"John did an excellent job putting a 10 by 20 porch with roof on our new mobile home. The quality of his work is excellent. He underbid all other estimates from other contractors. We're very pleased with the quality of his work and overall professionalism. John just finished our project on 10/12/26 and we're already receiving compliments on his work from folks who are driving by. He has a very pleasant personality and is very easy to deal with."

"We hired Chad and his excellent crew to add a bedroom to a loft, along with multiple other plumbing and carpentry issues that needed to be addressed. He took care of the bedroom project, and all of the other ones in a very timely fashion. We were very impressed with the quality of his work, he was very easy to work with, and he actually went above and beyond and did more things than we asked. All of them were done very well. I would hire him again for any jobs."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

If you remove a load-bearing wall to create an entrance to a carport or covered patio, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,500, with an average cost of $6,400. Factors such as the type of addition and if that area needs additional work will add to the price.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

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.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.
