"My deck and front porch railing were in desperate need of repairs. These guys really care about the work they do and deliver quality results . Their prices are very reasonable. I even build a custom gate for the deck -where other companies told me they couldnâ t do it or the price was ridiculously high- and I delivered exactly what I was looking for add a fair price. highly recommend!"

"After a major disappointment recently with a painting contractor, Art of Siding has restored my faith in humankind. No gimmicks, no gauging. and prompt service. Art repaired the dryer vent and put a cage over the opening to prevent birds from nesting. Oh and did I mention, he did it in the drizzling rain with pending thunderstorms, and the cost was 1/4 of a previous quote. Great to see there are still a few honest people on the planet."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off.
