"In our residential/commercial condo building, getting service folks to communicate, do the job they agreed to and not break the bank are all challenges. Had our first job with CWG Construction today and couldn't be happier. Stan had great communication, was thoughtful about how to approach the job, went beyond what we had expected and did it for a competitive price that we felt was good value. In addition, he's just a good guy to deal with personally; no attitude problems to deal with. Stan and CWG went straight to the top of our Preferred Provider list for both our in-house work as well as who we recommend to our residents in the building. What a pleasant surprise to come across folks who don't disappoint!"

"An ice storm on 2/01/23 caused a very large tree to fall on my 12 x 20 storage building. Gary and his crew restored multiple damages to a like new condition. His professional crew started early and worked without stopping except for lunch. I would have no hesitation in giving their work a 10+. I definitely will use them again if or when needed. To top it off, they did the work at a fair price, exactly as quoted and in a timely manner. To say the very least, Gary and his crew were certainly not afraid of hard work! Thanks, guys!"

Customers say: Quality work

"Felipe built a fence for me, and he did an amazing job from start to finish. The work was clean, sturdy, and clearly done with a lot of care and attention to detail. He showed up on time, worked efficiently, and left everything looking great—I couldn’t be happier with the result and would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing fence work."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

A few signs that you need a new door frame include:

  • The door no longer fits properly in its frame and sticks or scrapes.

  • You notice cracks, holes, or rotting.

  • You feel a draft coming from around the door when it’s closed.

  • You find yourself frequently needing to make repairs.

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.
