Customers say: Quick response

"We needed to complete our bathroom renovation and we were over our heads. I put out inquiries for help and before I had a chance to respond, this young man called Me to take a look at the job. I was stunned. I had called other "Professionals" who wouldn't give me the time of day. Ryan arrived the same day. Said he could do the work and what it would cost and when he could start. I was impressed when the team arrived early, assessed what needed to be done and jumped right in. To say that we were pleased with the results would be a gross understatement. We were ecstatic. The laminate floor was a sight to behold. A new functioning toilet sat proudly. A new door was installed, with knob. And, it was completed in half of the time stated. These young men are knowledgeable, hard working and extremely polite. I have no doubt that their professionalism is worth twice the cost. We wish them well and have already shared our good fortune with neighbors."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.

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.

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.

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.
