We are a small partnership of craftsmen, with a pool of labour resources for larger jobs. Any services that we do not provide directly or that you could save money by using another provider will be recommended. We don't believe in charging you a fee to make a phone call therefore we don't use subcontractors. For example if you have a new construction project needing & entire AC system, we will call our preferred AC company & introduce you & you will pay them directly. We take no referral fees or mark up prices. This guarantees you that you are getting the company we think will do the best job. We charge a day rate for larger project that consists of a fee covering our equipment, a supervisor and a craftsman, as needed you will pay a fee for each additional labourer covering their cost for the day. This keeps cost down regardless of the size of your job. We have worked on dozens of landmark historical churches and homes and use old world craftsmanship with the latest in materials and technology to ensure quality results on all of our projects. Although we can handle highly skilled large projects we take as much care and offer savings for your two hour need. All customers are important to our business as you are our only advertisement. Award winning. ***All work is guaranteed for 1 year from the date the work was completed.***

"Can't recommend Lakewood Restoration enough. They did a great job, at a great price, and on budget. I am amazed at how well he built a wall on an existing wall of a loft and closed it in to make another bedroom. He explained everything well with me and really cared about getting this project done correctly. He is very detail orientated and would recommend again!"

"Jordan and his awesome team removed the shoddy work of a previous carpenter and professionally installed the proper steel I beams across our recently remodeled home. Three load bearing walls had been removed and the less than adequate work of our previous contractor had begun to leave our roof and ceilings sagging below the maximum allowed measurements and was causing large cracks in our ceiling and walls. Jordans crew jacked everything back up to its original position while attaching the rafters to the new beams… An awesome job by Jordan and his crew.

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.

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.

Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.
