"All Star Carpentry is great! Nick and his crew were professional, proficient, polite, and punctual! They were always there when he said they would be, and were considerate of us by keeping everything cleaned up. The work was outstanding and I have already decided to hire him for another project."

"Eddy's crew worked in stages to remove two walls, dispose of wallboard and other lumber trash, and replace a load-bearing wall with an LVL beam.  The removal and re-construction, adding the LVL beam took one day.  It passed the building inspection on the first inspection.  At the end of the day, the room was swept, dusted and the floor washed to remove wallboard dust.  During the work, the entire area was totally sealed in plastic sheeting so that no dust escaped to other parts of the house.  The second stage, installing wallboard and taping and spackling, took two days - the joint compound takes at least overnight to cure hard.  When complete, the walls and beam were smooth and looked great.  Again, after the work, each day, clean up was thorough, furniture in the room was dusted clean, and the finished job passed township building inspection.  Overall I am very pleased.  Eddy is honest, does what he says he will, has experienced tradesmen to do each part of the job, and charged reasonably - midway between the lowest and highest quotes i got for the job. I would definitely used ETC again."

"Excellent honest carpenter! Does what he says and will not nickel and dime you for every little thing. He was replacing a rotting header and found some additional rot. He didn't charge me extra. I am sure other companies would have!"

"We hired Armando to replace an outside door for us. He did an incredible job! Everything was done beautifully and he cleaned up afterwards really well. He arrived on time and completed the job within the time frame he told me. I really appreciated the ease in communication and will definitely hire him again for future repairs and home improvement projects. We are extremely pleased."

"I hired this company to replace my roof dumpster was delivered one day before they started the job. Very hard-working guys, they remove all shingles on a 20 square roof within 2h. unfortunately the plywood was bad and need it to be replaced these guys did something that no company would do it they removed all plywood did framing repair installed 5/8 plywood and charged me only for the cost of plywood. I give them 5 stars for the job that they did and i will never deal with any other company besides HomeMaster."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

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.

While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.
