"Simply stated, the best possible carpentry service you can hire. In building a large deck off of the back of my house (project with a countless variables), Pat at Steadfast Carpentry worked to complete a design to my exact wants that will continue to impress everyone who sees it for decades. Pat demonstrated a deep knowledge and care for well-built and beautiful woodworking, and was able to exceed any expectations of build quality, cost, and aesthetics, whilst working safely and within the constraints of our town codes. I cannot overstate how friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and diligent he has been throughout the entire process. I am overjoyed with the final product, and can personally assure anyone looking for a carpenter that you have found the gold standard with Steadfast Carpentry. It is a true rarity to find the affordability, knowledge, and quality at this level."

"Mike and, his helper did a fantastic job repairing the drywall crack in our dining room ceiling. There were several steps involved which included repainting the entire ceiling, but Mike did not cut any corners, and did things right the first time. He thoroughly cleaned up afterwards, and you would never know that we had had work done, except for the fact that the ceiling was as good as new. He works very hard, with a measure of Integrity you don’t always find with contractors. He arrived on time, and his work was very fairly priced. He will be on my shortlist for any home repairs in the future."

"Dear Eric, I am writing to express my utmost appreciation for the exceptional work you and your team have done in transforming our outdoor space. Your expertise and dedication to the project have truly made a significant impact, and I want to commend you for your outstanding services. First and foremost, I was impressed by the professionalism and punctuality of your team. They consistently arrived on time and were always ready to tackle the tasks at hand. This level of reliability is truly commendable, and it gave me peace of mind throughout the project. The work that your team accomplished was nothing short of remarkable. Installing the railroad ties around our driveway not only added a touch of elegance but also improved the overall curb appeal of our property. The precision and attention to detail in this task were evident, and it exceeded my expectations. Furthermore, the tree removal was a challenging endeavor, but your team handled it with expertise and care. Safety was a top priority, and the efficient removal of the old tree was executed flawlessly. Lastly, the refinishing of our old wooden deck was the highlight of the project. The transformation was incredible, and the deck now looks brand new. The quality of craftsmanship and the choice of materials showcased your team's dedication to delivering exceptional results. Eric, I want to express my gratitude for your hard work, professionalism, and the outstanding results you have achieved. It's rare to find a contractor who consistently exceeds expectations, and I can confidently say that I will be proud to hire your services for any future projects. You and your team have not only met but surpassed our expectations, and I wholeheartedly recommend your services to anyone seeking top-notch craftsmanship and reliability. Thank you once again for your excellent work. It has been a pleasure working with you, and I look forward to future collaborations. Best Regards, Sandeep Ingale"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

If you remove a load-bearing wall to create an entrance to a carport or covered patio, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,500, with an average cost of $6,400. Factors such as the type of addition and if that area needs additional work will add to the price.

A-frame homes are on the smaller side. While there’s no set square footage amount it has to be, it will usually come in around 1,000 square feet or smaller.
