"We couldn't be happier with our decision to hire O'Rourke Deck Services to build our new Cedar deck! From start to finish the process was so easy and stress free for us. Sean was quick to provide a very thorough estimate in a wide range of materials so we could select one that fit our exact budget. They handled all the permitting and the work was done quickly, We really could not be happier with the result. Thanks again Sean and Jesse!"

"I am extremely pleased with the work that was done in my home! He did an amazing job mounting both of my TVs, installing the two floating shelves, and mounting my fireplace. Everything was completed with great attention to detail, precision, and professionalism. He made sure everything was level, secure, and positioned exactly where I wanted it. The finished setup looks beautiful and has completely transformed the space. He was punctual, knowledgeable, and left the area clean after the job was done. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for quality workmanship and excellent customer service. I will definitely be using him again for future projects!"

"Frank and his crew completely gutted and rebuilt our powder room in a timely manner. We could not be more pleased with our renovation and highly recommend them. We would give them a six star rating if possible for their professionalism and skills. Thank you Slip Proof!"

"Mitch and Spencer handled my tuck pointing job, which started out small but turned out to be large, professionally. They knew what the problem was with water infiltration and how to treat it. Their tuck-pointer did really great work on the stone and brick and rebuilding my rear stairs and he left the place spotless. I will definitely re-hire them for projects I have coming up."

This was one of the most positive experiences we have ever had with a contractor.  Within one day of contacting Closet Organizing System via email we received a callback.  We explained what our goal was and what we were interested in pursuing.  We then received a very prompt call from the Designer, Rich, who set up an appointment at our convenience in the evening since we both work.  He listened carefully to what our goals were and took measurements of all the spaces.  His then went to work on designing the systems for each space.  He kept us updated through email on his progress.  Again at our convenience in the evening he presented his ideas.  He was right on and we loved everything he suggested.  He was a true professional with over 30 years of experience in designing and installing closet systems.  We even discovered that he had installed my in-laws systems 25 years ago.   They still look great and are very functional.  The pricing was right where we thought it would be and within our budget so we approved the project.  Rich clearly explained what prep work would have to be done (removal of existing shelving, patching of holes and painting). We contacted our painter and created a schedule to do the project in two phases over two weeks.  They were very accommodating to again meet our busy work schedules.  The coordinator contacted  us via email two to assure that everything was set up correctly.  The project was then handed over to the installer, Todd.  He was a true professional, very courteous, and knew what he was doing.   All surfaces were protected and cleanup when he was done.  The end product is fabulous.   The night that the project was completed, Rich came by to check the work and to assure that we were happy.  Incredible Customer Service from start to finish.  The entire process took less than a month. We good not be happier and would recommend this organization to anyone seeking to better organize their living space.

"I felt confident that they would do a good job. I was not on-site and left them alone in my condo to install the crown molding. They did keep in contact with me via text with questions and pictures. They were true professionals! They did an excellent job!!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.
