"We are very pleased with the new deck build by Bryan and his team. They first tore down the old deck to the frame, which was still in good shape. They then rebuilt the deck. They replaced the floorboards, the side railings and boards, and the steps. It looks great and is very solid. See attached pics."

"Marco and his team just completed building a deck for my townhouse, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Marco provided a variety of material and color samples to choose from, making the selection process easy. The crew worked efficiently, finished the project quickly, and made sure to clean up thoroughly at the end of each day. I would highly recommend Total Quality Contracting if you are considering adding a deck or other home improvements, you wont be disappointed!"

"I had such a wonderful experience working with Red White and Blue Painting Enterprise. I called for a quote and received a return call from the owner ( Eric ) within hours. Within a day he came to review the scope of work, gave me a written proposal, and a start and finish date. Everything was done as promised, on time and for the agreed upon price. He and his staff are always on time, very polite and honest. Eric does work to his standard which honestly was higher than my expectation. In addition, he offered to return after the carpenters were done to handle any touch ups. I cannot think of a negative thing to say with regards to my experience with this company and have already recommended them to friends and family."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

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. 

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.
