"Outstanding Workmanship and Professionalism! Carpenter Framing Install did an incredible job from start to finish. Their attention to detail, precision, and commitment to quality really stood out. The crew was on time, respectful of my space, and worked efficiently without cutting corners. You can tell they take pride in their craft ? the framing turned out solid, clean, and perfectly aligned. Communication was easy and transparent the whole way through, and they delivered exactly what they promised. I?d 100% recommend them to anyone who wants reliable, professional work done right the first time."

"Vendor answered his phone. Set up an appointment to visit the repair site. Arrived on time. Presented a fair estimate. Provided a written statement of work listing all particulars. Carpenter arrived on time. Worked continuously for about 10-12 hrs replacing front external steps. Board cuts created tight 45 degree picture-frame fittings. The overall work was very well done. Painting was not included. If I need add'l or new work, I will call this firm and definitely recommend them."

"My husband and I met with Carson and explained what kind of deck we wanted built on the back of the house. We wanted a deck to cover an old patio and extend from the french doors in the living room to the back door of the house. He had some great suggestions about the layout of the deck and stairs. The deck turned out great and Carson was great to work with during the four days it took to build the deck."

"Very well. I'm very happy with the final project. They started and finished exactly when they said they would. The crew showed up on time (usually early) every day, and the contractor came every morning to answer any questions I had, and ask for any information they needed for the day's work. Everyone respected my home and my pets. Hoping to do a kitchen remodel in the future."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

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.

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project.
