"I highly recommend Fabiano's Construction. Our experience with him was fantastic from beginning to end. The project was to restore and replace the exterior window frames of our 1830 Trinity. The previous owners had installed new windows on the inside but left the old ones outside for beauty. Many of these old windows were completely rotten at the bottom, barely holding the small panes of glass together. We got three estimates. One builder wanted to replace the old windows with a second set of new ones. Another was going to patch them up with wood filler. Fabiano was the only one who was willing to actually restore them, using green wood for the parts that were beyond salvaging. It was precision carpentry work requiring problem-solving ingenuity. The new frames and sills are green wood plus Azek (PVC), so they should last forever. Although more major restoration was necessary than foreseen, Fabiano and his crew—his son Will and assistant Simon—still finished the job in the predicted time. They were careful, focused, hard-working, and also really nice, honest people. It was a pleasure to meet them, and the result is a stunning improvement to our house both inside and out. Fabiano is responsive and friendly, an expert who takes pride in his work. Incredibly, his price was the lowest the three. We plan to hire him for another project."

"I hired Aztec for major repairs due to termite damage. They were prompt, professional, and easy to work with. They came in less than 10 days after we contacted them to FINISH the work. First, they evaluated the damage and walked me through the needed repairs which included placing three new steel support beams along with two main horizontal wood beams and several sistered beams. They were able to complete the work, once they started, in three days. At each step, I was informed of progress and there were no surprises (from my end). The work included everything from removing electrical wiring and then replacing it, pouring the new steel vertical support beams, affixing them solidly into my concrete floor, and then pacing the numerous horizontal beams. I could not recommend AZtec (and Greg!) more."

"My husband and I were so impressed with Ernest and his crew. I am 7 months pregnant, and the whole idea of having work done at the house was overwhelming. Ernest and his team made us feel so relaxed about the entire process. We interviewed/got estimates from multiple people before hiring Ernest. He was the only one who gave accurate cost analysis up front. Many contractors gave us "lower" estimates but had hidden fees somewhere in small print. Ernest had always been clear and concise when it came to financial projections. This was so important for us during this time as we prepare for the new addition to our household! He was the only contractor that we interviewed that made suggestions on ways that we could save money. Instead of hitting us with the highest price for every service that we needed, he often told us what it would cost ideally as well as what we could do if we couldn't afford that option. In addition to his honesty and transparency, he is a perfectionist. The quality of his work spoke for itself. We don't even recognize the house that we bought and fixed. Flooring looks amazing! You would never know that we had popcorn ceilings in every room of the house. Paint package was exactly how we envisioned it. Some people may be tempted to go to "cheaper" offers. Do not be fooled by those people trying to undercut quality contract work. Ernest is the best value for your money. You will get competitive pricing and a quality job... plus he provided the best customer service. He responded to every one of my texts and always addressed our concerns. So many contractors that we interviewed took days to get back to us or simply didn't call when they said that they would. Ernest never made us feel like we were being over the top for asking questions about the construction. He validated our concerns and ensured that we felt comfortable with every step. We have already recommended him and his crew to others. He did everything the right way - no cutting corners when it came to safety and design. We had heard from other contractors that on the surface appeared to be a better deal....but upon further inspection, those contractors were not doing things safely and were looking for quick cash. He gave us a peace of mind. I know I will be able to sell my house whenever I want and that every repair will be recognized and validated by a home inspection. Lastly, my dad is a retired carpenter in his 70s and was helping me around the house while Ernest and his men were present. He was so friendly and welcoming when it came to my dad. He actually coordinated with him a couple of times and made some great suggestions that benefited all of us. He is clearly invested in his clients and their overall satisfaction. The reviews all say that his service is impeccable. They were spot on. Thank you Ernest!!!!!! We are grateful for what you did to bring our new home to life!"

"Tom does very good work. He’s efficient, polite, punctual and reasonably priced. He also communicates well, which is not always the case with tradespeople. He did work for us on 3 occasions. He repaired our walkway, fixed the sump pump cover, and repaired a post securing a sliding door in the sun room. I couldn’t find a match in the drop-down."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

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.

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.

The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.
