"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."

"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!!"

"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."

"In 2024 our self-managed their faced our largest project to date on our 1965 building. The balcony membranes and stucco needed to be replaced and repaired. We did our due diligence and had companies give us proposals and estimates. We decided on they're after inspecting other buildings, researching their methods and comparing prices. We liked that they use their own teams rather than sub-contracting the work."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

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.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

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.

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.
