"Scottie and his team were excellent! They stayed in budget and worked with us every step of the way. Scottie and his team replaced all of our vinyl siding with Hardie Board. They also upgraded all of our windows with Premium Argon filled windows and finished our back covered deck. Scottie has formed business relationships with building supply companies to ensure that you have maximum savings with your project; and even encouraged you to price shop. Hands down, utilizing his recommended suppliers saved us thousands of dollars. If you want quality work at a great price point, you won't be disappointed. Remember to be involved and communicate with Scottie. He is easy to talk with, so take time and be proactive. He will appreciate it and so will you."

"Jason did an amazing job painting my entire house! It looks absolutely incredible. He got the exact colors I wanted for every room, paid great attention to detail, and didn?t get a single drop of paint on my floors. He was professional, did an excellent job, and I couldn?t be happier with how everything turned out. I would definitely hire him again and will be recommending him to everyone I know. I highly recommend Jason for any painting job! ?????"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.
