"I can’t recommend Farzad highly enough! He completely transformed my home from top to bottom. He installed beautiful new flooring throughout the house, replaced all of the windows, and completely remodeled my bathrooms. Every part of the project was completed with exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. Farzad was professional, reliable, and easy to work with from start to finish. He communicated clearly throughout the entire process, showed up when he said he would, and made sure everything was done the right way. His work exceeded my expectations, and the finished result has completely changed the look and feel of my home. If you’re looking for an honest, skilled, and dependable contractor who truly takes pride in his work, I highly recommend Farzad. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again for future projects. Thank you for the incredible work!"

"Joe has been very professional and we are very happy with work so far. Weather stopped us short of finishing in fall, so looking forward to seeing everything complete. I have a relative who is a retired professional painter. He gave me a list of questions to ask. Joe answers were all what I was told to expect from a quality painter. We would use Joe again for projects or painting."

Unfinished Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

Metal stud framing parts include the studs themselves, upper and lower tracks that act as top and bottom wall plates, various angle fasteners and clips, screws for fastening pieces togeher, metal straps, c-channel supports, and thicker steel supporting structures. Roof framing metal components include pre-fabricated trusses, heavy-gauge stud pieces, and various plates and fasteners.

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.

Yes, professionals can install new frames, trim, and threshold adjustments for a complete finish.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.
