"Steve not only does excellent work, but is very friendly and reasonably priced. He not only replaced our existing windows and patio slider, but redid all of the interior and exterior trim as well. Everything looks beautiful, and we couldnâ t be more pleased. He explained everything before and during the process, so we knew exactly what to expect. Steve has done other work for us as well, including gutter and fascia repairs, lighting installation, and general carpentry. Heâ s truly a Jack of all trades, and I highly recommend him for any home improvement projects you might have!"

Quickly returned calls and kept me informed every step of the project. Already have plans to use them in the near future. Many thanks to Vincent and Drake for a job well done!

"I’m very happy with the work done by Dan from Westside Home Improvement. He was very professional and super knowledgeable about everything from the beginning to the end of the project; he was consistently communicative; and he gave me a fair price for the quality and quantity of work that he did. Now my deck looks nearly like new! I would definitely recommend Westside Home Improvement to anyone looking to get home repairs done!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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

Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

If you remove a load-bearing wall to create an entrance to a carport or covered patio, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,500, with an average cost of $6,400. Factors such as the type of addition and if that area needs additional work will add to the price.
