"This was a top to bottom power wash, hand scrap, base priming, Ready Patch of boards, hand sanding of Ready Patch, another priming, top coat, trim work, wood repair and shutters of a 218 year old home. Results are amazing, so much so that people stop by to complement the quality of the workmanship. Words cannot due justice to the outcome of this time consuming project. If your home is in need of a professional, reliable and responsive team look no further. Hire Maurice and his crew. You won't be disappointed. Highly recommended."

"Wilber's painting always does first rate work!!! We have used them in the past to paint the exterior trim of our 100+ year old house. Because we were so happy with the job they did on our old house, we used them again for painting the interior of our new home. They do high quality work and are courteous, responsive and very professional. I highly recommend them and will use them again for future needs."

"We are having a kitchen and dining area remodel on a 19th Century house with very small interior spaces. Anina Peter patiently and enthusiastically walked us through the entire process, offered several design options, and helped us choose everything from cabinets to hardware to countertops and paint colors. The process was efficient and the materials were competitively priced. (We did decide to use our own carpenter to install.) Anina answered all our questions, including several back-and-forths about various details via email. She made this challenging process much smoother than it might overwise have been."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Enhances property value, ensures safety, and provides a sound basis for future construction.

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.

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 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.

Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.
