"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."

"Hired Michael for basement drywall finishing. He was excellent to work with from start to finish. Showed up to work when he said he would, did great quality work, and is very detail oriented. Extremely neat and tidy. Left the workspace cleaner than it started!"

"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!"

"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."

"We worked with Spensir and crew to build a Trex deck, they finished two weeks after we received city approvals. They were hardworking and kind and the deck is completely maintenance free. We're already getting quotes for our next project."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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. 

Bow windows need support because they are large and extend out from the exterior wall of the home. Bow windows may extend 1 foot to several feet from the outside of the home, so you’ll need to provide additional support to handle this weight. A window contractor will be able to provide the proper amount of support for your new bow window.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

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.

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.
