"From the beginning Brian Murphy handled the project efficiently and professionally. It seemed like as soon as I called, the work was started. The fence was started yesterday and finished today. Alex, Brian and Jeff were very professional and performed an amazing job! No disruption in our daily schedule, they were in and out. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND these individuals to perform any fencing needs you have. We will be contacting them again for other projects! Thanks much!"

"Noah has done vinyl siding, fencing, and basements windows, and pruning/tree trimming for me. He has done a fabulous job with all four jobs. I highly recommend him and his work. However, please know if its a higher paying job in front of your job...he is going to that job before your job. So, if you don't mind waiting a few days in between your job, and I don't, now that I realize that...then he proves to be well worth the wait. Victoria K-Oakwood, Ohio 45419"

"We were extremely fortunate to have Rob leading the renovation of the entire first floor of our 3k+ sq/ft home. It was a huge job; starting with the removal of a load baring wall in our kitchen. This specific task required several sub contractors that Rob coordinated with and executed flawlessly. Some other large tasks were assembling and installing wood cabinets (including soft close glides and hardware), installing vinyl plank flooring, custom range hood, custom stairway, custom wet bar, custom French doors and pocket door, bathroom vanity, and redesigning a fireplace mantle. Many of these tasks were not traditional requests, but Rob was more than willing to try new techniques to meet our specific needs. We really appreciated his positive attitude and genuine passion for his work. It should also be noted that we lived in our house full time while the renovation took place (to include our 3 young boys, ages 5,3 and 1.) Rob and his team went above and beyond to make sure our family could function in the kitchen at all times. They were also extremely patient and kind with our very curious boys. Rob and his team became our boys favorite people! We definitely plan to use Rob again for future home projects."

"They came out to my house on time to look at my barn roofs and got me an estimate that night. They were the only company that did what they promised. So I hired them and Joshua gave me a 14 day window to do my job and they showed up on day 7. Project was completed and they did an awesome job. I’m so happy that I chose this company and I highly recommend them to everyone and my family plus friends. Way to go guys."

Customers say: Terrific value

"I contacted Village Craftworks (Antonio) to solve two difficult problems at my home. Antonio analyzed both problems and resolved each problem competently, professionally, and completely. It's not just the skill but the experience. I especially appreciate that they only schedule projects a few weeks ahead so that my small project isn't languishing for months. Cost is fine, quality is exceptional and communications are easy. As a homeowner and satisfied customer of Village Craftworks, they have my strongest endorsement."

"TPM is an excellent company to do business with. They built my fence on the property just after I bought it so that I had a run for my dogs. Fence and three gates are very solid and one of them is large enough for my 48” riding mower. In other words the work they do is customized to your needs. They also built my 24’X 36’ workshop and I could not be happier with it. My only regret is that I did not have TPM pour the concrete slab as they would have done that work cheaper and the quality would have been far better. TPM just recently added a 10’X24’ lean to shed for my workshop so that I can now store my tractor out of the weather. There is nothing I would not trust TPM to do for me and I would give them the highest recommendation. Really good people doing excellent work!!!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

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.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

Stick frames, metal frames, or prefabricated concrete frames are included in framing a house, along with creating the framework and space for windows, doors, and entryways. Other aspects of developing a home—like drywall, insulation, windows, doors, and more—are not included in the cost to frame a house.
