"STL Woodworking did a stellar job with my special order for a one-of-a-kind river wood table. I described what I had in mind in terms of wood, colors, and size, and the owner (Greg) crafted the most beautiful table made out of a beautiful piece of macacauba wood and paired with a gorgeous epoxy color and a perfect set of black metal table legs. Greg completed the project on schedule and delivered the piece himself. The table is stunning, so I rearranged my furniture to make it a centerpiece in my sitting area, and I use it daily as my desk working from home. It is truly a piece of functional art. I am so glad I went with STL Woodworking for this project."

"Hunter and his team installed crown moldings for me in my kitchen and dining room areas. They got me on their schedule much sooner than I expected and were here when they said they would be. Their craftsmanship was impressive and their personalities were very hospitable. I finally found a dependable contractor. No need for me to continue to look for one, because I found a keeper!!!"

"We recently had new gutters, a storm door installed on our back porch, and underground drainage added to help with storm runoff, and we couldn?t be happier with the results. The entire project was completed professionally and with great attention to detail. The new gutters look fantastic and function exactly as they should, directing water away from the house efficiently. The storm door installation was done perfectly, adding both functionality and curb appeal to our back porch. The underground drainage system has made a noticeable difference during heavy rains by effectively managing runoff and preventing water from pooling around our property. The crew was punctual, courteous, and kept the work area clean throughout the project. Their craftsmanship and commitment to quality were evident from start to finish. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for gutter installation, drainage solutions, or door installation services. Excellent work and outstanding customer service!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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. 

Metal stud framing parts include the studs themselves, upper and lower tracks that act as top and bottom wall plates, various angle fasteners and clips, screws for fastening pieces togeher, metal straps, c-channel supports, and thicker steel supporting structures. Roof framing metal components include pre-fabricated trusses, heavy-gauge stud pieces, and various plates and fasteners.

While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.
