"J&A carpentry showed up early ready to work! Jeff did the layout with precise measurements, dug holes and placed poles and panels seamlessly. He had all the equipment needed and more, ready for any hiccups to occur and tackle them. The job was finished within 6 hours when id expected it to be a few days worth of work. He meticulously cleaned the work areas, was kind, respectful, and walked me through all of what he was doing. He even removed the poles from my previous metal fence. Wonderful professionalism and would highly recommend."

"Gene was a very sweet man. He showed up when he said he would and completed wiring our screen porch for a fan, installed the fan, and also replaced a screen door. His work is exceptional. However I was most impressed that he did what he said he was going to do. I have had way too many bad experiences of contractors not showing up after the estimate. Thank you Gene!"

"Jerry is such a nice guy. Easy to talk to and very professional. When he opened his work trailer I knew I had the right guy for the job. Everything in order - tools, saws, nails, screws, etc. all neat and clean. Jerry works the same way. The railing and steps came out really really nice. I would hire Jerry again in a heartbeat."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

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.

Yes, most services include necessary frame modifications for proper door fitting. Confirm with your provider.

Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.
