"Does an amazing job. We had a large deck built onto our house.Very professional, always showed up on time. Price was very fair, especially for the quality of craftsmanship. He does not cut corners to rush anything. You can tell he takes a lot of pride in what he builds. Deck turned out perfect, built to last and very sturdy. Would highly recommend."

"Chris did more than just a fence. While he was here he also stained our log cabin home and he explained when we would need to stain it again, he didn't just build a beautiful fence around my home but he also built one around the ac unit to keep my dog out, also he help me on small task out of his kindess: move a cement block out of the way of the fence that I couldn't lift, make a hole for my chicken coop so the lamp cord would go though, and he even cared about how to explain for everything how to maintain thre fence for it to last for years. Chris and his dad are really kind hearted people who care about the quality of work they do. My husband and I both adore their character and them as people. We are planning to have them back for soon future projects."

"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

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

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 building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

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.
