"Wilburs did an excellent job on my floors and walls. I worked with Danny Salas and his crews and they did a fantastic job. My home had textured walls on the first floor and stairway. Wilburs skim-coated all the walls and repainted. They did a great job; you can’t tell that the walls are not the original surface! They also replaced the crown molding in all the 1st floor rooms. Danny was very helpful in deciding on the size of the crown molding and the end result looks great. Wilburs also redid the hardwood floors and stairs by sanding, staining and putting on polyurethane. They did a great job. The crews were professional yet friendly and they cleanup up after themselves really well. Everything they did turned out great and the pricing was very competitive!"

"Rich and his crew were friendly and professional. They estimated the time and cost and stuck to both. They explained to us what process steps they would have to go through to do the job and then did the work according to our agreement. Both the deck and the interior areas they painted now look better than they have in years. The deck especially took a lot of work as it was in pretty bad shape before their work on it."

"If I could give them more than 5 stars I would! They did a GREAT job on the fence!!! Worker came on time and was here for 12 hours, and before he left he made sure everything was cleaned up, and it looked like no one was even here! And now I have a great looking fence!. I have used a number of contractors in and around my house over the years for various projects but I have never had one work as hard as they did. There were some tough tree roots they had to deal with, but it did not deter them!"

"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."

"When first meeting them, I was very impressed. I had to have work done on my shed. New roof, frame and a ramp. They never criticized that it was a small job. They gave me a great price and came to do the job as promised two days after meeting them. They (Tony, Eric and Jimmy) are perfectionists and came on time. They cleaned up so good, you wouldn t even have known there was work done. HIGHLY RECOMMEND them. I actually took extra business cards to recommend them to my neighbors and friends. They are my contractors for life!!"

"Had an old deck in my backyard which was several decades old and while it still looked good had clearly become dangerous due to extensive rotting of most of the deck posts as well as some steps. Bryan came over and discussed all the options to deal with the issues I identified and sent a team of three workers over a couple of weeks later to complete the renovation. Replaced all the rotted decking with new cedar but during their work also discovered other issues with the deck structure I had not noticed. This caused the crew to have to put in an extra day of work and also added somewhat to the project's total cost. Was disappointed about the overage in the project cost but Bryan and the crew showed me where other parts of the decking clearly were deteriorated and needed to be replaced to insure both the stability and safety of the project. All in all am completed happy with the way everything worked out and the quality of the workmanship and carpentry skills evident in the finished project."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

Metal stud framing parts include the studs themselves, upper and lower tracks that act as top and bottom wall plates, various angle fasteners and clips, screws for fastening pieces togeher, metal straps, c-channel supports, and thicker steel supporting structures. Roof framing metal components include pre-fabricated trusses, heavy-gauge stud pieces, and various plates and fasteners.

Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.

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.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.
