"James is a highly skilled carpenter. He has a tremendous work ethic and demonstrated integrity and professionalism. He quickly understood our project which was to build a small deck in front of a new shed with ramp and step access and a bridge over a dry creek. We are very satisfied with all aspects of his work."

"Very happy with the results of our deck! Eagle Fence was very professional and knowledgeable about the work needing to be done. They added the deck to our existing screened in porch and also installed the solar lights for us. It was completed in a timely manner and they cleaned up all materials, trash, etc. Definitely a great addition for our family during summer time!"

"Great company! We had a bathroom remodel done to our master bathroom. Mack and his crew were phenomenal with the remodel. Great quality carpentry work along with great tile work. We converted our garden tub and shower to a walk in shower. They pay great attention to detail also. The price we were quoted was what we paid. Again, great company. We will definitely be using them in the future. Contact them directly +1 (706) 715-0439 - Juri"

Customers say: Quality work

"I have used Home Advisor for several projects lately and have been satisfied with the work from other pros. Gerard Kaizer was by far the best I have come across. He gave me expert advice and knew right away that my 20 year old siding was not done correctly on one side of the house. He scheduled the repair, showed up on time and did extra repairs without charging me extra. The siding finally looks straight and is very secure now after all these years. My wife and I are so happy with the work he did. Cleaned up after the job and I could not be happier with their work. He is busy but if you can get him to do your project Do It!. He really knows Quality work."

"All Brothers painting did an excellent job on the exterior of our house. Such professionals and very polite, arrived on time every day, cleaned up everyday. Replaced some of our wood siding, painted 3 colors on the house, plus painted our porches and deck floors and handicap ramp in cedar color. Back screened in sun porch with A frame ceilings. They primed the house with oil base paint first then sprayed and back brushed entire house. Highly recommend these pros. You won t be disappointed"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.

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.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

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.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.
