"Our project was really big - a cedar fence w 2 double-wide metal-frame gates and a gate between two buildings over concrete - around 3/4 of an acre. Some days were hot and others rainy. John worked most days by himself but he worked hard! This is the 2nd project we’ve had Goodrow do for us and highly recommend them."

"The crew was polite and professional. No nonsense, and had a hustle to their cadence. As a retired framing contractor I was pleased to see this efficiency as the job was completed in a timely manner. Impressed they took the time to stop and ask me how I wanted a particular aspect plumbed when in doubt. The job was done cleanly and it looks great. Highly recommended A !"

"Kevin is a very kind and good carpenter. He tries to do the best job possible for what he has to work with. In our case the foundation was bad so there was limited possibilities he had to work with."

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 chose Topaz Remodeling to remove our old deck and build a new one from scratch. Right from the start, I was impressed by Shalev and his crew. We choose to remove an old wooden deck and replace with composite boards and steel railings. I had a lot of questions to ask. Shalev graciously answered them all and showed pictures of recently completed work to give a visual idea of what the end product could look like. Even with a few delays due to weather, the team was able to finish on time and on budget. I would call Topaz for future projects and would highly recommend this company to friends and family"

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

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.

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.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.
