Carpentry questions homeowners ask

What's the difference between a carpenter and a handyman?

A carpenter specializes in woodwork like trim, built-ins, framing, and decks. A handyman handles a wider mix of small repairs. For custom woodwork or bigger wood projects, a carpenter is usually the better fit.

Can rotted wood be repaired instead of replaced?

Small spots of rot can sometimes be repaired with filler, but rotted sills, trim, and deck boards are usually replaced. Fixing the moisture source keeps the rot from coming back.

How long does a new deck take to build?

A typical deck takes about one to three weeks, including any permit and inspection time. Larger decks or multi-level designs take longer.

Should I choose wood or composite for a deck?

Wood costs less upfront but needs regular staining or sealing. Composite costs more but needs much less maintenance and won't splinter or rot.
