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 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."

"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

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

It's possible to turn your carport into a living space, but there are additional factors to address over turning it into a garage. HVAC, plumbing, and electricity won't be optional, and you'll need finished flooring, drywall, trim work, and legal ceiling height, for starters. Also, keep in mind that living space conversions may require upgrading the foundation underneath, and the permits might be more expensive as well.

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.

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.

Framing a basement takes three to five days, on average, when completed by a professional, though it may take longer for a larger space. Keep in mind this doesn’t include the time to complete the design, obtain permits, and install the drywall on the framing. On average, fully finishing a basement takes an average of 45 days.
