"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"

"Alexsei came through when we were really in a pinch. We were having new florring installed and found disaster under the carpet. Alexsei was fast to respond to my call, came out immediately to assess the job and finished two difficult projects in one week! We are very happy with the quality of work and speediness of completion. I'd recommend Patron General Construction to anyone needing carpentry work done."

"I was very pleased with the outcome of our project to add a pocket door. Paul Marteeny approached it as I had hoped: doing his best not to destroy anything unnecessarily, re-using existing trim if it could go back in, and purchasing/installing all needed pieces. He treated the wall as if it was load bearing, even though it wasn't (better to be sure). Even though our house is not "true," Paul managed to make the adjustments needed for the frame. He provided me with good guidance to open up one side of the wall myself, allowing quick installation of the initial "slab." He gave me a brakedown of his proposal. This allowed us to agree to an amended proposal when it was clear some of the work would be different. This was a clear indicator for me that I would enjoy working with Paul Marteeny. As with all things, there were some concerns: not getting my own copy of the agreement, difficulty in getting responses through email. It was finished, though, and we are enjoying the new door!"

"The guy who showed up was not able to complete the work. He said the estimate was not done correctly and there was not enough time and he needed help. We agreed on a compromise to just have him paint the porch. He was nice, but the work I hired the firm to do was not completed."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

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.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.
