"Victor is one of the most amazing people I've ever met!! I needed a knob replacement on a 100 year old chest of drawers and he actually made one that is an exact duplicate to the original. I spoke to him on a Wednesday and I picked it up on Thursday. He is so very kind and honest with such professionalism and integrity. Please check him out for all of your antique needs."
"Southern Rust Woodworks has the best custom built products around. I have several pieces he has made for me, and I get asked all the time who did them and how to contact him. He can make anything you want! Or if you donâ t have an idea, he has great ideas himself. My house is basically a Southern Rust Woodworks showcase. Love all my pieces and they are excellent quality. Love all his products!!!"
"Cory replaced some damaged boards in our glue-down wood floor, which was an intricate project given that he had to remove tongue-and-groove boards and replace them with new ones without removing the whole floor and without damaging the surrounding boards. He made the floor look like new, and in a very affordable way. This was one of a number of jobs he has done for us over a decade or so. He is always prompt, courteous and professional. His prices are extremely fair, and he is always honest about his level of confidence in his ability to do any given job. If he tells you he knows exactly how to do a job, you can count on it."
"David came out to paint a four rooms in my home and repair some drywall. He got the job done with perfection! The attention to detail was spot on. Very professional and just a great guy in general. He will definitely be my go to for any home repairs or remodeling needs! Thank you David."
"They arrived on time. Didn't have a tall enough ladder, let him use my 20 ft ladder. Went right to work. Did a great job of repairing the soffit. Even put the ladder back in place. Would recommend C & T"
"I got referred to JPL painting by another satisfied customer, so I got in contact with the owner, Julian to get an estimate to paint my house. He was very responsive and gave me a fair price.

"Lee and Nick are the best. They provided me with an accurate estimate and drawing for our new cabinets. Lee's follow through during the process was great and kept us well informed. On the day of install the team tape off our non-work areas to reduce dust and vacuumed up each day when they finished. There was an error in ordering the doors and they were not able to install them for 5 weeks. When this error was noticed, prior to leaving, Nick and the Team made sure all cabinets and drawers were usable so we could put everything away and use all the features. Lee kept us posted on the doors and when they arrived Nick and the team promptly came over and installed them. The paint colors on the doors matched perfectly with everything else. We will use Better cabinets and baths again for any kitchen and bath needs."
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.
Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off.
When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.
Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.
