"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."

"I hired Jerry initially to install a new driveway. Not only was he fast and efficient he has a good eye for detail he is a perfectionist. He exceeded my vision of what I initially wanted and the project was completed far exceeded my expectations. I found him to be so knowledgeable I hired him to do additional work on my house. He remodeled my bathroom, installed and wired a washer dryer , installed new lighting in my kitchen that came out amazing, Installed a electric stove, built a 14 foot deck and did various landscaping projects around the property to solve my flooding problems. Jerry has years of experience and was also able to build me a custom screen door , and was able to easily solve any issues that occurred.He is not only professional and friendly I would without question hire him again for future projects ."

"Mike was great to work with! He worked with me on designing the rebuilding of my porch. He gave me estimates from the low end to the high end of what I was looking to do and explained everything in detail. Mike responded very promptly with all correspondence and was quick to tweak anything to my liking. He and his crew were prompt and hardworking. I highly recommend Top Flight for any projects you may have!"

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

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. 

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.

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.
