"I have Addison perform repairs on my house in South Lake Tahoe several times. I am repeat customer because of the high quality and very reasonable price. Once I have him over to do a small job and after that I knew that I will be inviting him for much bigger projects. He can do pretty much everything from plumbing to sheetrock replacement to nice paint jobs. I highly recommend his services."

"McCoy Construction is one of the most professional contractors we have ever dealt with. We needed some repairs and revisions on our vacation home maple kitchen cabinets. The job estimate was thorough and reasonable. They were very helpful when additional issues arose. They always notified when they were coming and when they were leaving. We received pictures showing the progress on a regular basis. McCoy and Michael Hodges kept us informed of all the steps along the way, were timely and always cleaned up when they left! The quality of their work was exceptional. I would highly recommend them for just about any construction project."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.

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.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

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.
