"Fred Scafani, owner of FSP General Contractors, was very thourough in evaluating my project, and recommending solutions. This was the first time I have used FSP, but certainly will not be the last time. This project was to install grab bars in 4 bathrooms at my Lake Tahoe Cpndo. He advised that some of the locations would need stonger backing,d which I authorized as an extra. Fred started work on the day he predicted, and completed the job the same day. He cleaned up perfectly, and the job looks great."

"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."

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.

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.
