"We needed our composite deck repaired (it was getting dangerous to walk on), and this company made the deck secure and safe again. They were very professional, efficient, and reliable. We plan on using this company for future home updates and repairs."

"This is a small local business and they did a wonderful job on the deck. Very professional and explained everything they were going to do before hand and answered all my questions. Have already requested quotes for other projects I need done. Made sure to clean up as the went and even fixed a gate that needed repaired at no cost. Will hire again"

"Rob Holder contacted me shortly after I made a request on Angi for handyman to install a TV wall mount. He asked the right questions, expressed his confidence, experience, and strong interest in doing the job, gave a competitive price, and was patient while I got a few more estimates. His enthusiasm and sincerity convinced me to hire him, and I was not disappointed, He arrived the next day, installed the mount and helped me with the rest of the TV installation and set up (even though the job quote just involved the wall mount and TV attachment). He was friendly, respectful, and made sure I had his contact info and we talked about future jobs that might come up. I would definitely hire him again."

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.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

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. 

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.

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.
