"We couldn’t be more thrilled with our experience working with R&B Remodeling on our deck project. From the very first consultation to the final walkthrough, Grant, the owner, was professional, communicative, and incredibly easy to work with. What really set them apart was their willingness to collaborate. As the project evolved, we had a few design changes and new ideas, and Grant was flexible and accommodating every step of the way. He listened carefully, offered smart suggestions, and made sure we were happy with the result. Even after the deck was complete, Grant followed up to ensure everything met our expectations and that we were completely satisfied. That kind of dedication is rare and speaks volumes about their commitment to customer service. If you're considering a deck remodel, we wholeheartedly recommend R&B Remodeling. They’re reliable, budget-friendly, and truly care about delivering a beautiful, lasting result."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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 building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

Yes, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.

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.

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.
