"Very professional and pristine work. The work he did for me on my wrought iron chairs looked better than if i’d purchased them brand new. I will certainly call on him any for any work I need. Also, the price was extremely fair."

"Calvin was very professional and was reliable for him and/or his crew to be there at the right time. I also needed exterior wood repair (fairly extensive) and he had a carpenter to do that. I was very pleased with the process and the finished product. I will definitely hire him again!"

"A neighbor mentioned Jorge to me a while back when I was looking for someone to help with a paint job. I am so glad they did what started as a one-time project quickly turned into an ongoing relationship. Jorge has since helped me with everything from roofing and home repairs to random odd jobs I did not even know who to call for. He is reliable, kind, and takes real pride in the quality of his work. You can tell he genuinely cares, and he approaches every job with integrity and attention to detail. He communicates clearly, shows up when he says he will, and never cuts corners. Jorge is now my first call when something needs to get done around the house. I have recommended him to others more times than I can count and for good reason. He is one of those rare people you feel lucky to have on your team."

"My husband and I just recently purchased a home and wanted to add our touches. We hired Alex to paint the house and paint the kitchen and bathroom cabinets. Alex did an excellent job. The cabinets came out beautiful and the paint job on the house was great. He made sure that my floors and counters were protected. He was able to finish the job within the given time frame as well. I will definitely hire Alex again for future projects!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

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

You can enclose an open carport, however, there are several things to consider before opting to do so. You'll want to check local building codes and permit requirements before proceeding to make sure it’s legal. While you can sometimes stick-frame a carport enclosure, pre-fab kits are also available. Remember that you'll likely need to meet concrete slab regulations and provide lighting inside the structure. Both of which could substantially drive up costs.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.
