"I had an outdoor playground set. Adrian was professional and hard-working. Great communication and he brought all the required tools and equipment. He showed up first thing in the morning on a short notice and it was all done before the end of the day. The assembly looks great and I know the kids will love it!"

"I’ve seen Jeff’s work and it’s fantastic. So professional. He’s refined his skills to be an excellent contractor. He gave me a quote on a fence but decided to just do it myself."

"Marc was excellent at communication through out the whole project. He made sure everything met our expectations and he went above and beyond to follow up on anything that we had a concern about. We had two bathrooms that he remodeled for us and he never once left us with out running water or electricity and always made sure we know what was going to be worked on each day and would check back in with us before leaving the worksite for the night. 10 Star service, I am sure if we had asked he would have a rolled out a red carpet for us. It was by far the best experience we could have asked for."

Customers say: True professional

"DS Builders are very professional. I highly recommend their services. I have recommended them to my friends. I have used their services 3 separate times, deck repair and the remodel of 3 bathrooms. Currently, they are working on the remodel of our kitchen. They arrive when scheduled, finished job is just as quoted and clean up is as you would expect. They are helpful in suggesting ideas that I had not thought of. Mindful of a budget is another bonus of DS Builders."

"The Creativo team was all around wonderful to work with. They were punctual, starting and completing the project in a appreciated time frame for the project size. As items requiring changes to the scope appeared, they were accommodating and quick to provide an estimate and complete with the project schedule in mind. As for the craftsmanship, the attention to detail and effort made to make our deck a beautiful space was really appreciated. These guys are great to work with and hit it out of the park! Thanks!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.

The cost to frame a 2,000-square-foot house can fall anywhere between $14,000 and $32,000. This price can increase or decrease depending on what type of framing you choose, the quality of the materials, the project's complexity, and whether you decide to hire a professional to do the job.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.
