"Contracted by text from Cape Cod to do a long-overdue fall clean up of front yard of a house for sale in Middlebury, VT. Unable to find any local help for even just an estimate. Vt. Outdoor answered from nearby Lake Dunmore. Price negotiated based on pictures and texts of work desired. Result of clean-up was excellent, though more expensive than standard on Cape Cod, was well worth the money. Vt. Outdoor was timely and trustworthy and did a great job."

Customers say: True professional

"Greg has expertise in many areas, he "does it all!" As he told me "My work is my life! And I DO Care!!" No question he will give you his best in knowledge, experience, and creativity. And he works non-stop like an Energizer Bunny! He thinks about your projects after hours to find the best solution. My 200 year old house put him to the test! He replaced a rotted out door and entryway, resurfaced a floor, dry walled an area where a sky light had been removed, and reframed the area under a toilet that was caving in, painting along the way. And he is repairing my crumbling deck! Luckily he is a "frugal Yankee" and constantly looks for ways to save you money. And, as he says, he leaves your house cleaner and in better shape than when he arrived. Highly recommend!"

"Jack Powell is a gem. He's highly skilled, dependable, and a clear communicator. I had a large second floor deck that was badly sagging and in danger of collapsing. Jack examined the problem, came up with a strategy for repair, and submitted a very reasonable estimate. He clearly explained each stage of work and at the end of each day's work cleaned up the area. The deck now looks wonderful and the work was done on schedule and absolutely on budget. On top of it all, he's a nice guy -- soft spoken, warm, and personable. I recommend him without reservation for any carpentry job."

"I hired Cody for so many projects! He painted my roof, the outside of my house, detailed work inside. He re-glazed my windows, sanded and painted my ceilings, repainted my radiators, and more. His work is perfect and detailed oriented. He also staged my house painting over the course of the summer in order to make it easy for me to pay for it. Cody is also extremely polite and pleasant to be around. I highly recommend him."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

You can enclose an open carport, however, there are several things to consider before opting to do so. You'll want to check local building codes and permit requirements before proceeding to make sure it’s legal. While you can sometimes stick-frame a carport enclosure, pre-fab kits are also available. Remember that you'll likely need to meet concrete slab regulations and provide lighting inside the structure. Both of which could substantially drive up costs.

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

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

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

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry.
