"Derek from D Design Woodworking created very cool dining chairs from ten (10) we picked-up in VERY rough condition. He also took-over and SAVED a dining room tables project for us! Take a look at the pics! Highly recommended."

"Robert was easy to work with and very much dedicated to doing a good job. He maintained a clearly defined schedule and was always on time. He was creative in figuring out how to strength my existing porch by adding additional board under the structure. This ended up giving me significant savings compared to another company that said they would wanted to rip off my existing porch and start all over. I never could have afforded that so I valued Robert's creative solution to keep the cost much lower. My thanks to Robert and Angi's."

"They were absolutely amazing to work with. Our house is 118 years old and they hadn't been updated since the 70s. They treated my home like their own. I am beyond happy with the end result"

"While EZ landscaping may be good for small projects, I would not recommend them for installing a new build yard. They took 3 months to finish the job, offering excuses, but no work. Our neighbors complained about the dirt washing into their yards and we received a letter from the Borough about the complaints. Not a good way to move into a new neighborhood. The yard is rough, with rocks and dirt still present after they planted grass."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

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.

Yes, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

Bow windows need support because they are large and extend out from the exterior wall of the home. Bow windows may extend 1 foot to several feet from the outside of the home, so you’ll need to provide additional support to handle this weight. A window contractor will be able to provide the proper amount of support for your new bow window.
