"Stuart was recommended by a neighbor for whom he did a bathroom remodel. We had several projects - finishing in a new room in our basement, adding a kitchen, remodeling a bathroom, and more. Once we saw the quality of his work we just kept asking for more. He replaced posts supporting a sunroom / porch. He repaired ceilings in other area of our home. His prices were fair, and he showed up when he said he would and finished the jobs efficiently. I've had some good contractors in the past but he is the best. My only reservation about leaving this review is that I am afraid if too many people find him he'll be too busy to continue to help me out! I am buying a new home and already I know of projects where he will be my first call. Skilled craftsmen are rare, and guys like Stuart are priceless because of the trust they build with their customers. If you hire him, you will not be disappointed."

"Trevor has been an amazing contractor who has helped us through the process of installing a large interior door for an office. He has helped ensure the space was properly prepared for installation of the door. The other contractors who have assisted Trevor have also exceeded my expectations. They have been extremely detail oriented and have done everything to ensure the best outcome. I would definitely work with Trevor for any future projects."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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, 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.

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.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.
