"My wife has an antique telephone table that’s over 100 years old from Germany. It is the only family heirloom she had left. It was damaged in a move and I hired a carpenter from Restoration Hardware to come and repair it. He repaired it incorrectly, used glue instead of nails and then blocked my number after he screwed up! Out of desperation we called Wilfredo. Wilfredo was there in a day, repaired it on the spot and secured a priceless treasure! At the end of the day, carpentry is a skill that you don’t want to compromise on. There is no such thing as saving money when it comes to carpentry so you’d better do it right the first time with someone who knows what they are doing, and that is Wilfredo!"

"We hired Emilio to build a floating deck. He was punctual for each appointment, did exactly what he said he was going to do, kept me posted on progress and anything additional needed. The final product was excellent, completed quicker than most other vendors and for a very fair price."

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.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

Yes, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

Metal stud framing parts include the studs themselves, upper and lower tracks that act as top and bottom wall plates, various angle fasteners and clips, screws for fastening pieces togeher, metal straps, c-channel supports, and thicker steel supporting structures. Roof framing metal components include pre-fabricated trusses, heavy-gauge stud pieces, and various plates and fasteners.
