"Excellent workmanship, kept to the budget and agreed-upon timeline, and cleaned up when the job was done. I’m very pleased with the outcome. Specifically, he replaced and added flooring in my attic. I highly recommend this carpenter; he does great work!"

"Our full house remodel project went very well especially considering this project was completed while we lived another state! Lance and his team were very professional, performed quality work and most importantly, when there was an issue to discuss, they were accomadating and fair; additionally they assisted with all phases of our project, even those projects not in his lane, like foundation repair and sewer line replacement to the streets...not only do we highly recommend Southern Style Remodel and Paint for their work, I also recommend them for their trustworthiness and honesty."

"Beyond my expectations!! The professionalism and workmanship are the best I've experienced. Always punctual, detail-oriented, and adaptable to each problem we encountered all with an incredibly positive attitude. Not only is Paul the "can do" contractor, he is the "can do it right." We spent years and several horrible experiences with contractors in my attempts to repair my mother's home from the 2021 snowstorm. That is until Paul rescued us. I highly recommend Paul Alvarez for any project large or small."

"The reviews and photos don’t lie. Luxe Haus Renovations did a remarkable job on my bathroom, kitchen, and closet remodel. Tim and Betty are both super responsive, and professional. This is a very honest company and they will work until the customer is happy, even on weekends. I had a very tight timeline for my project (3 weeks total) for 2 complete bathroom demo’s and remodels, kitchen cabinet refacing, and closet build outs. The job was 80% done in 3 weeks and I was able to move in while they finished the rest. Very moderately priced as well. I will definitely use them for another project and would recommend them, especially for full bathroom remodels."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.
