"Vic did an excellent job for us on many projects--a major deck refinishing, rebuilding a 100+-year old window seat, resuspending sagging kitchen cabinets, repairing and replacing some outdoor cedar siding and stairs. These varied projects required not only excellent carpentry but also innovative thinking to resolve some of the construction issues involved in this quirky old house. We were expecting to have to replace the deck but he convinced us it would be better, and more cost effective, to instead refinish the old cedar boards, replacing only a few boards--and he was right. He could have charged us more for new decking, but didn't--this impressed us. He's honest, reliable, and good at solving problems."

"I highly recommend Chris at Eastside Emerald Home Repair! Chris totally remodeled my kitchen & as a result of how great that looks, I had him work on many other smaller projects. Chris is a great communicator, reliable, trustworthy, and creative w/ challenging situations. He is a professional who often exceeds expectations (he can be a perfectionist!). I've referred him to a few friends, who have also been extremly pleased w/ his work. Chris charges a reasonable rate, for the professional job you'll receive. And on top of that, he's also a really nice guy to work with - I can't recommend Chris enough! ð"

"Kirkland Roofing Company did an excellent job on my deck project. It was a pretty big job, and Joshua kept me informed throughout the process and explained the work clearly. The crew was professional, worked carefully, and paid attention to the details. The finished deck looks great, and I’m very happy with the quality of the work. I’d recommend Kirkland Roofing Company to anyone planning a deck repair or larger deck project."

Customers say: Super punctual

"Jack and his crew are fantastic. They’ve remodeled, painted and maintained multiple elements of our home’s interior and exterior, including installation of numerous custom lighting fixtures, cabinetry, roofing detail and deck installation and maintenance. I love that he’s independent and thoroughly human, and just a super sweet guy as well as a highly skilled pro. I’ve also seen his work at other people’s houses including beautiful stonework and full home restoration. I’m honestly not sure what Jack and company can’t do!"

"We were very happy and satisfied with Ed's work. He and his helper Allen were very punctual, knowledgeable and helpful. Not only did we have our roof, gutters, siding and driveway cleaned, but he also helped us get a very strong and sturdy covers for the entrances to our crawl space under the house. It was a project we wanted to do for a long time. Ed gave us some helpful tips for maintaining our place before we need to hire some professional. We really appreciated that. We would definitely look for him for future maintenance work."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

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.

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.
