"This was my first time using Angie’s list. Put in the request for lawn maintenance, and Damien called me in less than 10 minutes. No other contractor reached out within 48 hours. I knew Damien was the man for the job. Came by my house and took a look at everything, and he offered to go above and beyond and do some additional weed pulling and hedging. Knocked it all out of the park. I highly recommend using Damien and his crew for your landscaping needs. 5 stars!"

"Reed is an amazing craftsman. He built this beautiful deck for me but he has done countless other projects for both me and my daughter and son-in-law. He has painted, repaired drywall, rebuilt a fireplace, built custom cabinetry, done landscaping projects, replaced flooring and many other projects. He is kind, incredibly skilled and makes sure everything is done perfectly. We consider him part of our family now! I highly recommend Reed!!!"

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

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.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.
