"Rob is honest and does a tremendous job. His work was exactly how we designed it and he uses techniques that other carpenters do not have the ability to match. He was on time, on budget, clean and very courteous. Highly recommend!"

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!"

"Frank and his team were outstanding. They were hired due to some unforeseen structural issues that were occurring on our recent HVAC system install. Frank and his came in on short notice and very quickly helped do a complete framing install in our attic. Frank was friendly and communicated everything he was doing. It put my mind at ease that we had experienced professionals handling the work. I would highly recommend Frank for any home remodeling work and plan to use him again for future projects."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.

Metal stud framing parts include the studs themselves, upper and lower tracks that act as top and bottom wall plates, various angle fasteners and clips, screws for fastening pieces togeher, metal straps, c-channel supports, and thicker steel supporting structures. Roof framing metal components include pre-fabricated trusses, heavy-gauge stud pieces, and various plates and fasteners.

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.

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.

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.
