"Kevin and his team were wonderful. They were punctual, courteous, and very neat about clean up. He framed 5 windows and they all look crisp and bright. A+ on a thorough job which he stayed late to finish in just one day."

"Working with Joe was truly awesome. He was punctual and delivered on all of his commitments not to mention the quality of work he does! We have been remodeling our house (avid DIYers) for the past couple of years but the trim work is something neither my husband or I have the patience or expertise to do. Joe and Brice made it look easy. They worked efficiently and the result was beyond my expectations. We highly recommend Joe and will definitely use him again!"

"Matt did an outstanding job of repairing a home in sheet rock ceiling. He then painted the entire ceiling. Itâ s impossible to see the repair. It was a flawless repair. Matt promptly did an estimate and did the repair in the time promised. Excellent workmanship by a talented person"

"It went fantastic! Art and his crew did an excellent job, were very professional and cleaned up afterwards. I'd definitely hire these guys again -- actually I am as they are replacing my roof later this year."

"Excellent work, highly recommend. Needed deck and ramp to get my 93 year old mom out of the house. Gordon was very accommodating and Nick and Ross did an excellent job building it. Couldn't be happier."

"I'm so glad I hired this company. I needed to remodel an apartment that needed a variety of services: carpentry, plumbing, electrical, everything needed updating. This company did it all, and did it well, and did it on a timely basis. They were a pleasure to work with as they would tackle any task without needing any supervision. They knew exactly what to do and worked efficiently but didn't skip any steps and they were kind and curteous to boot. And they cleaned up after themselves. I will be using them again."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

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.

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.

If you remove a load-bearing wall to create an entrance to a carport or covered patio, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,500, with an average cost of $6,400. Factors such as the type of addition and if that area needs additional work will add to the price.

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.
