"Joe and Brian worked together well as a team. They were professional and courteous working thru rain and hot weather. They brought the staircase up to code as it passed inspections. New staircase is solid and looks great. Definitely recommend HD Finished Carpentry."

"We recently hired ZVL Contracting LLC to install our new patio, and the results were outstanding. From the very beginning, the team demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a genuine commitment to quality. The entire process was smooth and well organized. Communication was excellent, the crew arrived on time, and they kept the work area clean and safe throughout the project. They paid close attention to every detail and took pride in their workmanship, ensuring that the finished patio exceeded our expectations. The quality of the installation is exceptional. The patio is not only beautiful but also built with precision and care. It has completely transformed our outdoor space and has already become a favorite gathering place for family and friends. What impressed us most was the team’s dedication to customer satisfaction. They listened to our ideas, answered all of our questions, and made sure we were happy with every aspect of the project. I highly recommend ZVL Contracting L"

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

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. 

Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.
