"The owner, Mike Patterson was very professional and personable. Arrived on time and gave me a quote that was very reasonable. I was planning on having his company complete the work but due to unforeseen circumstances, we decided to wait. Once we are ready, we will be calling him back."

"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."

"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

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

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.
