"We hired Antonio and his crew to complete about 6 Different projects all at once around our home. Antonio was very thorough and conscientious about each job. The work ranged from installation of exterior door to deck and siding replacement. They also did a nice job of replacing our aging skylights."

"Keith was very patient, despite the rain, COVID-19 and tenant issues and accommodating over the work schedule. His work was very good. There were issues being that the siding was old, in bad shape and questionable past construction, due to age of residence. He was on time and on task. I do think he needs to be a bit more communicative with the customer-owner when unexpected conditions or issues arise and how they will be handled or resolved."

"We recently hired Dustin with All In One Construction completely remodel our kitchen and master bathroom, and I cannot say enough good things about them. From the very first meeting to the final walkthrough, they exceeded every expectation we had. His team was professional, punctual, and respectful of our home and our time. Dustin was responsive, transparent, and kept us informed every step of the way. He truly listened to our vision and turned it into something even better than we imagined. The attention to detail was great, from the perfect alignment of the tiles and cabinetry installation to the lighting and finishes. Everything looks custom and high-end. Dustin's team showed up when they said they would, cleaned up every single day, and never cut corners. If any unexpected issues came up (as they sometimes do in remodels), they handled them quickly and fairly. Very happy with the work they did. Thank you Dustin"

"Anthony helped me locate the source of a leak from heavy rains. He determined it was coming from windows and siding. He re- installed the windows, flashing, and siding to solve the problem. Work was done timely and professionally. I also had him replace area of plywood siding with Hardee board shingles."

Unfinished 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.

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.

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.
