"Steve assembled a trampoline for me in about 3 hours on a Friday morning. He was kind, knowledgeable, and communicative throughout the whole process. He broke a bolt during installation and drove to the local hardware store to replace it. He also hauled all the trash away for a small, reasonable extra fee that was negotiated in the spot. Zero complaints. Just good work. Steve will be the first person I call for assistance with other jobs from now on for sure. Thank you!"

"What a great experience with Travis - professional, honest, timely, and a good communicator. I had a 14 year old deck that looked tired and needed a new look .Travis suggested we were able to still use the frame and totally update everything else( composite floor and steps, wood railings and aluminum balusters) for a very good cost savings over most , or should I say ALL other deck builders!!!! I appreciate his honesty and forthrightness during the whole process. There was no long wait to rebuild it or no delays during the process. My deck is beautiful, It speaks quality. I am happy. Such a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend. Thank you Travis."

"First class company. We initially received a free estimate based on the work we wanted done on the driveway. Their price was right in the ballpark with other estimates. However, what sold us on the The Driveway Lady was the confidence and knowledge exhibited. Every question was answered expertly and every challenge we presented was mitigated. They offered great suggestions to make the project not only eye appealing, but cost effective as well. We had two visits by the owner to make sure the job was going well and that we were satisfied. Strongly recommend The Driveway Lady, LLC to anyone needing driveway repair and resurfacing and/or concrete work."

"James possesses a knack for design as well as keen attention to detail. His pricing is competitive and often below what comparable services offer. I was well-pleased with his work. It turned out beautiful! In addition, he did a backsplash with arabesque style tile, put up a stove hood, installed a shiplap wall and redid framing around windows and doors, plus additional framing."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.

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 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.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

A-frame homes are on the smaller side. While there’s no set square footage amount it has to be, it will usually come in around 1,000 square feet or smaller.
