"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.

"We used this company before to replace our deck and were very pleased, so we decided to use them again to replace our fence. Again we were very happy with the results. They came when the said they would, kept us updated with the process and we definitely recommend this company for our next project!"

"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."

"This is one of the best companies I have ever dealt with since we bought our home 25 years ago.  The owner is incredibly professional and very easy to work with.    The crew took down the old deck within a matter of hours and began work on the new deck the same day.  The carpenters were terrific and they had the new deck done within a matter of days.  We were able to use the deck for our Easter Sunday company.   The deck is stunning.  It's larger than the old one, it's made of composite and the attention to detail makes this deck pop.    The owner paid a lot of attention to the structure in order to make the deck design easier for my husband who is recovering from a stroke.   I cannot say enough positive things about this company and crew.

"Sam came to do an estimate for my bathroom, he kept in communication with me regarding the arrival time and was true to our committed time. He was very detailed about the job I needed to have completed and kept to his estimate. He arrived on time the day of the job and completed it within the window time frame. I love the work he did and my bathroom looks beautiful! I have already discussed future projects with him."

"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."

"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."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

A few signs that you need a new door frame include:

  • The door no longer fits properly in its frame and sticks or scrapes.

  • You notice cracks, holes, or rotting.

  • You feel a draft coming from around the door when it’s closed.

  • You find yourself frequently needing to make repairs.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

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.

The cost to convert a carport into a garage averages about $22,000, ranging from about $15,000 and $55,000. Additional cost factors to consider include size, time of year, and how much of the carport you can reuse. Other cost factors include the kinds and amounts of materials used, such as:

  • Add insulation: $1 per square foot

  • Add drywall: $1–$3 per square foot

  • Add window: $450–$2,000 per window

  • Add outlets: $75–$500

  • Add garage door: $250–$11,200

  • Enclose framing: $5–$13 per square foot

  • Replace roofing: $1,000–$2,000

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.
