"I highly recommend Vobiscum Construction Inc for any home improvements you need done. Leo, Marco and the whole team with Vobiscum were excellent. They were attentive and easy to coordinate with through the entire process. They finished the project quickly and seamlessly, I’m so impressed. I had quite a large project on my single story home that needed completion (urgent frame and truss repair, roof replacement, fascia replacement and more). The roof and carpentry work came out beautiful, the pictures don’t do it justice. I no longer have to worry about a leaking roof or failing structure. I can’t thank them enough for their help and for giving me peace of mind. Thank you Vobiscum and your team!"

"Amazing professional! Ryan built custom french doors for our foyer, and without doubt, is the best finish carpenter I have ever dealt with. Always on time, meticulous in his craftsmanship and goes the extra steps to provide a beautiful finished project. I find it so refreshing that he works with you on the smallest details and his vision of the completed project was in sync with ours; his expertise made the project result even better than we could have imagined. He custom mills the lumber for your project and the end result is a one-of-a kind, high quality product both you and he can be proud of. The sign of a true craftsman is when he is pleased with what he gives you; it's not perfect until Ryan is happy with the finished product. We will use him again."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects.
