"Touched by God is a very professional business with highly skilled carpenters. The work they did to install custom molding, trim, door casings, and picture frames really transformed our home. What was a 20 year old home is now a beautifully updated home. Diego and his team really worked with us to achieve everything we wanted and then some â - all within committed timeframes."

"Eddie came with a partner and they did a beautiful job. Immaculate work. I found no fault what so ever. He had to raise the cabinets and then repair and paint the wall. He was here exactly when he said he would be here for both the estimate and the job. He does great follow up and has a great work ethic. He is just such a joy to work with."

"Initially, I was worried about the cost, but after I saw the amount of work and time that they invested into my project - I actually got a bargain. We had to deal with weather issues throughout the project. Nevertheless, the lads from Battlecat Brushworks were there as the weather permitted and did an outstanding job. The heat on most of the days was horrible, and yet they persevered. Complicating the job - our house is sided with cedar (in-tongue groove) and they had to replace over 320 feet of siding. They definitely went the extra mile and we greatly appreciated their professionalism - from the management to their work crew. I would highly recommend Battlecat for any painting job - especially, if it involves carpentry! They are extremely thorough and do the job right! Their focus on providing top-flight customer service was simply outstanding."

"Excellent company. Benjamin, the owner, has done work for our house. He renovated our bathroom completely. He needed to re-cement and did reconstruction. He helped us pick out materials. He customized our cabinets for us. The house was completely clean. The house was left spotless. He also did painting. We are going to have them come back to do more work for us. I would definitely recommend them."

"Jeff and his entire crew (carpenters, painters, tile setters, sheetrockers, plumbers, and electricians) have been totally professional, courteous, respectful, and thorough. They listened to my concerns, respected my intentions, and offered suggestions based upon their professional experience. I recommend this company, and will remember them if and when I need more work. They transformed an old bathroom into a beautiful handicap accessible bathroom."

"They did excellent work at a excellent price. Most companies will look at the job and give you a price, usually building in extra costs for possible unseen issues. Integrated Electrical Solutions charges an up front $125 for coming out and $115/hour. In my case, moving a dining room light fixture, I had estimates ranging from $325 to $570. Because the work turned out to be straight forward their actual cost was $210."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Installing an ornamental or decorative porch column takes around three to five hours. Structural columns take longer because your pro has to install a jack to hold up the roof while switching the column out. If there's any structural damage, it can add several days to the timeline to repair the damage.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.

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.

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.
