"Where to start, I love these guys they were respectful, courteous, they came and they worked very diligently. Lenny my project manager was a godsend and helped in everyway, even when we ran into a problem During the demo a water line was broken, and leaking for almost 4 days before we found it. I called Lenny and he handled it immediately and expedited. The company took care of all and any repairs, AND I DONT SEE THAT OFTEN! I absolutely love the siding, I've already had compliments and gave Home Genius future customers! If anybody needs siding, windows, or anything THIS is the company to call, I'm getting my windows from them in 6 weeks! On another not they weren't even afraid of 18 German Shepherds!"

"Josh Bond, the owner, is very dependable. His co. replaced all the flooring and top rails on our 16 x 35 deck and did an excellent job. They also painted the interior of our house plus the kitchen cabinets, hung several new light fixtures, installed new flooring in the kitchen and one of the baths and other misc. things."

"I needed stucco repair work on an old chimney (and other spots). Grady was meticulous and thoughtful on what approaches and materials would work. Throughout the project they allocated sufficient time for each treatment to cure and inspected the work before proceeding to the next step. Grady started the project with no money down and only required ongoing payments for materials until the project was well underway. The final payment was due only after they did a final inspection. Total project cost was also below other bids."

"When I removed a large mirror from over my fireplace, there was bare plywood and no drywall behind it. This was a task that I did not wish to try myself. I added my requirements to "HomeAdvisor" and within a couple of hours I had a response from Doug Canada. We made arrangements for him to come and look at the job and to get his estimate. After we got his estimate (which was accepted), we made arrangements to have the work done. On the appointed work day, he called to let us know that he would be there shortly. When Doug arrived, he went straight to work. As the project continue, we mentioned that the current mantel on the fireplace wasn't what we really wanted. So as a carpenter, he offer to build a new mantel at a very fair price. The drywall repair and the new mantel were both completed in the time stated. All that we need to do is paint. Doug did what he said he would do, he was always on time, he cleaned up all of his work areas, and Doug was very personable. Without question, I would use him again!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

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.
