"Evans Contracting contacted me through my search for someone to repair, clean and paint my deck. I spoke with Charles and was given a quick and very reasonable quote for the work. I agreed to the quote and the work was started within two days. Charles kept me informed of the progress of the work and it was completed in two days. The overall work was excellent and I was very happy with the results. I would highly recommend Ed Evans contacting and plan to use them for some future work. Thank you for a job well done 👍"

"Santos repaired brickwork on steps and porch foundation; also repaired and painted attic windows and a decorative window on an upper floor. He had to come back to complete the work (because of weather) and he did that promptly. His fee was very reasonable."

"They did a great job. Chris was able to hang the dining room botanical print wall paper quickly, neatly and efficiently. The striped wallpaper I selected for the bathroom turned out to be a bad choice on my part as the walls are all crooked in the bathroom. Chris had to spend a lot of time trying to get it straight."

"They did an amazing job, did exactly what they said they would do, at the price they quoted, and when it ended up that they had to replace one of the boards in our fence that wasn't anticipated, they included it in the work free of charge. They did a beautiful job and I highly recommend G Parker Contracting. Would use again for other projects."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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. 

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. 

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

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.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.
