"Highly recommend!! I researched several construction contractors for 2 months prior to relocating into our home, and I am truly grateful I made the decision to hire A+ Custom Remodeling, LLC, to manage the various and multiple tasks I knew I wanted completed. A+ Custom Remodeling, LLC. did not disappoint as a general, multi-tasking contractor. If Mr. Roman Mcbrayer (owner and founder) could not complete a task himself, he knew exactly who to contact to get the job done in a timely manner. I hired A+ Custom Remodeling, LLC. for the following: * Repaint the interior walls of my home. * Install a backyard fence. * Install electrical work, to include additional outlets in & out of the home. * Install a utility sink in our laundry room. * Install an elevated, extended concrete driveway with building pad. * Instrumental in delegating an A/C repairman to service our air conditioner. * And our biggest project - Convert an open wooden deck into a large 2-tier, enclosed porch with covered grill station. Not only was Mr. Mcbrayer knowledgeable and professional, but his crew was just as professional, respectful and very hard-working, possessing the abilities and knowledge to complete any task successfully with excellent communication skills as a team. Their strength and stamina to endure peak-summer heat temperatures with every project they were asked to execute was phenomenal. More importantly, Mr. Mcbrayer (A+ Custom Remodeling, LLC.) can keep track of everything going on and sets priorities to get things done very efficiently and effectively. A reliable and skilled business owner who ensures completed projects quickly with great results."

"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"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

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.

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project.
