"What started as a deck rebuild turned into a three season room addition. Matt and his crew were easy to work with, offered some great suggestions to us, and the finished room is more than we hoped for! We loved his suggestion of putting pine on the vaulted ceiling, and the finish work at the bottom on the outside looks great. Matt took care to match our 20 year old siding, and finish the windows and doors to exactly match the others on the house."

Self employed carpenter. I'm in my 60's and have a lifetime of experience. I work with another master carpenter. If you are looking for a cheap fix, we are not for you. We do quality work and expect reasonable compensation. Here is a short list of some of the things We do. Remodeling and renewing older homes. Cabinets. Trim work, including baseboards, casings, & crown moulding. Custom woodwork. Doors. All phases of painting. Deck construction and repairs (NOTE: Composite decks are nearly 40% more expensive than PT pine. Not only is the material more expensive, but the framing is more involved than a standard PT deck thus further increasing the cost). Laminate flooring. Hardwood floor repair. Drywall & taping. Minor plumbing and electric. Larger projects prefered.

"Chris was wonderful and the consummate professional. He was friendly and knowledgeable. He explained the process before he began and kept us advised along the way. The deck came out better than we could have hoped.!! It is beautiful and we get alot of compliments from the neighbors. I would recommend Hubbell's Carpentry to anyone...and I already have!"

Install Stair Railings questions, answered by experts

Yes. Many manufacturers make stair treads that you can install over carpeted stairs without needing to do any cutting or drilling. Stair treads can also be installed on wood, marble, and other stair surface materials. Just be sure to double-check the information for the specific product you’re buying to ensure its adhesive or installation process will work with the type of stairs you have.

The four-inch ball rule for railing is a rule of thumb used when installing or replacing railings on stairways and decks. It refers to the gaps that naturally occur between balusters or other infills in a railing system. The rule states that a four-inch sphere should be unable to pass through any of the gaps. This helps prevent the possibility of people or animals slipping through.

Deck stairs should have at least three stringers rather than two. The recommended minimum width for stairs is 36 inches, and the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors recommends at least three cut stringers to provide sufficient support on wood decking stairs of this width. Generally, stringers should be a maximum of 16 inches apart for wood decking and 12 inches apart for more flexible composite decking.

Building codes require deck railing spindles or balusters to be spaced no more than four inches apart. This is to prevent small children or pets from slipping between the railings and falling off the deck. For the same reason, the railings must also be no more than four inches from the deck floor.

Wood and metal are popular railing options for concrete structures. Although wood is less expensive, metal will offer more durability in the long run. Wood is more susceptible to the elements, like rain and wind, so it can wear down over time. 

As for metal, iron and stainless steel are the strongest and longest-lasting options, which is why they tend to be more popular than aluminum railings. Although if you’re looking to tighten your budget, aluminum is still a good choice. Vinyl is another railing option that stands up well against moisture, but it isn’t as attractive as wood or metal railings. Composite railing offers the look of wood without requiring as much maintenance.
