"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!"

"From the initial service call through completion, Tri-State was a pleasure to work with. Jim arrived earlier than expected, took the time to understand my vision, and got right to work. The finished work was flawless. As a first-time homeowner, I especially appreciated Jim sharing some valuable carpentry tips that I’ll be able to use for years to come. I’ll definitely be calling Tri-State first for any future home repairs. Thank you!"

"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."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

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, professionals can install new frames, trim, and threshold adjustments for a complete finish.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.
