"Deck Renewal Systems delivered a beautiful, quality deck for our home! We are pleased with the outcome. The team was responsive, helped us to select a great material, was able to leverage existing framing (saved us money) and ensured the new deck was reinforced with updated support posts. They even flexed to accommodate our last minute decision to add a patio with another vendor so that the deck and patio worked together. The team was hard working and a pleasure to work with. Definitely recommend if you're looking to add a beautiful deck to your home!"

"Abe is incredibly efficient in his work. He did an outstanding job building my deck, and got everything done just how I wanted it and described. He inspects his own work as well to make sure it is up to his standards and if he notices something he doesn’t like, he will fix it immediately! He wants you to enjoy the space you have created in your mind and give you the very best of that work. He is a proud, hard worker, that loves what he does. I promise you that if you go with Abe he will give you the most excellent work!"

"From my very first phone call, Tim was extremely helpful and eager to assist, clearly explaining the process and answering all of my questions. Jim visited first to assess the project, and I explained that the work would involve remodeling an existing built‑in furniture unit and transforming it into a functional home office. He fully understood the scope and offered practical input based on his experience. Jim completed the work on time and to a very high standard, with excellent attention to detail and overall quality. The transformation from the original built‑in to the finished home office exceeded my expectations, both in terms of craftsmanship and functionality. It was a pleasure working with Tristate from start to finish, and I would not hesitate to highly recommend them."

"I hired S&L for several projects to assist on finish work for a new house I was building. The work included installing cabinetry in the kitchen, baths and laundry room. Custom building shelving in several closet and a pantry. Doing stone and tile work. Also finish trim in various areas around the house. The team did excellent work, were very conscientious about the work and also very clean and respectful about the work and our needs. I would highly recommend them for any type of project. As we have new needs I will be contacting them for future projects."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.
