"Lucas & Tiago did an amazing job. They are skilled carpenters who were easy to communicate with and made intelligent suggestions for implementing our unique stairway handrail design. Their work was speedy, efficient, and of the highest quality. Also they meticulously cleaned up after they finished. We could not be happier."

"Nestaly and Edwin did a great job replacing an exterior wooden staircase and metal railing system with a Trex solution that is both beautiful and solid as a rock. They were here at 8 AM both days and cleaned the debris up afterward. Wonderful people and company to have working with me on this project. Fair pricing for this project and I was so pleased with the result that I already booked them to replace a couple of windows and exterior door. I will certainly use them in the future and can"t recommend them enough."
Before demo, client had a wall separating the kitchen & dinning room they wanted to tear it down and add an island.

"Claudio of Coastal Counters & Cabinets was our carpenter. Our house was built in the forties so as you can only imagine it came with some issues. First, I would like to say that he was a great carpenter who dealt with every problem with calmness and professionalism. He not only did the carpentry, he also did the tiling and painting. I would highly recommend him, as I already have. Also we love our new bathroom."

"I've personally seen how building or making modifications to your home can be very stressful. In early August of this year, we signed a contract with Ocean Break to demo our old deck and build a new deck/3 Season room combination. We found them on Home Advisor. From day one, the operation was totally professional. Peter Walsh, the owner of ocean break, quickly provided a proper contract capturing the results of the interview that preceded the start of work. The work promptly commenced shortly thereafter. The first phase of the project, the framing, was efficiently completed in a little over a week. Peter is the type of contractor who encourages you to be involved, choosing materials and colors and watching the daily progress of the project. He is happy to go over the work that has been done each day being sure to point out things he thinks you should know. All of the workers were extremely friendly and professional. My wife and I actually looked forward to seeing them bright and early each morning. Peter was extremely patient as we often changed our minds about design features and materials. He encouraged me, a veteran, to personally purchase many of the materials at Home Depot and Lowe's so that I could get my 10% veterans discount. The entire project was completed on schedule and within a reasonable Delta of the original projected price. As inevitably happens, we changed a few things from the original plan which appropriately increased the cost of the project. Peter always reminded us of when such deviations took place so that there would be no surprises at the end. The project was completed a little over a week ago. There was the inevitable punch list at the end which Peter took care of immediately. He even reused the section of gutter that had been cut off the house to accommodate the new room to save us money. With two weeks remaining in the project, Peter gave us a final figure and he stuck to it. So, now my wife and I have a three Season room and deck which we love. and, I'd like to think, we also have a good friend in Peter Walsh whom I highly recommend. One final point. As I watched the final vinyl plank be installed on the floor, without a single plank being ripped, I realized that, because it fit perfectly, the room was perfectly Square. Now that is skill and craftsmanship!"

"Izak, Josiah, and Adam absolutely crushed the job! I had hired 4 laborers to load a 26? truck. Unfortunately the 4th guy called out sick, but the three of them got the job done faster than I booked them for and what I expected! They hustled and packed the truck to the brim. They were all very polite, courteous, and careful with not just my belongings but the home as well. Extremely grateful for their hard work and expertise with the job!"

"We hired Jeff, Nick and the Cedar Coast team to build a new portico over our front door, reinforce/weatherproof the existing door and door frame, and install new railings on our front steps and landing. They did incredible work. They took the drawings from the architect and improved upon them in the field. Jeff was super responsive throughout the process and allowed us to make revisions/additions along the way, all while keeping us within our budget. Nick's expert craftsmanship made the finished product look even better than the drawings. They completed the job on time and on budget, and there were no surprises! I highly recommend Cedar Coast for any large scale construction project or home renovation. I'll definitely be calling them again for future projects!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.

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.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.
