"Great news! You can stop looking for a contractor for your kitchen and/or bath renovation. We highly recommend Claudio and his team who will transform your space, working WITH you through great communication and a set timeline that he takes seriously. Treating your house like he would his own home, Claudio runs a tight ship and instills his own sense of pride of craftsmanship into his team. We appreciated his availability, problem-solving skills and how he left the workspace so neat and organized throughout the project. We love our kitchen and bathroom!"

"Claudio was great to work with. A friend recommended him and we felt immediately in good hands. His team did everything from a new front deck to structural improvements to our home, moving walls, and finish work. All was a great experience with Claudio! Even when an issue popped with electrical work from one of his sub contractors (after Claudio had been fully paid) he came back to our house and made it right without hesitation. A true professional who cares about his business and customers. We would strongly recommend Claudio and Coastal Counters and Cabinets!"

"High quality, honesty, and kindness are few of the adjective that describe Mike and his team. The dedication and hard work put on remodeling my bathroom was amazing . It was like they were working on their own bathroom. I will recommend him and his crew for any project because I know that they will do a great job."

"I recommend this wonderful company without any hesitation. I first contacted Wood Trades LLC seeking a deck quote in September 2024, and John and Karin came out the very next day. From day one, John and Karin provided impeccable service. I cannot say enough wonderful things about their communication, transparency, honestly, and reliability. All current insurance/contractor licenses were provided up front, and any change in cost was documented through clear contracts. In addition, they patiently navigated me through a difficult permitting process from start to finish. Once the work was started, I had a gorgeous new deck in just over one week. I cannot thank this company enough for gaining, and more importantly, maintaining my trust through this project. I certainly look forward to working with Wood Trades again, and highly recommend their services to anyone seeking high quality results from a wonderful company. Exceeded expectations!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

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. 

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.
