"I ran out of insurance money before the work was completed, but this contractor does great work, and was diligent about trying to save me money. He does a lot of the work himself; he doesn't just delegate the work to someone else."

"In August of 2016 Southeast Louisiana (Livingston, East Baton Rouge and Ascension Parishes) had over 41" of Local and Surrounding Areas of Rain that FLOODED the areas. OVER FOUR HOUNDRED THOUSAND (400,000) Homes and Businesses were DEVISTATED by the massive flooding. Our Two-Story Home in Denham Springs, LA (Watson Community) had over two feet of Flood, Swamp, Sewer Water for four days. The flood water DEVISTATED our Downstairs Living Room, Master Bedroom, Bathroom and Closets, Kitchen/Dining Room, Half-Bath and Stairwell Storage Area, along with ALL THE CONTENTS; Furniture, Appliances, Perisomal Belongings and etc. Our Garage along with it's contents were DESTROYED. We also lost TWO Vehicles (paid for... No Vehicle Payments) to the Flood, ALONG WITH ANYTHING ON OUR POURCHES AND IN THE YARD. We were STRANDED in our Home and could not leave via Vehicle for FOUR DAYS, luckily, we had Neighbors who had boats and checked on the Neighborhood. We NEVER SAW ANY FEMA workers or Charity organizations during the time we were flooded. After the flood, one day a Church group came into our Neighborhood with boxed lunches. Because of ALL the Citizens of Southeast Louisiana that were affected by the Flood, it was IMPOSSIBLE to find RELIABLE, HONEST and COMPENTENT Crafts to Re-Build our DEVISTATED Home. We contacted MANY Contractors who were Recommended by Neighbors and Friends, BUT the Contracts these Contractors wanted us to sign were RIDICULOUS! The Contracts Basically Stated that if the Contractor DID NOT PAY the various Crafts for the work performed, the Crafts could FILE SUITE AGAINST US for Payment. Also, the Contracts stated that any Insurance Money we received for the Flood Damage was to be place in Escrow, a separated Bank Account, so the Contractor could have ACCESS to the MONEY...??? My wife and I did MOST of the Demolishing (removing, Sheetrock, Insulation, Carpeting, Harwood Flooring and etc.). Luckily one day, one of our nice neighbors had the Live Oak Football Team over at his house helping out. The neighbor came over and asked if we needed any Heavy Lifting help. We had the team dissemble and remove our Custom Built Bernhard (North Carolina) Massive Bedroom Suite, with Dresser, Armoire and TV Hutch, along with our NEW 6 month old King Sized Sleep Number Bed, Massive Custom Built Bernhard (North Carolina) Dining Room Table and Hutch Buffet Cabinet, Sectional Sofa and other items to or front porch so FEMA could inventory the damaged items. We finally decided to Sub-Contract the Crafts ourselves, which was a NIGHTMARE. MOST of the Crafts we finally hired via “word of mouth” or Home Depot, were inexperienced and did a POOR JOB, Including an Established Local Flooring Business Located in Denham Springs, LA. I started calling ALL the Cabinet Makers in Denham Springs, Baton Rouge, Gonzales and MOST of SE Louisiana. LUCKILY, I FOUND David DeVall to make our Kitchen, Master Bath and Hal-Bath Cabinets, along with finishing up our Custom Shower and Installing the Shower Door. David DeVall did a GREAT JOB in building our Custom Cabinets and the work on our shower! David had gave me a quote to install the flooring and Custom Shower, I WISH I HAD USED David DeVall TO DO THE WORK NOW, because I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THE SHOWER AND FLOORING WORK done by the Established Local Flooring Business Located in Denham Springs, LA. We STILL have some jobs to be finished; woodwork around our fireplace and woodwork on the Livingroom/Kitchen Support Column, which was “POORLY” done by the man who we hired for Sheetrock and Painting (which the man and his crew did a poor job)… I will probably get David to finish up the woodworking. We still need our Fireplace removed and a New Fireplace Installed, I don’t know if David does this work. We also need Shelves built for our Master Closet and Pantry, I was thing of doing this myself but have not felt like doing the work. I RECOMMEND David DeVall for any Cabinetry work, Kitchen/Bath, Flooring and etc. or any other jobs he can do."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

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. 

Installing an ornamental or decorative porch column takes around three to five hours. Structural columns take longer because your pro has to install a jack to hold up the roof while switching the column out. If there's any structural damage, it can add several days to the timeline to repair the damage.
