"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."

Customers say: Quick response

"I highly recommend Tanner at Crafted Creations, LLC for any carpentry and other project. His work is meticulous, beautifully crafted, and clearly reflects how much pride he takes in what he does. I live in Shelburne, and Tanner was always punctual, polite, professional, and very trustworthy as I was not at my home for most of his work. He respected my home and our belongings. What really stood out to me, though, was how carefully he listened to what I wanted. He is incredibly thoughtful, creative, and resourceful, and he has an impressive collection of tools and skills to bring ideas to life. Tanner doesn’t just do the job—he takes the time to understand his customer and think through the best way to accomplish the project. His attention to detail and thoughtful approach made the entire experience a pleasure. I would happily recommend Tanner to anyone looking for a talented, dependable, and genuinely caring carpenter. His craftsmanship is exceptional, and he is a wonderful person"

"Nick was extremely busy but took time to come introduce himself and look at the job. He replaced some rotting boards on the house and around our woodstove pipe. He did excellent work and came when he said he would be there. I will recommend him to anyone else who is looking for a builder."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

Bow windows need support because they are large and extend out from the exterior wall of the home. Bow windows may extend 1 foot to several feet from the outside of the home, so you’ll need to provide additional support to handle this weight. A window contractor will be able to provide the proper amount of support for your new bow window.

The cost to install a bow window can range from $1,500 to $15,000, with a national average of $3,900. The total price includes materials, which can cost between $1,200 and over $14,000, and labor, which typically adds $300 to $1,900. Several factors influence the final cost, including the window's size and frame material. For example, vinyl frames are the most budget-friendly option, while wood frames are more expensive. Custom features or energy-efficient upgrades will also increase the price. For comparison, a bay window installation typically costs between $1,000 and $7,000.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

Homeowners can increase the usefulness of their garage space in other ways, and one option is to extend the length of the garage by making it deeper. The process is similar to traditional garage extensions, but the end product is a garage with a different layout rather than additional parking spaces. 

New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.
