"Chris and Cameron did fantastic work installing a wood fence. They worked around rainy weather issues to get the fence done quickly. Chris took care of pulling the needed permits and worked directly with the city building department. Very thankful for the work they did!"

"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."

"Chris was extremely professional and very skilled at his trade. He completed the work within 2 days of our first contact and kept excellent communication about costs, time of arrival for first consultation and date of service. The projects were challenging and he did incredible carpentry. He was very good at keeping the area clean and respectful of my home. We have already discussed additional work that he will do on the house. I am excited to work with him again and recommend him without reservation. He is a breath of fresh air for someone to really work with a homeowner!"

"Frank did an excellent job of listening to my design ideas and completing them. He brought samples of counter tops and paint choices to make sure everything matched what I was looking for. He also was knowledgeable enough to recommend buying flat front cabinets and replacing flat fronts with bead board instead (which saved me a lot of money). Everything looks wonderful! I would highly recommend him for almost any interior work on a home."

"AJ can do it all! He is very friendly, professional, shows up on time and you can depend him. He changed my countertops and backsplash, updated doorknobs, did electrical work, plumbing, and custom made some transition strips in my doorways. He knows his stuff, prices fair, and I would recommend him to anyone. Will definitely work with him again in the future."

"Spensir and his team of contractors did a kitchen remodel for us this fall. The kitchen is absolutely wonderful and exactly what we wanted. His team, composed of painters, plumbers, electricians and countertop men were all exceptional! They were always on time as expected or I was notified early with a schedule change. They were professional and courteous in our home. I highly recommend them for your project"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry.
