"Joe is an amazing carpenter; the project came out beautifully and was the icing on the cake to complete the molding around the French Doors and windows we had installed. The one thing I found different about Joe in all the work we have had done over the years is his ability to listen to the homeowners concerns along the way and share his thoughts and his plan. He is polite, respectful and engaging. We are certainly planning to hire him again. "

"George and his team did a wonderful job replacing my basement stairs. I had 9 1/4” treads that were dangerous, and I hated going down to do my laundry. He made sure my steps were regulation size and very safe. I feel so much more confident on my new steps. George was prompt, protected my floors, cleaned up, and most of all he listened to what I needed and made it happen. Highly recommend. "

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

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

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

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.
