"I couldn’t be happier with the incredible job Kristi and Advanced Quality Contracting did building my new deck. From start to finish, the entire process was smooth, professional, and right on schedule, which is rare these days. Kristi took the time to really listen to what I wanted, offered thoughtful suggestions, and designed a deck that perfectly matched both my needs and my vision. The quality of his workmanship and materials is top-notch. Every detail looks clean, sturdy, and beautifully finished. It’s clear he takes great pride in his work. Kristi was a pleasure to work with, responsive, respectful, and committed to getting everything just right. He showed up when he said he would, kept the job site clean, and finished exactly on time. If you’re looking for a skilled, reliable contractor who delivers exceptional results, I highly recommend Kristi and Advanced Quality Contracting. My new deck is everything I hoped for and more!"

"We had S and D build us a floating deck. Sunil and the rest of the team were very professional and really know what they are doing. They are great at asking questions during the project to ensure the best product is delivered to their clients. We will be reaching out to them again for other house projects."

"Artie was exceptionally professional and knowledgeable in a vast array of services. Artie worked for me for over 7 years preforming tasks that varied from converting a small shed to a luxury air bnb, remodeling apartment buildings, restructuring and replacing a large porch, installing washer and dryers as well as dishwashers, and various small home projects. Artie was always punctual and reliable. He completed all jobs in a timely and effective manner. He also fixed projects that were done improperly by other contractors. I also found him to be cost effective in every way. Saving myself time, money, and energy upon every job that I hired him for. Artie still works for me to this day. Heâ s my go to for just about anything and everything!"

"Excellent experience. Mark was a fantastic communicator from start to finish. He gave me a very fair estimate and did not try to upsell me at all. My deck looks great. He was prompt, courteous, neat. Just a great experience from start to finish."

Customers say: True professional

"Brian and his whole crew did a fantastic job finishing our basement. The project included installing a new heated floor, building out new walls, and electrical and lighting throughout. With minimal direction, we were able to work together to design and construct a beautiful space while keeping access to all our mechanicals and household equipment. Any time there were hiccups, as is natural on a project like this, Brian was quick to address any problems or issues. We are so happy with the outcome!"

"Paul was hired to create custom cabinetry under our staircase. From the beginning to the end, Paul was communicative, professional, great with follow-through, excellent with details, and easy to work with. Our house was built in the 1860s and does not have a straight line in it. But Paul went the extra mile to make everything line up and look beautiful and seamless with the existing style. We are already looking at other projects we can hire him for! ;) A quality craftsperson is hard to find. Do not think twice about hiring Paul. You will only add value to your home."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.
