"Devin was professional and polite. He responded shortly after I put my job need in. He verified the day and time the night before the day the job was to be done and texted when he was on his way with an ETA. Devin cleaned up and looked like he had never been here. Job well done and good man."

"Excellent! Edgar & his crew were always on time, professional & pleasant. They came in exactly at the amount they quoted. The craftmanship on the wooden steps was excellent, notching in the wood & bolting for extra stability. Edgar also asked for much feedback during the process of building to make sure he was building what I wanted. Very impressed with these folks!"

"Rodrigo with GABA Contractors completed our kitchen, laundry room, & powder room renovation last year and did an excellent job. The project consisted of demo, new drywall/paint, tile/LVT flooring, trim, wood paneling, misc. electrical work. It was completed on schedule and within our budget. The quality of the work and dedication to meeting our needs was top notch. Highly recommend Rodrigo and we plan to do more work with him in the future!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

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.

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry.
