"The crew did an amazing job. Very attentive and listened to what I was needing done. I can?t thank them enough. He was more concerned about my satisfaction, than the speed in which it was completed. The owner is top notch!"

"Came one day to get an estimate and from there set date to build the stairs. Perfect for a handicapped person or like me getting knee surgery. The price was exactly what I expected to pay. Will be giving the information to my daughter for her step-mom and dad. Thank you so much!"

"Found Sentri on Angi. Jeanette and Violet were very pleasant and efficient in getting a contractor to me in the time frame needed. The contractor was excellent and the roof looks great! I would definitely work with them again if I had additional projects."

"Tom was very eager to help and to make the job the best he could for the amount of money I had to work with. Overall they do a pretty good job. Scheduling delays occurred with both roof and gutter crews due to a busy storm season. While understandable, the delays could have been communicated better and cleanup a little more thorough once the job was completed. I think a ‘B’ is a pretty fair rating, the work didn’t blow my mind but was satisfactory and should last for years to come."

"We hired Tommy and his crew to replace supports, build a custom rail system, and build two gates for our back deck. Tommy made sure to outline material/labor costs upfront and worked with local vendors to ensure the most economical options for our project. They worked through some pretty rough weather, but put in full-days and always left the job-site clean. The crew's attention to detail was incredible, and suggestions they had along the way were always welcomed as we truly felt they were focused on the quality of their work. My wife and I are confident that we have found a trusted crew that we very much look forward to working with for our next project."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

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.

Yes, using certified lumber and engineered wood products for reduced environmental impact.
