"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!!"

"I believe in life, the universe gifts us people when we need them. Mike and his crew at Capitol City Wood Works were one of these universal gifts our family was lucky to receive. We met Mike about 6 months ago, shortly after my FIL had passed away and my MIL could no longer take care of the house. Our goal was to sell the house. The first problem...the back deck (55ft x 25ft) with a not working pool (33ft x 20ft) in the middle of the deck needed major repairs and code upgrades. The second problem, my husband & I live across the country & were overseeing the repairs from 1,300 miles away. Using Angie's list we found 3 different contractors to interview for the job. Each interview we stated we wanted the deck to be safe, use the structure that is there and look good. Mike was the only contractor that did two important things: 1. he sought to understand our unique situation of distance & selling the house 2: he listened to what we wanted for repairing the deck rather than a new build"

"Handyman Dave did a superb job! No more wobbly "fun house" stairs. No more inoperable chicken coop doors. No more airborne predator threat to the chicken run. Conscientious, ingenious, and hard-working. We'll definitely use him on our next projects!"

"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,"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.
