"This is 100% our recommendation without them asking or paying for it. Tim, Crystal and their team did a FANTASTIC job on a very tough privacy fence project with a very particular customer (me). This was a 20' long fence that had a lot of horizontal lines, modern sizing and gape, and plenty of things that could have gone wrong. I found them to be very professional, reliable, accountable and really, really, really accurate. I interviewed a lot of people for our project and they were the most consistent. I showed up unannounced to one of their jobs, measured, checked posts for level, and talked with the homeowner/customer directly. Their experience was my experience, which is to give them a shot. They delivered this job start to finish in 3 days on-site. Couldn't believe it. They did a bunch of pre-work at their house over the weekend to ensure our downtime was limited. They can provide you access to see our project, which is absolutely beautiful. If I can figur eout how to upload pictures, I'll do it. Also- Tim has a background in garage doors and knows what is he doing there as well. Do it. We are very pleased with the outcome."

"Cesar and his guys were punctual and professional. They did a great job working with us on the design and build of our patio cover project which turned out exactly how we expected. We have already CMR to friends and neighbors and would use him again. CMR's price was extremely reasonable and much cheaper than other quotes we got. His cheaper price did not reflect with lesser quality craftsmanship. We are very pleased with his work and have received many compliments from our friends and neighbors."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

A-frame homes are on the smaller side. While there’s no set square footage amount it has to be, it will usually come in around 1,000 square feet or smaller.

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.
