"We were so impressed with the job that Ken did installing wainscoting in our home ! He has such a fine eye for detail and design and is very particular for the quality of workmanship he does. We were also very pleased with Ken communicating to us when he would be arriving and the time needed to complete the project.

We Will definitely recommend Ken to family & friends!!"

"Roman Empire Builders i found here and i seen his reviews and decided to call for some estimates. We own 3 properties one that we had to evict someone and we kept getting some very high unreasonably seeming prices and couldn't find great references from some guys, but every reference we got from Roman was nothing but he's the best he does any kind of work that you throw at him so he came by we told him if the price we get on our first house looks good and the price is right I have two other houses that need a few things done. So first job we had him and his sons rebuild our second story deck that a tree had slammed into from hurricane Helena and he not only did he build it perfectly to Code but he painted it for us for only a extra $150 which was so kind. So I gave him a remodle I needed done from a recent eviction that the sub floor was out of wack and his 2 son's worked nonstop the laminate the drywall and texture and floor all perfect. Worth every penny 100% best guy on here for s"

"From the estimate through completion, Craig and his crew were amazing. He kept me involved and let me explain plans and worked with me to make it happen. They are beyond reasonable in pricing, efficient and clean when on site. My neighbors has work done based on their actions at my house. There's tons of companies that are fancy and play games, these guys don't. Do your self a favor and hire them."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

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.

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.
