"This is the 2nd time we've used AHS (Advanced Home Services). Monty is always very professional and efficient. He arrived this afternoon, took a look at the job and took care of it right away. Very professional, very personable and the price was more than fair! We will definitely use AHS again!"

"There aren't enough stars to adequately rate how much I am pleased with Leo's High Quality Construction! Great communication, very skilled carpenters, efficient, reasonable, and very hard working. As a retired journeyman carpenter myself, I knew what I wanted and how I wanted it done. They accommodated my every want and improved on it by sharing some newer techniques and products. The finished deck with handicap ramp was completed timely and everything I hoped for. While here, I was also looking for a fence around around a patio. I found who will be building that also! Already got started."

"Top Bros completely gutted and remodeled the two outdated bathrooms in our condo. The building is over 100 years old, so there were some challenges with plumbing, framing, and leveling, but Top Bros didn't shy away from any of them. They tackled each challenge head on and transformed our bathrooms, ensuring that everything was done correctly. They were friendly, easy to work with and the final products turned out amazing. I would highly recommend working with them."

"John installed crown and base molding throughout entire kitchen. He drywalled areas where walls had been removed and arches expanded. He was very efficient, professional, and completed the job as agreed on time and within budget. We will use him in the future for other remodeling projects!"

"The job was done as planned with materials we selected. The under structure of the deck is with 12” spaced joist exceeded building code which makes for very sturdy structure when covered with composite decking. We are very pleased with the resulting 30’X 14’ deck."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.

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.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.
