"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"

"About a year ago, Tony and Mike did a fantastic job tearing out the original cedar deck (that was rotting away) and replaced it with a sleek, modern looking composite flooring and wire railing. We noticed a riser on the step was warping. I texted Tony, and within a week Mike came by and replaced it. They stand behind their work, great communication and followup, provide excellent value and craftsmanship."

"The work was good, my only complaint was Nael was late for the initial appointment then Hector the carpenter was unable to start work on schedule, missed a day and arrived an hour late the next day. The work was done but ended up having to be finished in the rain. Both men are competent and likable but need to improve timings."

"Originally, I called Structured Holdings L.L.C. for a deck repair bid on a home I was in contract to purchase. Aaron completed the bid, but I did not buy the home.   3 wks. Later I bought a different home & Aaron completed a few beautiful upgrades! He installed (2) new doors, a barn door with an attractive interface, and a basement privacy door. He also installed custom banister railings to my upstairs, including a removal piece for access as needed. The design was unique and considering it was a concern of mine - he did an outstanding job! He also installed (3) new handrails to code. The paint job was exceptional and exceeded my expectations. Aaron was punctual, his work is amazing, and he is reasonably priced. He showed lots of patience with me being a new homeowner by guiding me with my list of needs and safety concerns. I will be calling Structured Holdings L.L.C. again soon! Thank you again Aaron, you have been a blessing to my family :)"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

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.

Yes, using certified lumber and engineered wood products for reduced environmental impact.

The cost to install a bow window can range from $1,500 to $15,000, with a national average of $3,900. The total price includes materials, which can cost between $1,200 and over $14,000, and labor, which typically adds $300 to $1,900. Several factors influence the final cost, including the window's size and frame material. For example, vinyl frames are the most budget-friendly option, while wood frames are more expensive. Custom features or energy-efficient upgrades will also increase the price. For comparison, a bay window installation typically costs between $1,000 and $7,000.
