"Brandon does beautiful precise work. He was timely, he kept me informed every step of designing, building, and installing cabinets in our study. His skills are amazing. He uses only the best wood available for superb results. The cabinets he made make the others in my house look shabby! I recommend him highly without reservation."

"Very impressed with this group. The estimator was knowledgeable and gave a very fair price, half as much as another estimate. The carpenter was skilled, neat, and communicated well, cared about our satisfaction. The scheduler is friendly and very good at reminders when they are coming. They replaced several sections of paneling in the basement and reattached the old trim which was tricky, matched and provided the panels, They even returned to fix something my husband had installed wrong. Highest recommendation of any outfit I've worked with."

Customers say: Quality work

"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. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and fair pricing make them the obvious choice for anyone seeking top-notch carpentry services. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in search of a reliable and skilled carpenter."

"Balteza painted my home and stained an extensive deck, retaining wall and railing surrounding the house. They then rebuilt my patio in the back yard as well as the stairs leading to the back of the house on both sides of the house, replacing rotted timber and installing all new stone surfaces. Work quality was excellent."

"This is the second big project we've done with REO Service Pro. They finished our basement a few years ago. Both projects were done with quality and professionalism. Gary is very easy to work with. He listens and offers suggestions when needed or appropriate. I also used an interior designer with whom he worked with ease. We had an aggressive time frame for this project and it was met. Our two favorite things about working with Gary and his crew are 1) their quickness in responsiveness and 2) quality control. On multiple occasions I witnessed Gary instructing a crew member to "rip it out and start all over". In our experience with house projects, that is a rarity. Most contractors are okay with mediocre work to save time and effort. As a result, the end product was great. In terms of cost, they may not be your cheapest bid but they won't be your most expensive either. The investment is worth it. I highly recommend REO Service Pro."

"Deckmaster provided a free estimate for carpentry repair work on my wooden deck and fence, and also for a powerwash and reseal of the deck, deck stairs, and a fence. I contracted them to do the carpentry only (the powerwash/sealing was more than double the cost I normally pay). Scheduling was done within a week or so, and I was very pleased with the work Gustavo and his assistant did. The repair was done carefully and competently, and showed good attention to detail. I would definitely call Deckmaster again if I needed any repair work done."

"It was clear and evident that Fred was experienced and knowledgable when he came to my home to discuss what I wanted and gave me a reasonable estimate. Upon signing a contract, Justin and Mike were tasked with the build out. They were on site at the times they said they would be, extremely personable and educated within their field of work. They were also extremely hospitable in allowing me to watch them show their expertise as a learning experience. I would most certainly hire Fred and his crew again and highly recommend!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Bow windows need support because they are large and extend out from the exterior wall of the home. Bow windows may extend 1 foot to several feet from the outside of the home, so you’ll need to provide additional support to handle this weight. A window contractor will be able to provide the proper amount of support for your new bow window.

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.
