"Found Sentri on Angi. Jeanette and Violet were very pleasant and efficient in getting a contractor to me in the time frame needed. The contractor was excellent and the roof looks great! I would definitely work with them again if I had additional projects."

"CANIGLIA WOODWORK These two brothers are not only brilliant deck builders, but are also really nice guys and extremely professional. They have been doing this a long time and it shows. They listened to our ideas and talked us through the best way to implement that vision. Their attention to all the minute details was a joy to watch. They even went next door to our neighbors and quickly repaired a 'structure oversight' on his side of the fence to bring it up to code and strength. (Cool, huh? How many companies would bother.) On time. Hauled away trash and old deck. Cleaned area as they left. John and Justin, thank you... You both rock! Billy and Linda Council Bluffs, IA"

"Excellent all the way around.  Courteous, professional and prompt. In addition to a badly needed driveway replacement,  I wanted to add a step to the front porch so they were easier for me and others to manage going up and down them.  Mike gave me suggestions on  how to do that and how to improve the whole look of the entry way.  The crew were able to get to my job quicker than they initially thought and all was done professionally and on time.  I would use this company again and recommend it to others.

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.
