"Fast, fair price, flexible. By flexible, I mean I asked him to build a couple of gates for the top level of our deck that would be toddler proof. He came up with really great solutions with hidden locks that even the craftiest of toddlers would not be able to figure out. I’m very happy with the work done and look forward to working with him again soon"
"He hung barn doors. He even added some additional custom touches. May sure to double check work after completion. The front of two doors were painted but he refused to paint the back of those same doors."
"They replaced the rotted fascia and soffit around my house. Power washed, and painted entire. He showed me the work as they were going and answered any questions I had. Very courteous and professional workers. Always on time and even came on the weekend to finish job. Completed project gives my house a refreshed look. I have recommended him to a few people already."
"The owner was very professional all the work was done in a timely fashion any problems or questions I had he was there to put my mind at ease very polite and the work that was done was amazing 11/10 would recommend to anyone."
"The 2 individuals were professional starting with their initial assessment visit. Their projections that referenced necessary materials and time requirements were amazingly accurate which was important to me as I truly wanted the project to be completed in a timely fashion. They accomplished that as promised. They arrived early each day and worked late on most instances. Most important and pleasing for me was their craftmanship. They displayed a total knowledge of my requirements for perfect mitered cuts on each board as EVERY board on my deck consists of 45 degree mitered cuts. The gentlemrn are the eal deal. They are on my forever list. I am very satisfied."
"GA Painting work ethics was awesome. The communication between them and me was most definitely on point. They were punctual and efficient. If you need your deck repaired, they are the go to business. I totally recommend them for their services."
"My husband and I were more than satisfied with our fence built by The Craftsmen. Cullen is a wonderful guy with a friendly and professional attitude. He communicated thoroughly throughout the process from design, quote to build. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to use The Craftsmen and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone."
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.
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.
Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.
Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry.
Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.
