"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."

"Excellent work. The crew cut (painted the corners and trim line) each room with a small brush before they rolled on the paint. I have hired four painters this year and ETC is the only one I would hire again."

"EAD, Ernie, is the answer!! Incredible workmanship and customer service!! From the first call Ernie it was evident that this was going to be a good experience, I was WRONG It was GREAT!!! I actually am an owner of a roofing company but in Maryland so when I needed work done ASAP at my NJ home I turned to HomeAdvisor which lead me to Ernie. Its nice to experience a pleasant transaction with another service provider in your industry !! I would with NO hesitation recommend EAD, to anyone looking for HONEST and Quality WORK. I can't thank him enough for addressing my roof issue and fixing it honestly , he even sent me pictures as he addressed the issues , since I am back in Maryland while the work was being performed. Class A act. From one contractor to another Great JOB and from one Home Owner to another no reservations , the job will be done right and at a reasonable price!! Looking forward to working with him again."

"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."

"Greg is a very talented carpenter and a professional architect. Our deck was in bad shape and we weren't sure if it can be restored. Greg worked on it and finished the restoration for us and it looks almost like a new one now. Our family is very happy with the quality of work. It is always refreshing and fascinating to witness great workmanship. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that he pretty much can do any renovation projects from deck restoration to kitchen remodeling to all the way building a brand new home. I am happy to say that we have already hired Greg on a different project."

"Mr. Armando and his workers remodeled two kitchens for me.. mine and my tenants simultaneously. He was true to his word regarding completion time frame. He added extras like a shelf in a closet I asked him to create. It was truly a pleasure working with him. I look forward to him returning at a later time to do additional work for me."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.

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.

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.
