"I have been remodeling my bathrooms. Cole from S & D Carpentry reinstalled the baseboard, using baseboard that had been removed from another part of the house. He also added the shoe molding. He was very efficient and cleaned up afterward. Even though this was a relatively small job, I would recommend S & D Carpentry for carpentry work around my home."

Customers say: True professional

"We hired Chris and his team to build us a 5 foot tall shadowbox fence in rocky river and the fence is beautiful. His communication was excellent throughout then entire project. I believe I call him on a Wednesday or Thursday and he came and quoted us that Saturday morning. In addition, he got us in fast and understood our need to get our toddler fenced in immediately to prevent him running to our front yard ( on a busy street). We were originally supposed to get the fence install started the weekend after Easter due to us needing to clear out bushes, etc. However, when we finished our yard work early he started the fence 2 days later and had it done before Easter. Fence build took 4 days total and his team was very respectful or our neighbors and our own property and flower beds. I would highly recommend this company and plan to get our next project quoted soon!"

"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!"

"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."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

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.

The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.
