"He is very big on open communication and he focuses on building a relationship with the homeowner since he knows that he will be around for awhile! A little bit more expensive, BUT what he does is way above and beyond than what is expected."

"Paul was hired to create custom cabinetry under our staircase. From the beginning to the end, Paul was communicative, professional, great with follow-through, excellent with details, and easy to work with. Our house was built in the 1860s and does not have a straight line in it. But Paul went the extra mile to make everything line up and look beautiful and seamless with the existing style. We are already looking at other projects we can hire him for! ;) A quality craftsperson is hard to find. Do not think twice about hiring Paul. You will only add value to your home."

"These guys did a remarkable job. They put in a full days work to make a pool deck that had long been neglected look like new again! I highly recommend them to anyone that needs power washing. They did not miss a spot! Really nice guys, hard workers, very respectful!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Enhances property value, ensures safety, and provides a sound basis for future construction.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.
