"Tony did a great job building my outdoor shower. We had to work closely with my HOA and Tony was very helpful with this process. The shower work was done on time and within my budget. I will be happy to use Last Looks in the future."

"Joe Graham whose company it is worked far and above to make it possible for us to get this work done. On one of the hottest days so far this summer his men steadily worked to finish the job. They worked neat and left no mess at all.The job was excellent. Even better than I hoped. Hard to find people like this anymore."

"Mike and his son did all the work themselves. Came out and gave a free estimate, priced the project, then got right to work once the job was accepted. They worked quickly, efficiently, and did an excellent job. They kept the workspace clean and cleaned up thoroughly upon completion. They punched a hole through the wall to install a new window. The drywall on the inside has a texture and had previously been redone horribly. Mike fixed it right up around the window to match the rest of the walls. On the outside he fabricated a boarder to make the aluminum siding match up with the window frame. Overall it was excellent work!"

"Brent and his crew provided quality, fine workmanship. Due to local ordinances our simple roof extension project became a lot more complex and Atlantic fulfilled our every wish in a prompt time frame with competitive pricing. Our screened in deck/porch looks like it was always there! Check them out for any home projects you may have-after they finish our interior projects! 😀"

"The firm actually built a platform under my shed and assisted me with outdoor showers and appliance replacements. It’s a father and son team that is professional, prompt, competent, respectful and responsive. I have used them multiple times and referred them to several friends."

"I was quite pleased with the finished deck. Really well done and Mr. Davies suggested skirting which actually makes the whole project. It took some time but it was well worth it. Mr. Davies always got back with me promptly which I really appreciated. He also fixed a roof issue and my poor lighthouse that needed a new base. Quite happy with results on all. M. Dollymore"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.
