"I had them come out and give an estimate for extending our backyard deck. They came out in a timely way for the estimate and when we finallly decided to go with them they completed the construction in 2 days. It has made our backyard so much ore usable and the work is very professional and excellent quality."

"The floor was done on time they were very friendly not until they installed the reducers did it twice and it is not done properly very unprofessional. I contacted the owner and got very negative response. UPDATED COMMENT 7-27-2020, there was no reason for him to make a story up, I was not complaining about the floor, I was complaining about the reducers which were not done properly. The co-worker called me and told me he was looking for proper glue back in March. I do not know where he spent a 100.00's of dollars because I bought all material."

"Great company! Hunter came in and looked at the project we needed done and gave an estimate in 15 minutes! He then sat us down with a bunch of photos of previous work he and his crew completed and we were sold! Offered large discounts compared to other contractors we got estimates from. His crew and him did our entire master bathroom in a week start to finish! It turned out better than I could have imagined! I highly recommend Indy aces construction! Thanks Hunter!"

"FD General Contractors were so nice, professional and Davis and Franklin were so accommodating. When they finished installing the fence they made sure I was satisfied with the work they did, and they did an excellent job of cleaning up when done. I would highly recommend this company."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.

Yes, professionals can install new frames, trim, and threshold adjustments for a complete finish.

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.
