"Very reasonably priced, good communicated well, arrived in a timely manner. They replaced a portion of my deck. Showed me the materials they would be using ahead of time, showed up on time and did the work well in 1 day. Gave some recommendations about things to watch out for with my deck and made recommendations for maintenance. Cleaned up after themselves. Seemed knowledgeable and friendly. Would recommend and would hire again"

"This company was reasonable and knows there vinyl siding products. The owner has 47 years of experience, knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. I had to replace the back of house vinyl and use the old to repair the side that was damaged by my dog. The siding they gave me was better than what I had. The company answered the phone and keep me updated and sent pictures of finished job. I was very happy with the price. Please get an estimate from them you will be very, very happy."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Marquina Painting LLC for a complete roofing project, and I couldn?t be happier with the results. From the initial estimate to the final cleanup, the entire crew was professional, punctual and highly skilled. The crew paid closed attention to detail, complete the project on schedule and left the property spotless when they finished. I highly recommend Marquina Painting LLC."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

You can enclose an open carport, however, there are several things to consider before opting to do so. You'll want to check local building codes and permit requirements before proceeding to make sure it’s legal. While you can sometimes stick-frame a carport enclosure, pre-fab kits are also available. Remember that you'll likely need to meet concrete slab regulations and provide lighting inside the structure. Both of which could substantially drive up costs.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.
