"We hired Mr. Luper to construct a deck in front of our shed. We are very pleased with the quality of the work. Mr. Luper was great to work with and provided us with updates as needed. The deck was completed in the time frame as promised. The cost of the project was very reasonable. We will call him again for other projects!"

Customers say: Quality work

"OUTSTANDING! Cannot recommend any higher! Great job from start to finish . Repaired three fence gates in preparation for pool opening May 1. Very professional. Provided prompt response to bid request. Gave estimate, said he could take care of the following week. Gave $500 deposit and he came back when he said he would and took half day to do the work. The repaired gates operate better than when the fence was originally built: I guarantee it. He said I owed him $650.00. He and his associate got $750.00 cash from me and I’m not sure the $100.00 “top” was enough. But, that’s all the cash I had. Hire this guy. If he says he can do it: he can do it. P.S. Miguel, your DeWalt battery charger is still on my front porch….."

"I hired D Design Woodworking to build a floor mirror utilizing an antique mirror from an English armoire. We discussed the design, the type of wood (maple) to be used and the stain color. I received the mirror yesterday and I couldnâ t be happier. The mirror looks great in the frame and Iâ m extremely impressed with the workmanship. The mirror is very substantial and the stain matches our new bedroom furniture perfectly. I cannot recommend D Design more highly."

"He hung a heavy mirror, an ironing board holder and curtain rods. These were in old plaster and in each instance there was a problem with the plaster 'chipping'. Meanwhile his helper dismantled a linen closet, did some patchwork where the plaster had come off - then painted it all. Assembly of two rubbermaid upright rods for brackets but again problems with the basic plaster walls.
Both gentlemen were very pleasant!

"My experience with Quality Built Exteriors was excellent! Chris and Mike A. such carpenters and painters who are master craftsmen, and very detailed in their work. The office staff (Amber, Deborah and Michelle) are professional, efficient and courteous. However, this project would not have come to past without the sales coordinator, Mike R. Mike R. Was professional knowledgeable, and hand-on throughout the project! I recommend QBE!!!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

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

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project.
