"Reed is an amazing craftsman. He built this beautiful deck for me but he has done countless other projects for both me and my daughter and son-in-law. He has painted, repaired drywall, rebuilt a fireplace, built custom cabinetry, done landscaping projects, replaced flooring and many other projects. He is kind, incredibly skilled and makes sure everything is done perfectly. We consider him part of our family now! I highly recommend Reed!!!"

"JNJ exceeded our expectations. Jarred was very professional and provided excellent customer service. The crew who actually completed the job (Tyrone and Robert) answered every question, explained every step of the process and even performed minor work outside of the scope of the project to ensure customer satisfaction. I will definitely consider JNJ Fencing for future projects and definitely refer the company to others."

"Fantastic!!! The team made me a priority and not only reached out but were able to get to my location in less than 10 hours. Competitors in the same area werenâ t even able to get me on the books for weeks. They came out and were professional and got the job done very quickly. They were able to repair my damaged dry wall and then paint the area to match the rest of the wall. I will definitely hire them again. Great job done by truly experienced craftsman. â­ ï¸ â­ ï¸ â­ ï¸ â­ ï¸ â­ ï¸"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.
