everything before leaving. I think it was a good value for the money."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

It's possible to turn your carport into a living space, but there are additional factors to address over turning it into a garage. HVAC, plumbing, and electricity won't be optional, and you'll need finished flooring, drywall, trim work, and legal ceiling height, for starters. Also, keep in mind that living space conversions may require upgrading the foundation underneath, and the permits might be more expensive as well.

Stick frames, metal frames, or prefabricated concrete frames are included in framing a house, along with creating the framework and space for windows, doors, and entryways. Other aspects of developing a home—like drywall, insulation, windows, doors, and more—are not included in the cost to frame a house.
