"Drew did an excellent job power washing a very dirty screened porch. He removed all the furniture first which was great! Very detail oriented and returned everything where it belonged. He goes above and beyond. Honest and truth worthy!"

"Very nice group of guys and very quick to respond and get the job done. My wife was upset with the attention to detail. Somebody washed off their tools directly on her ponytail palm and there were noticeable gaps on baseboard which were very minimal, but there. And a huge gap in light switch plate. My wife asked to fill that hole and it was caulked. We will build up wall behind light switch plate ourselves later this week. And baseboards are also an easy fix with just a little caulk. Guys were absolutely great and price was reasonable. With that being said Iâ d recommend them, but the little attention to detail was not all there."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.
