"Once I sent her all the measurements, it took her a little while to get the options back to me.  Overall, they're good designs.  However, they're very simplistic and give general ideas for space planning.  I was hoping to have a better idea for sizes of furniture for the space and some variations on staging.  
Jill was very responsive when I did have a question.  I'm not sure how helpful it is to have a virtual design done.  If we lived in similar cities, I'd probably use her again for help with additional designs.

"Randy's came out quickly after we first called. They gave us an estimate for the project right away. We later added to the original project to include other areas of our building which was greeted with a "No problem". They came to do the project quickly as scheduled and stayed until it was entirely completed. They were very professional and talked with us throughout the project. They voluntarily did a few extra things that made the project look even better WITHOUT CHARGING a dime extra. Even when the project took a day longer because of the add-on, they didn't change the original estimate and didn't complain. They were very positive and even cheerful throughout the project and worked very hard. They were continuously professional and friendly. It is obvious that they cared about the quality of their work. We had a great experience with Randy's Total Renovation. They did a great job at a great price and did extremely good work. We will hire them again for all work we need and recommend them to anyone who needs any kind of construction or renovation"

"Although our overall job had a change in scope and had to be stopped and re-started a couple of times, Mr. Minor was ready and able to get the job completed. The crew was quick and efficient. I’ll call them again when I need electrical work done."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.

There are both temporary and permanent ways to enclose a carport. If you’re looking to enclose your carport for the winter, a canvas enclosure could do the trick. It won’t be as protective as a permanent structure, but it can offer some protection from elements like snow, rain, and wind. For a permanent enclosure, you can add extra walls, add a new vertical roof, or a lean-to addition on one side of the structure.

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.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.
