"I couldn't be happier with the new deck Steve and Orme Construction built for me. From start to finish, Steve made the entire process incredibly easy and stress-free. He was transparent and communicative every step of the way. The quality of the work is outstanding. I've never seen better craftsmanship, and the attention to detail exceeded all of my expectations. The finished deck looks amazing! If you're looking for a contractor who takes pride in his work, I highly recommend Steve and Orme Construction."

"Larry is an excellent contractor; I believe him to be quite straightforward & honest. Project went way past scheduled completion but much of that was as due to issues uncovered in remodeling a 100 yr old house. As soon as the rain stops, the painting can be finishrd & it will be 100 percent done. I am very satisfied."

"Carl and crew came out the day after I called to do an estimate and the job was done to our satisfaction within a few days after that. In Southern Oregon it can be very difficult to get quality work done in a short amount of time. Carl was on it and made sure we were completely happy with the job. I would definitely hire him again."

"Chris was referred to me from a friend who he done work for. We were under tight time frame to get facia repaired from Home inspection to close sale on the house. Chris went to the house sent pictures of work needed to be done and provided a quote that evening that was lower than 2 others. Did the work on Labor day ,9/4/23 in one day and did the job correctly, replacing sheet of plywood and new roofing plus facia, trim and painting. Sent me pictures of final work. We live on Eugene, OR and rental was in North Bend. Chris was great to work with, would highly recommend him."

"I never contacted the provider or used this service in anyway. I have to
write this review so that the request to write this review stops
popping up.
The rating is bogus as it is required to be able to submit.

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

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.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry.
