Customers say: Quick response

"Rob did an amazing job. He has great attention to detail. What impressed me the most was his level of communication. I always had an update from him and he was very timely to respond to any inquiry I had. The job was to frame up a basement bathroom and small laundry room with a pocket door. I would recommend him for any carpentry work and plan to call on him for another job I have in the future."

"Lance Home Repairs did a fantastic job with my porch door frame. It had a lot of rotten wood and he was able to fix it and install a new door in a day. We needed it done quickly for our Airbnb. Very friendly and professional."

"This company did an outstanding job in removing and building a new covered deck on our house. Jim and his crew were always prompt, courteous and cared about the work they were doing and the finished project. They went above and beyond what I expected on the construction of our beautiful, enjoyable summer retreat (our new covered deck). They deserve your consideration on the next job you want to have done. I highly recommend them!"

"Complete bathroom remodel - Jeff did a fabulous job on our design and build project to renovate the main bathroom in our 1920s home. He fabricated wainscot which matched our downstairs original wood work and created a custom built cabinet that looks like it’s been there all along. He coordinated a terrific team that installed a custom cherry vanity, a beautiful marble floor, and a large cast iron tub with a quartz bench and subway tile surround to the ceiling. His attention to detail and craftsmanship allowed us to get the beautiful space we had imagined. Jeff had done a kitchen renovation for us 4 years ago and there was no question who we were going to hire to complete our bathroom. His open communication and care for our home made the project run smoothly. We highly recommend Jeff for any design and build project you may have. Carrie and Kevin Ziegman"

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

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.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.
