"Matt and his team totally refinished our basement and garage in our new accessible home. He listened to what we wanted and made excellent suggestions to the design and delivered a wonderful â great roomâ in our basement. He put in a full bathroom with storage and used nooks and crannies to make more storage under the stairs and in the enclosed utility room. His sensitivity to my husbandâ s disability was always front of mind. The garage was insulated and dry walled. He built an accessible work bench and nook with a bench to hang winter coats and change boots. As if all of this wasnâ t enough, he did all of this on budget and on time. His estimate was 1/3 of what the big name construction companies in the area had quoted. And he delivered everything that we needed and wanted. He came highly recommended to us from one of our neighbors and we gladly pass along the high recommendation to anyone who wants simple yet creative and solid solutions for your remodeling projects."

Unfinished Carpentry FAQs, 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 if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

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.

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors.
