"Dylan arrived at the scheduled time and performed the deck repair in a workmanlike, professional manner. He answered any questions I had and was pleasant to deal with. I would definitely hire him again for any carpentry work needed."

"I hired Bruce at Live Edge Vail to create a custom, live edge bar top to replace an existing counter in a clients new home in Steamboat Springs. We had been working with another vendor who opted out of the project after going back and forth for several weeks. As disappointed as we were in that situation it really all worked out to our benefit when we found Bruce. He was extremely professional, had an abundance of expertise and created exactly what I had envisioned for my client. Bruce worked within our time frame and installed within several weeks of our initial consultation. The end result is a stunning centerpiece to the room and I have a very appreciative and happy client. Honestly, could not recommend Bruce and Live Edge Vail enough."

"Ian ("IO") impressed me upon first meeting. I could tell he was bright and capable, and I was right -- my bathroom remodel is a work of art! He knows what he is doing and does it right. Plus, he is a nice person to have around--very courteous and gave me so much good advice. You can't go wrong with IO! Attaching before & after pics, but the photo of the remodel doesn't do it justice."

"I recently hired GreenHouse Contracting to rebuild my deck through a friend referral, and I am extremely pleased with the final result. Juan and his crew were professional, courteous, punctual, and hardworking. Juan offered suggestions and ideas throughout the entire process. I'll admit I am not the easiest customer as I ask a lot of questions and have high expectations for work being done on my house. The work quality was superior and I have absolutely no complaints. My deck turned out better than I imagined and in a timely manner. I would highly recommend this company to anyone who is seeking a high quality deck or other work."

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.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

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.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry.
