"This bathroom remodel was the 2nd time we've used Brandon for a job in our home and we'd do it again in a heartbeat. The end result is nothing short of perfection, but from beginning to end, Brandon shows a respect for your home and the remodel process that can't be compared. He is extremely professional, approachable, honest, and very, very hardworking. His attention to detail and the quality of his work isn't just reserved for the actual job at hand (The tile work he did in our bathroom is spectacular) but also for the comfort of the people living in the home during the construction. With covered floors and high powered filters, we didn't have any of the dust and debris all over the rest of the house like you normally do during a remodel. Before he left each day - the whole area was cleaned as if wasn't going to back the next day to start again. I would wholeheartedly recommend Fenninger Carpentry to anyone. His work is amazing and you can tell he cares about the final product. You won't be disappointed."

"We have normally done interior painting ourselves, but this was a big job (living room, hallway, bedroom) and since we also had some ceiling damage from a leak we decided to get it done for us. We had used Jim the Handyman for a couple jobs last year and were very satisfied with the work so called them again. They showed up early to do the estimate and we discussed a number of items to be priced so that could pick and choose if need be. We quickly got an estimate and agreed to getting the work done. It was supposed to be a week to a week and a half out from the Thursday estimate date but they called the next Sunday afternoon and said they could begin the job Tuesday (finishing Thursday). We said yes. Mike showed up within the 9-11 timeframe on Tuesday and got right to work.. He was the lead guy for the three days, directing others who came to help. Very impressive. Not only does he know everything about how to paint, he knows how to manage a job. And he is a pleasant and friendly guy on top of that. The crew prepped, painted, and cleaned up. They made sure the job was done right (no need to follow behind and check on their work - they do their own quality control). We supplied the paint and spent a day getting things off the wall and some things moved. We have a lot on our walls and so I spackled as things came down. We could have left it, especially the wall repair. Mike could immediately tell what had been done and went back and did it correctly. We probably would still take things off the wall to prep, but the rest we would leave to their crew. The areas of the ceiling that were damaged are back to looking perfect. We had some paint bubbles in one bathroom ceiling - also corrected - and with a better paint choice that Mike recommended. The new door and door frame were more of a challenge for the guy who came to do the work because the one jamb was a little out of plumb (our house was built in 1961), but he got it done. We are very pleased with the experience, the quality of the work, and extremely pleased with the finished result. Its like having a new home."

"I recently had the pleasure of hiring Crowning Touch to work on a wall feature in my condo, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, they exceeded all expectations. Right from the initial consultation, it was evident that professionalism was his hallmark. Guy was consistently punctual, arriving on time and ready to work diligently. His cordial demeanor made the entire process not only smooth but also enjoyable. One of the most notable aspects of his service was his attention to detail. Despite the challenges posed by working in a condo environment, they exhibited a level of care and precision that truly set him apart. It was evident that he took great pride in his craft, ensuring that every aspect of the project was executed flawlessly. What's more, Crowning Touch’s pricing was incredibly reasonable, offering excellent value for the high-quality work they delivered. In a market where quality often comes at a premium, Crowning Touch provides an unbeatable combination of affordability and excellence. Without a doubt, I will be returning to Crowning Touch for any future carpentry needs.

"Matt and his crew are incredible. ?Matt quickly responded to an email and came over the next day to look at the house and gave me an estimate and some new ideas. ?He provided me a detailed quote within the hour and he and the crew were at my house starting the job at 8 am the next day. ?They were able to get everything done within the week estimated timeline and Matt even came over on a Saturday to install the new blinds once they arrived. ?Also, the movers (from a different company) caused some damage to the freshly completed walls and paint and Matt arranged to have it fixed that afternoon (thanks Karlos!). ?I cannot recommend Matt and his crew enough, they are just amazing. ?I hope to use them again someday to redo the kitchen and bathroom. ?You will not regret hiring Matt."

"My husband and I started to put in a fenced in garbage can patio, and made a mess of it. Andreas quoted me a good price, did the job right, was willing to use materials I already had on hand, did the job within the time frame we discussed, and didn't try to upsell me. I would definitely use them again."

"We were looking for a contractor to build a handicap ramp to our front door. After reached out to some contractors, Alexander Davis quickly provided us a quote that was lower than others. Once we signed the contract, they started the work 3 days later as scheduled. Once on site they work hard and get the ramp done the next day and cleaned up the site neatly before they left. The product and workmanship are high quality, and best value for the price quoted. Highly recommend this contractor."

"We used Samâ s Home Improvement to create our backsplash. He had a good price, and we were very impressed with his subcontractor, Luis Quispe, who actually did the tile work. He understood our plans, gave some suggestions, and was flexible with changes. The end result is fabulous."

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.

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. 

Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

Stick frames, metal frames, or prefabricated concrete frames are included in framing a house, along with creating the framework and space for windows, doors, and entryways. Other aspects of developing a home—like drywall, insulation, windows, doors, and more—are not included in the cost to frame a house.
