"If you want a job well done, hire Ryan! He recently built a bookshelf unit for me. His workmanship is exemplary. He pays attention to every detail and creates just what you want. If youâ re looking for an excellent finishing carpenter, Ryan is your guy. On top of all that, he is polite and personable and ever so pleasant to work with. In addition to all of this, he is impeccably neat in his cleanup at the end of the project."

"My husband and I recently hired Preservation Projects to remove an old existing wood privacy fence and replace with a new one. From start to finish they were outstanding. The company is owned and operated by Champion and Aden Hammons and that’s who you will deal with. The communication was timely and Aden was patient in answering all my questions. We received bids from 4 companies and their bid was, by far, the most affordable. They got our job scheduled quickly and gave us a 3 day window of completion, but 90% of the work was completed on the first day. They removed all the debris and now we have an amazing fence! Their professionalism and skill cannot be beat! I HIGHLY recommend Preservation Projects for any work you may need—you will not be disappointed!! They were so meticulous in their work that they even saved a robin’s nest with 4 bright blue eggs! These guys are quite simply the BEST!"

"Alex was extremely professional in building my deck. He was able to come up with creative and effective solutions for the deck that will last for years. When receiving estimates for the deck, I got more than what I paid for as his craftsmanship was excellent."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

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

A few signs that you need a new door frame include:

  • The door no longer fits properly in its frame and sticks or scrapes.

  • You notice cracks, holes, or rotting.

  • You feel a draft coming from around the door when it’s closed.

  • You find yourself frequently needing to make repairs.

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.

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.
