"Had HD carpentry repair my deck steps, and add a new handrail. Excellent work, decent prices, very polite. Cleanup was immaculate. I would give them 10 stars if I could. I would definitely recommend them and I look forward to calling them again."

"Dave and Kathy were a great team. During the initial appraisal of the painting project, they made suggestions beyond the scope of what I had originally envisioned. Their suggestions to add lighting in a linen closet, paint ceiling tiles, update light fixtures, change out interior door knobs, etc. far exceeded painting in a two story staircase. The overall project has really updated our home. During the 4 days of the project, we established a mutual beginning time, and the work area was cleaned up at the end of the day. Dave considered making small changes to adhere to building code, such as placement of smoke alarms and height of the stairway handrail. Throughout the project, Dave replaced extra light bulbs, was responsive to adding an additional lighting project in the basement, and had great suggestions for future home improvements. We are extremely happy with the work done by Dave and Kathy, and will definitely look to them for future home improvement projects!"

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.

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.

Homeowners can increase the usefulness of their garage space in other ways, and one option is to extend the length of the garage by making it deeper. The process is similar to traditional garage extensions, but the end product is a garage with a different layout rather than additional parking spaces. 

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry.
