"This is a very ethical and professional company. They showed up on time and performed the requested deck repairs as discussed at a fair price. Itâ s so hard to find honest good people now days but Troy Built is the real deal. Not fancy automated BS answering service. You talk with the boss when you call. You can bet, these will be the first guys I call in the future for any remodeling project on my home or business. I highly recommend them and appreciate Home Advisor for recommending them to me. I wish there were more trades that worked and communicated this smoothly. I highly recommend them."

"Marvin with M.O. Holt Construction did an amazing job on William’s man cave. His craftsmanship and attention to detail were excellent, and he went above and beyond to make sure everything was done right. He was professional, dependable, and took real pride in his work. The finished room looks fantastic. I highly recommend M.O. Holt Construction and will be hiring Marvin again for more projects."

"I commissioned a custom cutting board through Josh took the time to reach out to me to ensure I got the cutting board I wanted. He was upfront with the build time and cost. It arrived earlier than expected. When I opened the package I could tell that this wasn't your average cutting board. This is an heirloom quality piece that will last longer than me. My kids will have to fight over who gets this incredible piece of art. If you are a foodie or like to cook, his cutting boards will serve you well. I can't thank Josh enough for tha attention to detail in his work and the amazing communication. Thank you Josh, looking forward to working with you again!!!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

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.

Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.

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.

Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.
