"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."

"Oh MY GOODNESS, this company and Ishmel and his team are AMAZING. They worked so hard for us and did anything we asked and worked until 5:30 a.m. because we did a move that was over 5 hours away, so they moved us out of one house, then drove 5 hours, then they moved us into another house, then they drove another 5 hours, this was a SUPER long day, almost 16 hours, WOW I have never seen 3 people work so hard and I would HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Pro Movers.....they are BEYOND PRO movers they are GO MOVERS, they just go for it and then do an incredible job. I dont even know if they ate during that whole time. We are SUPER SUPER SUPER appreciative of this amazing crew. Thank you PRO MOVERS, all I can say is you went ABOVE and BEYOND for us!!! Thank you so so so much."

"We had a great experience with Mejia's on a very complex fence project. Approx 140 feet of fencing, completely falling apart and surrounded by multiple issues (tree trunks, overgrowth, concrete, a hill side, etc.) They evaluated us quickly, the quote came in on target, they scheduled us immediately and stayed in communication with us every step of the way. The work only took a couple days and the cleanup they did on the job site had our land looking better than when they arrived. Best of all the fence turned out five-star-top-quality and ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. If you hire these guys for your project, rest assured you've made the right choice."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Enhances property value, ensures safety, and provides a sound basis for future construction.

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.

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.

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.
