"My wooden privacy fence was not installed correctly. About a week after installation a portion of the fence began leaning forward and several of the boards begin buckling at the bottom. The fence was installed on September 2, 2021, and I contacted the owner on September 10, 2021. He responded back and said he would be there on the 13th and did not show. I receive a text from the owner on September 15, 2021, stating he had not forgotten he was going to wait until everything dries up before coming back out. I contacted the owner back again on October 21, 2021, and have not received a response. I also contacted the owner today which is November 15, 2021, and I still have not received a response back. I would not recommend Bordelons Home Repair because he did not install my fence correctly by not using enough boards to support the wooden fence and he does not stand behind his work."

"Total rip off..signed a contract to have my roof replaced, and was planning to get other done after that..took $ 6405 advance for material, rest $ 4000 was due at completion of the job. torn my roof, made a mess in the yard and all around the house, no call no show for 3 days. Multiple calls and messages from me requesting to cover the roof as we had 90% forecast of rain. The material he had delivered on site was not even one third (I was told by the other contractor who we hired to clean up his mess). DO NOT HIRE HIM. I WILL BE SEEKING A LEGAL ACTION SOON."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.

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.
