Customers say: Terrific value

"Ervin is extremely professional and very helpful. He always answers questions and actually volunteers information to help his customer. I have a smaller ranch house, and Ervin and his crew were in and out in 3 hours. They did extra nail rolling at my request to protect kids feet, with no questions. The man checking the ground talked to me and told me exactly what he was doing and that he would do everything he could to make it safe for the kids. Minus the tremendous amount of "gravel" coating everything outside (because my shingles were ancient) and one very small plant casualty, the whole yard was exactly as it was when they arrived. The roof looks good and I will recommend this company to my friends and family."

"I contracted MSW to install 155 ft of wood picket fence. Merv was very good about calling me back to schedule the work. The quality of the finished fence just really impressed me. I could not have done as good of a job, and I have installed many fences for myself. MSW gave me a fair price and did an excellent job. I hope to hire MSW again for some bigger projects. I would not hesitate to hire Merv (MSW) again. I am more than 100% satisfied."

"The customer service is excellent! Tyler contacted me regarding my request on Angi within an hour of filling out my request. He ran by my house, after asking if it was ok to do so, to look at what needed to be done. He had a very professional written estimate to me that same afternoon. He worked with my schedule to get the job done. Koby was out and power washed my house, pergola and Adirondack chairs this morning. He did an excellent job. Everything looks so nice, clean and ready for summer. Very satisfied with my experience with Under Pressure 260 LLC! I would definitely use them again!"

"Had problems showing up on time. Had to put on vinyl siding but struggled to get it right. Had to repaint inside wall 3 times, had to re-mud twice. Tried really hard to do a good job and kept coming back until I was satisfied. Brought 3 year old son to the job (mother was present but would have gotten more done without having to watch him). Very pleasant and eager to please but not sure of their experience level."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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. 

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

A few signs that you need a new door frame include:

  • The door no longer fits properly in its frame and sticks or scrapes.

  • You notice cracks, holes, or rotting.

  • You feel a draft coming from around the door when it’s closed.

  • You find yourself frequently needing to make repairs.

Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.
