"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."

"Rob is honest and does a tremendous job. His work was exactly how we designed it and he uses techniques that other carpenters do not have the ability to match. He was on time, on budget, clean and very courteous. Highly recommend!"

"Mike Concheck from MDG Maintenance repaired our roof and then fixed the ceiling where the roof leak had left damage. He did a great job on both projects, finishing in one day. We have called MDG Maintenance twice now, and both times we have been very pleased with the workmanship and professionalism of the service contractors. What a relief it is as a homeowner to be able to call upon a reliable company to do those jobs we cannot do ourselves."

"JCJ Builders was a great company to work with and they produced a beautiful kitchen in my 1920s home. Jeff Jones was professional and thorough. He had a very detailed approach to our remodel. Every step was carefully planned and executed. He kept to the time lines established and managed all of his trades well. The job site was left clean at the end of every day. We received daily updates on the progress and were contacted immediately when decisions needed to be made. Jeff listened to what we wanted and advised us on the best products and finishes for our project. He also worked to keep us comfortable and safe in our home during the renovation by setting up a temporary kitchen for us to use and mandating procedures for workers necessary during the pandemic. The quality of work was excellent and we appreciated the time and effort spent to preserve and enhance the 1920s charm of our home. We are 100% satisfied with the finished project which included an entirely brand new kitchen, removal of a wall, refinishing all of the floors and painting all of walls and wood trim on the first floor, refacing the fireplace and installing new patio doors as well as a new hot water heater. JCJ Builders did it all. We will be scheduling our second floor project with them in the future. I highly recommend Jeff and his team at JCJ Builders to anyone considering a renovation."

"Perhaps the most important thing to know is that the deck project completed by Specialscapes was the second project for which Jay was hired. The first being last year as we were quite happy with the work and the manner in which Jay and his crew conduct themselves."

"We had a inground pool installed this past year by Chad Zaber construction The planning, the workmanship and finished product were nothing short of outstanding. All deadlines were met or exceeded, which is a very rare thing to happen in todayâ  s world with a shortage of labor. Chad laid out a plan, communicated the plan and delivered. I would highly recommend Zaber construction for any inground pool or any other construction projects that he does. Chad is a rarity in todayâ  s unstable contractor world. Also the follow up throughout the summer and through the closing on the pool was outstanding. Chad had great follow up and answers any questions that we needed throughout the season.

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

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

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.

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. 

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.
