"Miguel and his team did an outstanding job restaining our deck and building a raised planter bed into the deck for growing vegetables. Both look amazing and his prices were very reasonable. He is also a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a master carpenter."

"Eric did a fantastic job of designing and building shelving to organize bins. He also built an awesome workbench with several drawers and an open space for stools. Additionally, he put up 3 metal peg boards over the work bench and throughout the garage to hang toolss for different purposes such as short and long tools for gardening"

"Michael and his co-worker were prompt, neat, respectful of our property, took the time to do all necessary prep work, and professional. They did carpentry work as well as painting. They showed up on time and completed the job quickly. They did excellent work. Michael returns phone calls, visited the site, gave a prompt proposal and gave us a reasonable start date. These are qualities that are hard to find! Highly recommend."

"We had a wonderful experience with Fabian who replaced our shower and sink in the bathroom (as well as building BEAUTIFUL shelves) and he replaced our screen door. He was very flexible and accommodating to our needs. He made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. No more worrying about finding a great contractor - we've found him!"

"First I was planning to power-wash and stain the deck, but Orlando talked me into power-wash the whole house and paint as well. The price was reasonable. Even though the work was postponed due to the rain, Orlando called and emailed constantly to give me their schedule. They exchanged the top part of the deck and repaired here and there, and I find their carpentry skills are excellent. I definitely will ask him to do something around the house in the future."

"The best contractor I ever hired, hands down. Prompt, professional, friendly, responsive, reasonable, respectful. I wholeheartedly recommend his services. Hugo showed up on time, the job was done efficiently and as scheduled. He did a fantastic job tiling my bathroom. I am looking forward to my next project, and will definitely be calling Hugo again."

"Manny and his crew did an outstanding job. And this system forced me to select one thing, bathroom remodel, but Manny has completely rebuilt a roof, and rooftop deck, painted interior and exteriors (including difficult to reach crown molding on the 3rd floor), and of course, refinished a bathroom. Manny and his team show up on time, every time, and they work hard to get the job done. Pricing is very fair and I honestly work with them as often as possible. Highly recommend!!"

"Jireh was able to rebuild my window, custom carpentry to replace a piece of the 8 pane, 70 yr old wooden window. Significant difference between repair cost and replacing the window with new. Job was quoted and scheduled correctly, no delays or addl costs. I would work with Jireh on any carpentry needs in the future."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

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. 

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.
