Customers say: True professional

"Simply stated, the best possible carpentry service you can hire. In building a large deck off of the back of my house (project with a countless variables), Pat at Steadfast Carpentry worked to complete a design to my exact wants that will continue to impress everyone who sees it for decades. Pat demonstrated a deep knowledge and care for well-built and beautiful woodworking, and was able to exceed any expectations of build quality, cost, and aesthetics, whilst working safely and within the constraints of our town codes. I cannot overstate how friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and diligent he has been throughout the entire process. I am overjoyed with the final product, and can personally assure anyone looking for a carpenter that you have found the gold standard with Steadfast Carpentry. It is a true rarity to find the affordability, knowledge, and quality at this level."

"I don't normally write reviews, but these guys were outstanding. I have an old building that I needed some patchwork repair at minimal cost. Basically, my patio stairs front and back were broken and about to collapse. These guys were able to understand and read the situation and quoted me a very reasonable fee to repair both stairs. The results were outstanding. They did additional work outside the scope of what was agreed as a courtesy and the stairs are incredibly sturdy and visibly appealing. I have no doubt these guys could do it all and they are now going to be my go to. Also, the project was finished a day ahead of schedule. Overall, I was blown away and very happy with them."

"Dear Eric, I am writing to express my utmost appreciation for the exceptional work you and your team have done in transforming our outdoor space. Your expertise and dedication to the project have truly made a significant impact, and I want to commend you for your outstanding services. First and foremost, I was impressed by the professionalism and punctuality of your team. They consistently arrived on time and were always ready to tackle the tasks at hand. This level of reliability is truly commendable, and it gave me peace of mind throughout the project. The work that your team accomplished was nothing short of remarkable. Installing the railroad ties around our driveway not only added a touch of elegance but also improved the overall curb appeal of our property. The precision and attention to detail in this task were evident, and it exceeded my expectations. Furthermore, the tree removal was a challenging endeavor, but your team handled it with expertise and care. Safety was a top priority, and the efficient removal of the old tree was executed flawlessly. Lastly, the refinishing of our old wooden deck was the highlight of the project. The transformation was incredible, and the deck now looks brand new. The quality of craftsmanship and the choice of materials showcased your team's dedication to delivering exceptional results. Eric, I want to express my gratitude for your hard work, professionalism, and the outstanding results you have achieved. It's rare to find a contractor who consistently exceeds expectations, and I can confidently say that I will be proud to hire your services for any future projects. You and your team have not only met but surpassed our expectations, and I wholeheartedly recommend your services to anyone seeking top-notch craftsmanship and reliability. Thank you once again for your excellent work. It has been a pleasure working with you, and I look forward to future collaborations. Best Regards, Sandeep Ingale"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

Traditionally, bungalows are single-story homes, although having a half or partial story on top of the first floor is common. While adding a second story to a bungalow is certainly possible, the home would no longer be considered a bungalow by the strictest definition.

If you remove a load-bearing wall to create an entrance to a carport or covered patio, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,500, with an average cost of $6,400. Factors such as the type of addition and if that area needs additional work will add to the price.

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.

Yes, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.
