"Dan went above and beyond in what I had expected to get accomplished. It was the extra mile that Dan and his guy Chris went in order to make my basement look brand new. This included installing and framing a new door and framing a window. He also fixed all the other little things that weren't originally something i had asked for! Very polite and extremely knowledgeable. I was impressed, great guy and a great team, many thanks."

"Agile Construction was very professional. They asked what needed to get done and then came in and executed it flawlessly. They were able to answer my questions and explained the work and their methodology. They came to repair my window sill. And it looks way better than before."

"A1 Pro did an excellent job replacing the floor boards, top rails, and stairs on our deck making it look new again. The craftsmanship and attention to detail were superb. They were on time, did exactly what they said they would do and finished in 1 day. They also completely cleaned up all the debris when they finished. I would definitely hire them again"

"When a raccoon fell from a tree and crashed through a weakness in my roof into my attic, I did quite a bit of research on contractors and got numerous estimates before choosing Lifetime to repair the damage and replace the gutter. Unlike some other contractors who say they'll be there between 12 and 2 and then show up at 4 if they show up at all, Phil showed up on time to examine the job and give me an estimate. The figure he quoted was quite reasonable, and I hired him. His crew arrived promptly on the scheduled day, and did a terrific job. They were efficient and quite courteous. I have every intention of hiring Lifetime again as needed for home repair, and I recommend them without reservation."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

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.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.
