"Our home is a 50's cape cod. What that means in real language is that nothing is square. Everything has settled so that there are indents, misalignments, etc. everywhere! Our dog did some major damage on bay window sill as well. Dave first did work for my husband over 20 years ago. Nothing has changed in all that time. He does the quality work now that he did then. In fact, he's better! He estimated the job, advised me where I could get the best costs on tile and styles (as I wanted to pick out the finishes). Gave me a spot on estimate of the time it would take and - as always - arrived at the hour promised to complete the task. It is beautiful and we absolutely love it! Somehow, he worked his magic to make the lines look straight!"

"Good customer service. Installer of repair service should keep his day job and give up carpentry. He made an extra saw cut into a board that was not going to be repaired. Due to a measurement error(?) one of the deck board was pieced instead of all one length. He had to make an extra trip to buy screws since they were not included with the supplies. When the carpentry was completed the installer left and I had to sweep the sawdust off the deck so we could walk on it. A pile of old wood was left for someone else to clean up later. Deck Pro came back a few days later to replace the boards and clean up their junk. The deck now looks good."

"I had a fantastic experience with Parker Contracting. They responded quickly to my inquiry and completed my deck repair project in a timely manner. Even though the job turned out to be larger than anticipated, they honored their original quote, showing exceptional integrity. The professional work crew ensured a smooth process from start to finish. My deck was severely sagging, but after two days, it looks like new and I can enjoy it for the rest of the season and for years to come. I highly recommend Parker for their outstanding service and attention to detail."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

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.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

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.
