"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."

"Best carpenter you can find! He does beautiful, high quality work. He is kind and respectful too. He brought our stairs up to code, did all of the millwork and built us a really nice modern, linear bannister. He also helped fix cabinets that a contractor messed up."

"Aaron was a pleasure to work with and he was very thorough about getting everything just right. In addition, I had a door bell that wouldn't ring and he fixed that also. I will use him with some future projects for sure."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.
