"Crown Home Improvement did a great job. Very professional and top-notch communication. They were on the job site within a week. I had my deck repaired and painted, fascia replaced and painted on the side of the house, repair and cleaning of gutters, painting the trim on three windows, and they repaired, replaced trim and painted some decorative shutters. 10/10 work. I would recommend them to family and friends. I will probably hire them again in the future."

"Phillip and his team did excellent work at a reasonable price. We had damaged siding replaced and the whole 2-story house painted. More siding needed to be replaced than was initially expected, but the original estimate was honored. I did not feel like there were any corners cut, and all of the workers were very neat and respectful of the space. I would definitely work with Phillip and his team again."

"Tree Line Design and Landscape did a fabulous job for us!! Our yard needed soil, sod and drainage. They filled in all areas where the soil had eroded, fixed our drainage issues and laid sod. There was a bit of a delay in finishing the job because we didn’t initially have enough sod to complete the job in the time originally estimated. Some of the first batch of sod wasn’t as good as she was used to and we didn’t have enough to complete it. Patricia made sure the vendor made good with the last batch received and it was all absolutely gorgeous!! We even had enough left over (which we had hoped for) to give to our neighbor and Patricia and her crew laid it for him. The job was completed a few days later than initially expected but, we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Patricia also recommended some pine straw to put around the trees in our yard which creates a beautiful contrast of color. Highly recommend this group!! They will create a beautiful yard for you!!!"

"Fred surpassed my expectations. He has the dexterity of a surgeon when it comes to carpentry. His finished work is neat and complete. I was impressed with the quality of the tools he works with. They are all top of the line, and he knows how to use them. He was very respectful and displayed good character. His concern for detail was obvious. Cleaning up during and after his work was another plus. I definitely would recommend Fred for any job that is within the field of his expertise. He has great knowledge and insight. Fred is a true professional."

"Jeff is by far the best contractor we have ever worked with. He did what he said he would do, when he said he would do it. He was honest, on time, hard working, and fun to have around! He worked with our drawings and offered suggestions on making the remodel better. His craftsmanship is unmatched. We will not let anyone else touch our house but Jeff! Every day we enjoy our new master bedroom and bath even more and wouldn't change a thing. You won't regret hiring Jeff."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

Building a barndominium means converting a barn into a house. Barndominiums are becoming popular as spacious and stylish alternatives to typical housing structures. Old barns that become houses traditionally consist of wooden construction. However, newer structures, such as pole barns, often contain metal exteriors and roofs. Converting a metal outbuilding into a house presents an excellent opportunity to create a barndominium from metal.

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.
