Customers say: Quick response

"I am so happy I chose Wilson Construction. I needed a repair of our side porch steps. He came out immediately to give me a quote. The quote was very reasonable and we ended up getting the entire side porch replaced ( it was much needed). It was replaced in one day less than a week after we called. Job well done. I highly recommend, you won’t regret it."

"Emanuel Schmidt (owner) and his crew, although having been in business for just a few years, was exceptional to work with. From the communications, to the quality of workmanship for the price, to the customer service provided, to the respect they showed me as a homeowner, to the final walkthrough for quality that Emanuel came and did prior to final payment.........I can't say enough about how well they worked with me on this job. I had changed my mind several times in the process as we were picky about the deck we wanted to add to our above ground swimming pool. Materials were composite for the deck, and he completed the job an ample time for our needs. I would highly recommend PLS Construction in the future to anyone needing quality Amish craftmanship. Thank you to Emanuel and his crew. Please call me if you want a reference about PLS."

"We have used Cody for several home projects over the last five years and have never been disappointed. So when it came time to get a new roof Cody was our first and only choice. Cody has a great work ethic which is hard to find these days. He is professional, friendly, prompt and gets the job done in a timely manner and a reasonable price. His workmanship is always top notch! We have had several of the neighbors comment on how nice our roof looks, what a great job was done on it and how Promptly it was done. I wouldn t hesitate to recommend Marin s Construction, in fact 2 of my neighbors have already asked for his number."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.

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.

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.

While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.

Building a barndominium means converting a barn into a house. Barndominiums are becoming popular as spacious and stylish alternatives to typical housing structures. Old barns that become houses traditionally consist of wooden construction. However, newer structures, such as pole barns, often contain metal exteriors and roofs. Converting a metal outbuilding into a house presents an excellent opportunity to create a barndominium from metal.
