"My deck was nearly falling apart and had very little usable space. I hired Jim from JAG Consulting not only to repair it but also to extend it and cover half of the deck, essentially transforming it into a beautiful covered porch and deck. Jim brought years of experience and expertise to the project. He not only completed the work to my satisfaction but also offered valuable advice and suggestions to make the design even better. By following his recommendations, the final result turned out even better than I had imagined. His experience, attention to detail, and professional guidance made all the difference. Now, my family and I can truly enjoy our deck in a way we never could before. I’m extremely happy with the results and highly recommend Jim and JAG Consulting to anyone looking for quality workmanship and professional service."

"Eric came over to look at the job and determine what parts were needed and the vendor to use. He ordered the necessary materials, set a date to do the work. He arrived on time ready to work. There was quite a bit of manipulation of the railings to get them to fit. He kept until they were finished. Good work, very polite. Cleaned up work space before he left."

"Wow! Doug is the most amazing contractor I have ever worked with. He did a beautiful job on our front porch re-build and was truly helpful in offering suggestions as I was not really sure what I wanted to do as far as materials and design. He was always in touch, he did exactly what he said he was going to do and he did it when he said he would. Plus his work is absolutely beautiful and professionally done. We love our new porch - thank you so much Doug!!"

"Bob is a gifted cabinet maker. He made custom cabinets for our old house using the facing of the old cabinets. There were many challenges to getting it to work and get the right look. Bob not only gave us the functionality we needed but retained the historical accuracy of the kitchen. Bob is also easy to work with and very deoendable. We will ask for his help again when the next project arises!"

The repairs were done efficiently and with great attention to detail. I highly recommend them to anyone needing dependable, skilled carpentry work!"

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

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.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.
