"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."

They remodeled our living room , rebuilt stairs, doors, custom crafted door frames. I have more projects for them. They do great work, friendly, timely. Great value for the cost. I highly recommend them for any job you have."

"I needed a bulkhead changed to a walk in door. He showed up at 7:30 am with 2 other carpenters. They were packed up completely done by 2:30 pm. Flavio is very professional as well as his workers. Very respectful. They took all old wood and scraps away. They call what I wanted a dog coop. I love my new entry. I waited for it to rain before writing this. Not a drip of rain inside. I will not hesitate to have Flavio do any other carpentry work I need. His prices are very competitive. I'm very satisfied with his work and would recommend him."

"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.

"This project involved hanging four different heavy items on the wall. It went really well despite the fact that the TV mount didn't have the right hardware. We collaborated well and in a few hours my living room was furnished! He's a true pro and I'd definitely work with him again."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

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.

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.
