"Jesse did a wonderful replacing rotting wood around our bay window with composite. He was recommended to us by a painter we have used in the past and we will have him back to do other projects. He did a great job, was priced fairly, cleaned up, was knowledgeable and explained various options. Happy to have found a great carpenter!"

"Dave was very easy to work with. He was very prompt in replying once I sent out the request. He did a great job working with some large tiles that I picked out for a backsplash. He was very cognizant of keeping the areas clean. Very friendly and very hard-working. We really appreciated his services."

"Jeff was amazing! He came out same day to give an estimate for our sink install and the work was done the same week. Jeff came out during the sink install with his plumbing contractor and it was so smooth. We can’t wait to use Jeff again for future projects!! 10/10- highly recommend!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.

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.

There are both temporary and permanent ways to enclose a carport. If you’re looking to enclose your carport for the winter, a canvas enclosure could do the trick. It won’t be as protective as a permanent structure, but it can offer some protection from elements like snow, rain, and wind. For a permanent enclosure, you can add extra walls, add a new vertical roof, or a lean-to addition on one side of the structure.

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.
