"I gave the dimensions of the cement slab I wanted and I was quoted over the phone. I didn't have to wait for someone to come out. Often times these contractors come out to see where you live and what they think you can afford to pay. If you live in a nice area, they double their fees. It's happened to me on more than one occasion. Giving me the price over the phone for the exact size I wanted made me feel like the contractor was an honest guy. The installation was arranged right away and the crew got there early. They focused on the job until they were done. They did an excellent job! Would recommend this company highly!"

"This company was fast and professional. They came out and gave us a quote. We didn’t have to wait. When they said they were going to be there they were there. My fence looks amazing. I have told many others about this company when they talk about how nice my fence looks. I would recommend them to anyone I know that is looking to have fence work done."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

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.
