"He helped us install a French door, open a wall to the kitchen, add framing, and reinforce our basement joists. He is professional, skilled, and reliable, with excellent carpentry expertise. He is also honest about what he can offer and upfront about areas outside his scope of interest or expertise. I strongly recommend him."

"Excellent ‐ I currently live in a house that TrokStar Construction completely gutted and rebuilt. Neighbors often will stop by saying they can't believe it's the same house. The interior came out stunning ‐ I especially enjoy the modern kitchen and bathroom. The highlight though is probably the handed crafted fireplace mantle and frame. I would highly recommend TrokStar for any construction project, big or small."

"Sam added crown molding to our dining room and did a fantastic job! It was not the easiest job considering we have an older home with unevenness and an awkward corner fireplace to work around. He was reasonably priced , very professional, and a great communicator compared to my experience with other contractors. I would hire him again in a heartbeat!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.

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. 

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.
