"We had the most amazing experience and super highly recommend Touched By God Carpenters, LLC! From the incredible quality of the work with the highest level of professionalism, skill, timeliness, and resourcefulness, to their detailed eye for leaving no detail untended to and coming up with custom solutions that are beautiful as well as economical. They are the ABSOLUTE BEST. Clean and neat in everything they do. They came in and installed an octagonal in my foyer ceiling for me last year that is magnificent! This year they repaired a staircase that was never finished by another carpenter and who no one would repair for me with missing and broken pieces and then they sanded it BY HAND! with a vacuum in the other hand! My staircase looks amazing. They also refaced my old builder stock kitchen and bathroom cabinets which gives them a custom, contemporary feel. installed hickory hardwood planks on the outside of my large island. I would recommend and trust them to do anything!"

"I cannot sing the praises of Jose and his team enough. I purchased a new home that had carpeting everywhere and hired J & J Elite Carpentry Inc to replace with wood floors. They did an AMAZING job as you can see from the pictures. J&J even took care of replacing a few closet doors. Jose and his team are very friendly, knowledgable, patient, responsive, on time and professional. They communicate and are transparent with you every step of the way and get the job done with such great detail and care. They also specialize in other areas so I plan to hire them for other home repair needs."

"D's Fencing did an amazing job installing a split rail fence with metal mesh to make a large dog run on our property. The work was beautifully done and they were meticulous. The workmen were lovely and worked very hard. The owner was amazing and called us from his vacation to explain the short delay in obtaining the metal mesh. We're new to the area and relied on Home Advisor and reviews to locate a professional fencing company and we hit the jackpot with D's!"

"Eddie and his crew did a wonderful job of renovating our old outdated closet doors (8ft high bifolds) to a new standard door size with framing for multiple closets. Eddie did exactly what we requested at a reasonable price - I would definitely recommend Eddie."

"It went really really good. I have an old house. It was built in the 1700's. Santo is a master carpenter and did a great job. The kitchen, the cabinets, sheetrock, spackling, woodwork, moulding, maple floors,were all done professionally and came out great. He worked very patiently with me and my wife. I would use him again and recommend his service. I already plan on using him on my next project, just saving money."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

Building a barndominium means converting a barn into a house. Barndominiums are becoming popular as spacious and stylish alternatives to typical housing structures. Old barns that become houses traditionally consist of wooden construction. However, newer structures, such as pole barns, often contain metal exteriors and roofs. Converting a metal outbuilding into a house presents an excellent opportunity to create a barndominium from metal.

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.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.
