"Doug and his team were great! We needed our deck rebuilt and reinforced for our hot tub. They build a deck sturdy enough for several hot tubs!! Doug came out quickly and gave us a very reasonable quote and was back out two days later to start the job. I wouldn't hesitate to call Doug for any home improvement project."

"These guys are fabulous! If I could give them 10 stars I would. They are professional, reasonably priced for the wok price they do, and they do great work. I have used them on many projects large and small for over 5 years. They have done both interior and exterior work, from painting to landscaping, to construction, to home repair. They have ALWAYS completed the work on time and with exceptional quality."

"Adam was incredible! I hired him after a family member failed miserably at building a new deck for us. He came in, listened to what I wanted, and then built exactly what I had envisioned only better. He truly is a master at his craft, and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to help correct the disaster we were stuck in. Hire him!!! You won’t be disappointed"

"When I met George, we talked about options for my 2 cars carport at my backyard (measurements & time frame). He's very knowledgeable of what He is doing. He also manages His crew very well. He is Mr Wright to do the right job. My family loves the carport that we don't have to worry about getting wet on rainy season to get in and out of the car. Our carport is very nice, huge, and sturdy. Thanks to R Wright Construction."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

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 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. 

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.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.
