"Allen installed the baseboard in a house owned by a family member of mine. Throughout the entire process, Allen was professional, accommodating and punctual. I was very impressed by the attention to detail that is evident throughout the installation. Allen went so far as to craft caps for some of the baseboard corners so none of the cut lines of the wood would show. He clearly sweats the details! it's rare to find businesses that provide quality work at prices that are very fair, and Allen delivers on all counts. I highly recommend Fix it Philips Construction based on my experience. "

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.

You can enclose an open carport, however, there are several things to consider before opting to do so. You'll want to check local building codes and permit requirements before proceeding to make sure it’s legal. While you can sometimes stick-frame a carport enclosure, pre-fab kits are also available. Remember that you'll likely need to meet concrete slab regulations and provide lighting inside the structure. Both of which could substantially drive up costs.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

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.
