"Mike Taylor and Jay Lembke of M & J Handymen took care to build the replacement deck more structurally sound than the original, while matching the look and functionality that we wanted. They were knowledgeable and careful to meet code requirements. They dealt easily with unexpected issues and kept our budget in mind. They kept us updated on progress and schedule. They were considerate of our property. They are great to work with, and we will be happy to work with them in the future."

"The team was professional, courteous, and efficient. They kept me informed with construction needs, which was a lot after a long term leak caused floor and frame damage. The crew also helped with flooring and wall tile chioices. They cleaned up constantly and the small bathroom floor and walls look amazing."

"They did a good job. I was just hoping it would stop my wood floors from creaking but they are worse. Overall believe the work done will be good for the house support though"

"Zack was prompt and did absolutely everything he promised and more! He worked in a 100 year old home and still managed to make every line straight, not an easy thing to do in an old house. I totally recommend Zack!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

A-frame homes are on the smaller side. While there’s no set square footage amount it has to be, it will usually come in around 1,000 square feet or smaller.

Stick frames, metal frames, or prefabricated concrete frames are included in framing a house, along with creating the framework and space for windows, doors, and entryways. Other aspects of developing a home—like drywall, insulation, windows, doors, and more—are not included in the cost to frame a house.

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

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.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.
