"This company tore down our 35 year old deck and rebuilt for us. We loved our new composite upper deck so much we hired him to deconstruct and reinforce our lower deck for a new hot tub. He also built two sets of stairs and did a beautiful job on our railings. He fit us into his schedule for pending delivery of new hot tub. His crew was great too. They also cleaned up the yard like new. His prices were fair and reasonable. We plan on hiring him for more work in the future and will always recommend. You wonâ t regret it."

"Roger’s work is ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️!!! I am lucky to have found him through Angi & have hired him for numerous projects on my house so far. He may not be the least expensive, but his product is top notch. Nickel City Repairs is my choice for my “honey do” list. My deck was so embarrassing to look at & I thought it was a lost cause, but Roger was able to salvage the foundation & repair the boards that were in destitute shape. With his staining & painting it looks fresh again & I am hopeful to enjoy it for several years to come. Now, I love to entertain in my backyard!"

"Dalton and his associate did an excellent job of sanding scraping and painting an old deck. They also put on a new railing. To my surprise they built a beautiful wood railing rather than buying a ready-made metal one. The result was better than I had expected."

"Sabino was great to work with. He was professional and thorough when initially inspecting roof. He completed a major job with tear off of layers of asphalt and cedar shingles. He installed the new roof with quality products. Most importantly he worked well with us in a honest manner when issues arose to rebuild a chimney and replace beams on a rotting porch. His prices were very reasonable. He did a solid job cleaning up the area when finished. It is never an easy experience to have an old roof torn off and replaced, but Sabino and his workers made the experience positive."

"Nick was very professional and knowledgeable. He was able to answer all of my questions and also made some great suggestions that I didn’t even think of. He was able to get my project done faster than anyone else I checked out and the finished chairs look amazing. I am very happy with the entire experience and can’t wait to show off my new chairs!"

"American Exterior replaced my shed roof,and they did an excellent job. The sales rep arrived at my home on time and provided a quote for job within a short time The quote was well within my budget so I scheduled the job. The employees showed up on time and had the job completed within 3 hours or so. When finished they did an excellent job of cleaning up the job site. I wouldn’t hesitate to have American Exteriors do more work at my home"

I’ve worked in commercial carpentry for 3 years with the union. Decided to switch to remodeling and worked for a company called Cortese Construction for the last 3 years. There I learned how to renovate both large and small kitchen and bathrooms. I can set cabinets, install LVP flooring, tile, hang and finish drywall, paint, install windows and doors, trim, and framing. I can work in the Erie and Niagara county areas.

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

You can enclose an open carport, however, there are several things to consider before opting to do so. You'll want to check local building codes and permit requirements before proceeding to make sure it’s legal. While you can sometimes stick-frame a carport enclosure, pre-fab kits are also available. Remember that you'll likely need to meet concrete slab regulations and provide lighting inside the structure. Both of which could substantially drive up costs.

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.
