"Jayme and his crew were fantastic. They built me a beautiful new deck, took down the old one, and did multiple other repairs to spruce up my backyard. They know their stuff, were efficient and speedy, and showed the expertise needed to create a really fine product. I really appreciate all the suggestions and help that Jayme gave me along the way, very professional, knowledgeable and trustworthy. I'm already looking forward to the next project that we're planning."

"My wife and I hired H&L Construction back in September of 2024 to replace my shingled roof to tin. The shingles were beyond repair and I needed the job done asap. Michael from H&L came out and did an estimate on the materials I needed. After purchasing everything on his list we set a date to proceed. H&L came prepared and on time. With some experienced roofing family members helping out. The job moved along very quickly . Michael from H&L construction took the lead as the foreman and guided the crew with all the measurements ,cuts and angles needed. The job flowed along nice and easy. Thank you to H&L construction for a job well done. Phenomenal work and rates even better. We ended up saving almost five thousand from a previous estimate 🥳. Five star rating and would recommend to anyone looking for honest professionals!!!"

"John and his team arrived on time every single day for the three consecutive days it took to paint the entire interior of my house. Not only was John tasked with painting, but he was also asked to replace a lot of broken molding and baseboards. The work performed was truly exceptional and exceeded my expectations. I will be hiring John again this spring to do some more exterior painting for my barn, as well as some unrelated exterior work on my house."

"John was very professional and produced quality work. He was very prompt and polite and did everything he said he would do, in the time he committed, and at a fair price. I have already hired him to do some more work and would recommend to others without reservation. Two thumbs up!"

"Darin and his crew at Hilltop were professional, courteous, knowledgeable and timely. Hilltop handled the excavation, permits, concrete pour, framing, electrical, roofing, siding, and finish of the garage project. It will definitely be an added value to my home. Hilltop did an excellent job, especially in the adverse winter conditions. I would absolutely hire Darin/Hilltop again. Darin was also excellent in communicating via email, text, and/or voice. This was a convenience to me as I do not have cell reception at work."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

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

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.
