"I am in the military and have moved over a dozen times in my 20 years of service. As such, I am used to moving into new homes at new duty stations and am often looking to do some fixing up after arriving. It was no different when I arrived in Rhode Island. We hired Tom Harrop of Harrop and Son for our basement and double bathroom remodel. He was the first contractor to respond to the request for an estimate and called several times as I interviewed other companies. He was patient and waited for me to complete the interview process. In the end I chose him not just for his price point, but he was genuinely excited about helping me out and seemed very much in sync with our ideas. We ended up hiring Tom, Mike, Mark, and the rest of his crew and couldn't be any happier. Tom gave us the exact basement we pictured but also added countless little finishing touches that made the 5 weeks he spent in our home actually enjoyable. He is very trustworthy, easy to talk to, and works with you throughout the entire process. The initial contract was to finish a basement, first floor bathroom remodel, and paint out the first floor and stairwell. Tom took it upon himself to also install some extra much needed storage, including custom shelving, and countless other touches. As he neared completion, we extended his contract to a complete demo/remodel of the upstairs second bath. After he was done with it, I think it might be nicer than the master! Bottom line, you won't do any better than Harrop and Son. His price was more than fair, stayed exactly on budget, was easy to work with and end result was magnificent. I will definitely be using him again. He has earned my 5 star recommendation!!"

"Platinum Carpentry was great to work with. The owner Dean is a very nice guy and easy to work with. The quality of his work is outstanding. We were out of town when the project was scheduled to start and Dean kept us updated on the progress and a few delays that were encountered due to weather, etc. We are very pleased with how the deck turned out and we would not hesitate to hire Dean and his crew again for future projects."

"After purchasing an Angie's List Deal, I received the measuring kit in the mail promptly. The template and instructions provided to draw my split table top and each of the leaves were easy to use and understand. I mailed the completed materials and received the table pads very quickly. The table splits in the middle to allow insertion of up to 3 additional leaves. The table also has 2 drop leaves. That's 7 pads. All fit perfectly. I have used them on the table for family parties (not every day) and they're durable and built to last. I keep them in the box they arrived in to protect them when not in use. These are a worthwhile investment."

"These guys are the greatest! They saved us a lot of money! We had a dumpster before the bullbag and for 3 tons of material and a week rental of the dumpster it cost us $486! We own the bullbag now, had a full bag - 3.5 tons - picked up and it was only $229! We didn't have any rental charges, excess weight fees, or anything! These guys did everything they said they would! OMG! Everyone should use these guys!!!!! Also, I got the bullbag back! I never have to buy another one and its ready to use whenever I feel like doing a clean out or renovation."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.

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.

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.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.
