"We found Vermonty by word of mouth and glad we listened. Outstanding demo job, clean, organized, and efficient. They worked smart and hard and handled a variety of obstacles in our old building, electrical, plumbing, and general construction related work. Would 10/10 recommend and hire again. Also- excellent communication throughout the job, young guys like this with old school work ethic and quality are hard to come by."

"Martin is an A class worker, competent, detail oriented, timely and neat. He did excellent work repairing the rotted fascia boards on my roof in 95° weather and even did more than I was expecting. You can't go wrong with Martin."

"I hired Guayacan Home Improvement to replace some siding and latticework following the installation of a new deck. Luis and his team were absolutely magnificent from the beginning of our relationship until the prompt completion of the job. Theirs is a family businesss of the very best kind - honest, skillful, friendly and reasonably priced. They scheduled the work on a timely basis and completed it ahead of schedule. Theire= attention to detail and cleanup work was extraordinary. I was so impressed with the quality of their work that I immediately asked them to consider taking on a larger project on our behalf. I strongly recommend them and would be happy to share my experience with anyone considering working with Guayacan Home Improvement."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

Yes, using certified lumber and engineered wood products for reduced environmental impact.

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.

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.

Framing a basement takes three to five days, on average, when completed by a professional, though it may take longer for a larger space. Keep in mind this doesn’t include the time to complete the design, obtain permits, and install the drywall on the framing. On average, fully finishing a basement takes an average of 45 days.
