"Just needed a couple of outside faucets replaced. After spending weeks trying to find a plumber who would actually do the work, found Doyleâ s Home Carpentry on Home Advisor and what a find. On site at time promised, cost for the job much less than competitors estimates, no surprises, and the work was great. Already discussing additional work."

"Tim arrived right on time and gave me a more than reasonable price. He required virtually no supervision and assembled three large, complex furniture pieces including one with electrical components in a relatively short amount of time. He even helped me carry the pieces to the second floor and put them into place. I then asked if he could look at two electrical problems I had, one inside, one out. He fixed both in a matter of moments and went on his way. Would I hire him again? I asked him to consider a rather complex carpentry project and he said he'd investigate the needed materials and get back to me. In short, you be hard pressed to find a more capable, skilled and affordable handy man than Tim."

"Had a few small projects that needed to be done. One was a toilet issue which he knew the problem and was able to fix it very fast. The other was my outdoor lights. The winter ice build up destroyed my front lights and he managed to get those repaired fast and at a good price. I would fully recommend if you have any issues. Very knowledgeable and willing to help any way he can."

"Found Sentri on Angi. Jeanette and Violet were very pleasant and efficient in getting a contractor to me in the time frame needed. The contractor was excellent and the roof looks great! I would definitely work with them again if I had additional projects."

"Mike was prompt, reliable and competent as well as knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. He is the owner of the company, and did the installation with another worker. We are very pleased. He also installed an aluminum ramp in the garage to make the house accessible for our 99 year old Mother."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.

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.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

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

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.
