"We needed a door frame taken off to get a new refrigerator into our kitchen. He quickly and cleanly removed the existing door frame. Since our appliance delivery was delayed, he worked with our schedules to get the trim out redone afterwards. Once we gave him the greenlight, he was able to complete the new trim out and paint matched. Highly professional, quality workmanship"

"It was wonderful to work with tony. He had great ideas. He also helped me make the entire deck better, sturdier, safer and more aesthetically pleasing. Very easy to talk to and on top of his projects. The only reason for a 4.0 for value was not even tony s Fault. rather it s the fact that I wasn t extremely ready for that much of a higher premium for trex decking. I didn t feel forced to make this decision. I was presented with good options. I hope to not ever need to repair my deck but should I ever have a deck to build in the future in another home, I know who to call!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

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.

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.
