"PJC Construction did a fantastic job replacing our backyard wooden fence. Phillip, the owner, was professional throughout the entire process. He communicated regularly and his crews showed up on time and produced quality work. They did such a great job I hired the company again to screen in my back patio and build a backyard deck, which turned out great as well! This company has become my first choice for any home project I will need help with in the future."

"JDP Construction installed a wood fence around my home. It looks absolutely great. They were professional, punctual, friendly, and very knowledgeable. I will refer them to friends and family. And I will also use them for my next home project! I am pleased!"

"Omg, I went through sooo many ppl who did not know what they were doing and finally I got the true pros!!! They had to do so much to make my drop in stove fit in the space! They came prepared and ready to work! With each issue that came up I said *oh do you all have to come back*, they said nope! We have it in the truck. They had to cut some of the countertop, build a platform, rebuild the bottom front part of the countertop bxc the last person messed it up. When I say Start to Finish was my saving grace! Thank you sooo much! They will be my new handyman/home improvement! I forgot to mention they were a little early, which in my book is on time but since everyone was always super late I just figured they would be too but nope! They are amazing!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

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.

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.
