"Was hired for many projects, painting was just one. Trim carpentry work was tedious, yet completed perfectly. I had a wide variety of contractors, therefore Papaâ s had to accommodate and work around many obstacles. My long list was completed on schedule, but most important to me is that any issues I found, no matter how small, were resolved promptly and without question."

"Coaty & The Crew installed a new wooden deck at my house in Lexington, Kentucky. This area has very strict building codes but they were able to build the deck nicely and pass all city inspections. We ran into a few issues, such as having to make modifications to the footers, but they were able to quickly fix all of these unforeseen issues and build a good quality deck. I highly recommend them and will call them for all my future deck projects."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

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.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.
