"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

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

Framing a basement takes three to five days, on average, when completed by a professional, though it may take longer for a larger space. Keep in mind this doesn’t include the time to complete the design, obtain permits, and install the drywall on the framing. On average, fully finishing a basement takes an average of 45 days.

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.
