"Shawn and his team were great from start to finish. I had three separate projects (two decks and a porch). It took them less time than I thought it would to complete all three. Very courteous, and very knowledgeable. Thank you so much for the job well done!"

"I wanted a dedicated laundry folding table and Wrynn & Oak did not disappoint! The wall that I wanted my table installed on was made from concrete and was extremely uneven there was also a pipe running along the base of the floor so this was quite an obstacle I was worried about. Kam decided to install a wooden frame on the concrete wall and shim it to be plum and even, this way he was able to mount the entire table to the wall in order to avoid the pipe of the floor. I'm truly amazed at his craftsmanship and knowledge. The cabinet carcass was made from maple plywood (painted white), the face frame was made from solid walnut and the top was made from solid maple. I'm so happy I have a place to put my baskets and fold laundry! Thank you Wrynn & Oak!"

"The project was to restore a large portion of wooden chimney exterior destroyed by squirrels gnawing and inhabiting the interior over winter. We were extremely pleased with the timelness, quality and professionalism of Castle's custom carpenter, Rich, who attended to the restoration and subsequent caulking and painting of the work area. His knowledge, skill and proficiency will benefit any potential customer. We were pleased with the final cost of the repair, as being fair and reasonable."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.
