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."

"Mike and, his helper did a fantastic job repairing the drywall crack in our dining room ceiling. There were several steps involved which included repainting the entire ceiling, but Mike did not cut any corners, and did things right the first time. He thoroughly cleaned up afterwards, and you would never know that we had had work done, except for the fact that the ceiling was as good as new. He works very hard, with a measure of Integrity you don’t always find with contractors. He arrived on time, and his work was very fairly priced. He will be on my shortlist for any home repairs in the future."

"Replaced missing siding and painted foundation: Eric was very prompt in responding to my request for a quote. He came to my house on a Sunday to give me an estimate and was extremely flexible with working within my time frame. His price was very reasonable and fair. He would check in with me as the job progressed to review what had been done to ensure I was happy with the work. He and his team were very polite, friendly and eager to make sure we were pleased with the job. I would definitely use them again."

"I actually hired Nick!! He was very informative and had a vision to build a new porch. He actually widened our porch because it wasnà  à ¢à  à  à  à  t of code. The work he used was pressure treated wood. It is so sturdy that it will last for years to come. I will definitely recommend him for all needed services."

"I never thought I would ever write a positive review with contractors. Top Pros completely replaced my old wood deck with composite. The detail and customization of the job was impeccable. As a customer who pays extra attention to minor details I can honestly write this to say thank you to Eric for building my deck, he used quality materials even new wood to drop a dumpster on my driveway was shocking. Eric was always on time, went beyond my expectations and always backed up his work. Don't think twice hire Top Pros it will be hard to find the friendliest, amazing prices and quality work from a local contractor. This is a real review from a real customer who is never 100% satisfied!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.

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.
