"Dave is meticulous, reliable, and honest. He has done a variety of projects for me from building horse fencing to creating a rock base for my new barn, as well as taking down trees, clearing brush, and helping me figure out the location of my septic drain field. One of the things I am most grateful for is his generosity with advising me on projects. I could not have built my barn myself without his expert guidance on topics like choosing a circular saw. He even helped me find a good deal on plywood! Dave has a vast knowledge base and is a super kind person. He will talk through all the options for a project from bare minimum to best possible option, and work within my budget to pick the best solution."

"Tony has now helped with two of my personal remodel projects. He's done everything from structural beams, framing, entire bathrooms, to architectural carpentry & woodworking. He's efficient and bring solutions rather than "problems". Worth every $ and will hire again."

"Highly recommended. I would hire them again. Douglas is very knowledgeable. He not only did as promised, but added on work without taking advantage. His crew is excellent as well. Not only did the work how and when promised, but also top-notch quality."

"Martin and his crew tore up a paver patio and partial lawn and installed a beautiful patio with pavers and river rock. On time and worked quickly! I was really happy with how I was treated and the quality of work they did. It was a small project which I sometimes have a hard time finding people for and Martin was eager and made me feel like it was worth his time."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.

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.

Professionals charge between $60 and $95 per hour to install ornamental porch columns. The amount of time they need varies based on the condition of the porch, whether they need to remove old columns, and if there is any damage to your porch's structure. This cost can increase if more issues come up during the installation process.

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.
