"I don't often write reviews but I am excited to write this one! Lenny, who is the owner and contractor of Lenny's Home Improvements is an exceptionally nice and talented person who came up with such amazing ideas making our kitchen and family room more spacious and absolutely beautiful! Lenny was at our home every day both working and overseeing the progress of our renovation. Lenny as well as his crew were all very pleasant and meticulous about their work. Lenny puts in the time and effort needed to be sure everything is done exactly right… to Perfection! It is so refreshing to have a contractor who actually takes pride in his work which is rare nowadays. Finally, the end result was a ‘dream come true’ for us, better than we could have envisioned and we couldn't be happier!!! Lenny often says, “I put my heart and soul into my work” and without a doubt he most definitely does! We truly love our renovated kitchen (with shining coffee bar!), Fam rm, 3 Bath rms, windows, doors! "

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

DIY is possible, but professional construction ensures structural integrity and proper anchoring.
