FAQ

Framing and structure

Can you remove a wall to open up my floor plan?

Often, yes. Load-bearing walls need an engineered beam, temporary supports and a permit, and we handle the work from the engineer's plan.

Can you build an addition?

Yes. We frame additions, tie them into the roof and walls and finish the trim so they match the rest of the house.

Can you fix a sagging floor or beam?

Usually. We inspect, find the cause and repair with sistered joists, new beams or added support.

FAQ

Trim, doors and stairs

What trim upgrade makes the biggest difference?

Taller baseboards and wider casings usually change a room the most, and crown molding adds the finishing touch.

Can you match old trim?

Yes. We mill matching profiles from a sample, even when the original is no longer sold.

Can you update a staircase?

Yes. New treads, rails, newels and balusters can transform a staircase without a full rebuild.

FAQ

Cabinets and built-ins

What are custom cabinets worth compared with stock?

Custom cabinets fit your room, avoid filler gaps and can be built stronger, with the exact style and storage you want.

How long do cabinets and built-ins take?

Design, build and install usually take several weeks after the design is approved. We give a clear schedule.

Can you build around a fireplace?

Yes. Built-ins and media walls around a fireplace are some of our most popular projects.

FAQ

Decks and outdoor

How long does a wood deck last?

With good framing and care, many last twenty years or more. Material choice and maintenance matter.

Do I need a permit for a deck or fence?

Often. Requirements vary by city and county, and we explain what applies.

Can you repair my old deck?

Often. We inspect the framing, replace damaged parts and clean and seal the surface.

FAQ

Wood, cost and care

How do I choose a wood species?

Match the species to the use: hardness for tables, rot resistance outdoors and a smooth surface for paint. Our guide and quiz can help.

How do I compare carpentry quotes?

Compare written scopes, materials, finishes and what is excluded. Our cost guide explains what drives the price.

How do I care for solid wood?

Keep it dry, use pads and coasters and refresh the finish when it looks dry. We give you a care guide.
