"Christian is very conscientious about what he is doing, does a good job and cleans up afterwards. Quite a bit of the work he did was when we were gone so I'd leave him a key. He is very trustworthy."

"We chose Revive Renovators over multiple other contractors to do our complete kitchen remodel, and we easily made the right choice! James, Randy, and the team performed the remodel as bid and quoted and delivered exactly what we envisioned. They stayed on schedule, within budget, and provided exceptional quality of workmanship. The large scale and complexity of the project was not a problem for this team. Please check out the pictures to truly appreciate the job they did! The dark kitchen pictures are the before and the lighter, larger images are the after. I would 100% recommend them and consider them my go-to contractor for any home repair and renovation needs."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

Framing a basement takes three to five days, on average, when completed by a professional, though it may take longer for a larger space. Keep in mind this doesn’t include the time to complete the design, obtain permits, and install the drywall on the framing. On average, fully finishing a basement takes an average of 45 days.

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 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.
