At Organized by Design, AZ, we design custom closets for clients in the greater Phoenix area. If you need a unit built within a certain time frame, you may want to work with us since our custom closet builders have flexible schedules. We use special building supplies during every project because we’re an environmentally friendly company. Because we’re custom builders, we can design units that have components for crafting materials, gift wrapping accessories, and sewing supplies. If your current closet is narrow, we’ll make a workstation that has a desk that pulls out. Our designers will also include additional drawers in convenient spots to accommodate crafting accessories and supplies.

"Organized by Design – Exceptional Experience from Start to Finish Working with Organized by Design was an absolute pleasure. From the initial consultation to the final reveal, their professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of the project. The team arrived on time each day, maintained an impeccable level of cleanliness, and completed the job exactly as scheduled. Their craftsmanship and eye for design completely transformed my space into something both modern and highly functional. Every element felt thoughtfully customized and perfectly executed. Beyond their design skill, the team was consistently courteous, respectful, and responsive — a true reflection of their commitment to client satisfaction. I am thrilled with the results and would wholeheartedly recommend Organized by Design to anyone seeking a refined, customized transformation. I will absolutely be using them again for future projects."

"We couldn't be more pleased with the outstanding work Brad Pugh and Tenor Construction have done for our HOA. The installation of the solar vacuum tube technology has been a game changer—reducing our pool heating costs by an impressive 50 to 60 percent. This system has proven to be an exceptional product, far surpassing the performance and efficiency of other solar options we’ve explored in the past. Brad’s expertise and professionalism were evident throughout the project. Not only did he guide us through the installation with clarity and confidence, but he also played a key role in helping our HOA secure a $20,000 rebate from our utility provider—an unexpected and much-appreciated bonus. Thanks to Brad and the Tenor Construction team, we’re now enjoying a more sustainable, cost-effective solution that benefits our entire community. Highly recommended! — David James Armstrong 240 W Andes St, Oro Valley, AZ 85737"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

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.

You can use a nail to find ceiling joists, but it’s not as reliable as a stud finder, and you’ll end up with lots of small holes in your ceiling. If the nail hits a joist, you'll feel increased resistance. Mark the spot with a pencil. Repeat this process regularly along the ceiling, 16 or 24 inches apart, until you've mapped out the joist locations.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

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.
