"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."

"I highly recommend Morales painting. Joel and his crew take pride in their work. I had a 23 year old log home pressure washed down to the wood. Joel then caulked every crack and carpenter bee hole that weâ re in the logs. He then applied two heavy coats of stain on my home and three decks. Then painted all the window and door trim. Plus my garage doors. He was very responsive and prompt from the first time I called him until they finished the job. Donâ t hesitate to give them a call if youâ re needing work done!!"

Carpentry FAQs, 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.

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.

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.

Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.

You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.
