I've been doing handyman, construction, carpentry work for 16 years now. Over that time I've learned how to do countless different jobs and overcome various different snags and setbacks. Efficiency and dedication drive me and I will work as much as needed to meet a deadline.

"I am very happy with the work done by JB construction.  The company came by and gave me an estitimate on two projects I was contemplating.  One of the projects I used my coupon on.  The other project was also done but paid him his normal rate.  I found the company completed the job in a very timely manner.  They even adjusted a few things that only took minutes that I was (or was not) aware of but had not asked him to do!  I was very, very appreciative of that.  They were very courteous and kept me updated on the status of the projects and their recommendations when I asked questions / opinions.  They were always prompt (on time).  I would definately recommend this service and know who to call when I need handyman services in the future.  Thank you!"

"Jesse went above and beyond the day he picked up a garage full of stuff I no longer needed. He took time to secure a piece of siding on my house and checked out my gutters and shingles. I'll definitely be retaining Jesse for additional work on my house. Great worker and nice guy!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

In most cases, your deck will need some form of deck footing to hold it in place, preventing moisture from rotting your wood and decreasing your deck’s lifespan. Concrete deck blocks are the most common type of footing for floating decks. Some homeowners use ground-level deck footings. For added security, consider digging and laying your ground-level footings below ground.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

Space deck handrail posts four to six feet apart. If the posts are more than six feet apart, the railing will be less able to withstand lateral forces and is more susceptible to breaking. Additionally, railing posts that are more than six feet apart may not be up to code, and you may face fines and be required to reinstall the posts to bring them up to code.

A sunroom will add more value to your home than a deck, but with a much higher up-front cost. Depending on its construction and function, a sunroom may be counted as additional living space, while a deck is strictly an outdoor feature. Both will increase your home’s value, but the sunroom will have a much bigger effect.

Yes, and in some cases, frozen ground may improve the digging process for footings due to sturdier conditions. It’s easier than working in muddy conditions, which are more common in the spring. Contractors may use machinery that makes this step a breeze, so harder ground shouldn’t affect the building process.
