"As it happens, Wilber's Painting has skilled carpenters on staff who are competent, experienced, and committed to old world craftsmanship. Our good fortune was getting Maynor, a highly talented carpenter, who constructed and installed the door, which is quite attractive. The installation was tricky because the 90 year-old frame was not perfectly squared but he managed to get the right fit. Mahogany was used for the door frame and safety glass for the insert. I opted not to have a screen insert, so the glass is a permanent fixture."

"My husband and I were very pleased with this company. They gave us a fair price and did an excellent job at restoring our aging deck by first pressure washing it and then applying a high quality paint. We were able to select the color we wanted from a variety of colors. This father and son team were very easy to work with, answered any questions and work in a highly professional manner. We would highly recommend them to others."

"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!!"

"Experienced Landscape Design did a fantastic job for us trimming 3 large overgrown hedges, yew, forsythia, and privet, and clearing weeds from planting beds. We anticipated a good outcome from the moment we met owner Paul, because of his evident love for this work, enthusiasm, and energy. He assessed our property, answered questions, and pointed out areas we might want to include in the service either now or later. We received a very fair estimate next day, and the job was completed the day after that. The crew worked for 7 hours with care and thoroughness, shaping the hedges artfully, exceeding my expectations. I was so delighted with the result I think I applauded. This company is a keeper, and we look forward to working with them in the future."

"Angelo from Joseph and SONS was a honest contractor. He was able to do the work the right way by getting a building permit. Both inspections, they passed. The work was done neatly and on time to finish. I trust them, this is the second job they have done for me."

"Tim offered a very reasonable price, arrived promptly and he and his team were so nice and did a terrific job cleaning my gutters and downspouts. I've had my gutters cleaned many times and this is by far my very best experience. In moving forward, Dominion Construction will be my go to. Very please with their work and excited to learn about such a great company!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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. 

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.
