"Cory did 3.5 days solid of MASTER carpentry work on my home: replacing damaged wood, siding, rebuilding soffits, rebuilding trim, etc. His workmanship is unparalleled- wonderful attention to detail and very creative in problem solving some troublesome outside areas of my older home. Heâ s not afraid of working at heights- comes fully prepared with a modern array of tools. He is excellent at communication from start to finish. I couldnâ t be happier with his services!!! Thanks Cory!!"

"Mike Griffin and his team do great work - a few years ago we had them build a garden gate and gazebo, working from our design ideas and taking it to an artistic level - we still get compliments on the gate with its unique grille design! This latest job was mostly repair of an older deck including a new cover, a water-damaged patio enclosure and replacing a section of fence. So, a diverse set of building repair skills/techniques, all handled by Mike's crew in one job. John's masonry repair on the patio post is excellent, for example. Mike is very thoughtful and creative about problem-solving with older homes that have been remodeled several times. He assessed some roof damage as well and gave me advice on when it should be replaced."

"Good experience. He was professional. He actually had to go to Home Depot to get some parts so it saved me a trip from trying to find stuff that I don’t know what I need. And he was very professional."

"Luis and his helper did a fabulous job on my 40 year old oak kitchen cabinets today. They look like new now! Also mirror frame and vanity in my bathroom were all water stained and ugly and now they are transformed! Luis is very skilled in many areas of carpentry and remodeling. Very nice guy too, explains things patientlly and listens to what you want. I recommend him for anything, He showed me impressive pictures of large projects he is done, but said he will take on even small projects. Great work!"

"I hired Ernest to do multiple jobs preparing my home to list including framing, drywall, tile and painting. I live in the DFW area and I was nervous about coordinating all of this work at a distance. Ernest was great at communicating with me through the whole process via text and phone. He provided detailed quotes via email so I could see exactly what the scope of work entailed. He gave me regular updates including photos and videos on the progress of the work, giving me peace of mind. He was very flexible working around my tenants move out/clean up schedule. All the work he did looks great, and I know it will add value to the home. He definitely takes pride in his work, and it shows in the finished product. I recommend their services, and I won't hesitate to call if further work is needed!"

"Russell was able to come look at my job within a day, discussed repair options with me and the cost was very reasonable. Got my shed fixed, but also, he helped me line up a few screws on stairs I was assembling, carried the heavy stairs to the shed and cut up the old ones for me. Great guy, super helpful and responsive!"

"In addition to the roof repair, AA reinstalled 2 lightning rods on the roof. They also replaced rotted wood on three dormers and the hips on the upper balcony with Hardi-plank and painted them. Installed some new flashing as well. When I requested a quote, David responded quickly and was right on time for the first visit. Luis headed up the work and he and his crew were professional and fast. I would (will) hire these guys in a minute,"

"Joseph and team did a great job on re-building my deck, the work quality was excellent. Fantastic job on both the carpentry and the tile work on the out door kitchen/grill. The price was reasonable, great communication and a genuinely good group of people to work with. I would definitely hire them for other remodeling jobs and recommend this company."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

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.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.
