"A tree from my property damaged my neighbor's fence and I contracted with JNJ Fencing. John requested a picture which I provided and he came out the following day. Job was completed in record time Both my neighbor and I are quite pleased with the pair. Workers were courteous, affable and engaging. I would definitely recommend this company. Should I ever need any future fencing work to be done, I would absolutely reach out to JNJ Fencing."

"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!!!"

"We had a few rotted spots on our house soffit and fascia that needed repair. They communicated with us and came on the day and time they said they would. They finished the job in half a day and we were very pleased with the results. They even took a piece of our wood to have the paint matched so they could paint it to look like the rest of the house. Everyone was very friendly and professional. Would definitely hire this company again!"

"Mr. Pope and his assistant from Barco Electrical did an excellent job. They performed a survey, provided a timely estimate and completed the work on an agreed upon schedule. The work performed was top notch. Installed the outlets and switch exactly where I needed them. Upon completion they cleaned up the job site and left everything neat and tidy. Would highly recommend them for any electrical needs and I would definitely use them again in the future."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

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.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

It's possible to turn your carport into a living space, but there are additional factors to address over turning it into a garage. HVAC, plumbing, and electricity won't be optional, and you'll need finished flooring, drywall, trim work, and legal ceiling height, for starters. Also, keep in mind that living space conversions may require upgrading the foundation underneath, and the permits might be more expensive as well.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects.
