"Oliver came to our home to do a free estimate within just a day or so of using Home Advisor. His price was very reasonable. And he was able to start the project very quickly. He did a wonderful job with the vinyl siding installation. I highly recommend Oliver Druen Carpentry."

"Appointment  to review  various needed repairs was made within a reasonable amount of time. Contractor did show up and was on time at the time of the appointment. (This is why I gave them the overall C rating)...... Now to the disappointing part.... When leaving, contractor said he would get back to me within a few days with estimate. A week went by with no estimate received  from contractor. I called contractor again and was told he would have estimate for me by the next day.. It is now a week later and still no estimate has been received. Based on their previous good reviews, which was what lead me to call then in the first place, they are probably good at what they do and may have done the repairs at a reasonable price, however, I didn't get a chance to find out as I  was never supplied an estimate. Disappointing because I took time away from work to meet with the contractor, which turns out was a waste of time for both of us. Wont bother calling them back because if I cant rely on them to get back to me with an estimate, how can I trust that they will complete the work needed in a timely manner?

"The man I talked to was very professional and timely. However, he explained that this particular job was beyond the scope of what their company does. I would certainly use them on another 'issue'.

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

Stick frames, metal frames, or prefabricated concrete frames are included in framing a house, along with creating the framework and space for windows, doors, and entryways. Other aspects of developing a home—like drywall, insulation, windows, doors, and more—are not included in the cost to frame a house.

The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.
