"Jeff did a beautiful job transforming our upstairs powder room into a full fledged bathroom. It was not a simple project since he had to build out the alcove for the shower stall even before building the stall itself. But everything was done with skill, professionalism, a concern for our having to live in the house and an extraordinary attention to detail that extended all the way to where towel racks should go. Jeff has also installed a dishwasher and garbage disposal for us. - from scratch - with excellent results. Jeff is a problem solver, the sort of professional you want for any job. We urge anyone who wants a home project accomplished well at a reasonable price to hire Jeff. You will be satisfied with the results."

Customers say: Quality work

"I have been working with Mike on medium to small jobs at my house since December. Some of the things he’s done have been to re-tile my tub surround, replace my bathroom floor, replace the toilet, install shoe molding, build a door to the shower access panel and many other smaller repairs and improvements. Mike is probably the most reliable contractor I have ever worked with. He is punctual, always calls in advance to confirm appointments, follows up to see if repairs are holding up and is courteous and respectful of my home and my belongings. He cleans up thoroughly at the end of the day and puts things back even if he’s coming back the next day. His prices are more than reasonable and he always produces receipts for anything he purchases for the work. Mike is very hard working and does excellent work which is sometimes difficult as my house is almost 100 years old. Additionally, he makes every effort to work around my schedule. I would recommend Mike for any type of project you have in your home."

"Deck Works, LLC did an excellent job for me. I needed an outdoor fence repair, and after finding them on Angie’s List, they called me right away and came out promptly to assess the project. They explained the repair clearly, and the cost was very reasonable. The work was completed exactly as promised, and I couldn’t have been happier with the results. A few days later, a tree limb fell during a storm, so I contacted them again to see if they could remove it. They came out the very next day and took care of it. I really appreciate their quick response, professionalism, and willingness to help. I would highly recommend Deck Works, LLC."

"Corey is a great guy! Very professional and hard working. We had him add trimwork to our two story wall to frame out our living room and foyer. The wood that is on our railing to our loft was installed 20 years ago. He managed to mix stains together to come up with a very close color. It looks beautiful! We will definitely hire him for other projects!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

You can enclose an open carport, however, there are several things to consider before opting to do so. You'll want to check local building codes and permit requirements before proceeding to make sure it’s legal. While you can sometimes stick-frame a carport enclosure, pre-fab kits are also available. Remember that you'll likely need to meet concrete slab regulations and provide lighting inside the structure. Both of which could substantially drive up costs.

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

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.
