"This company actually listened to what I wanted. We had a 40 year-old upper and lower outside deck that structurally was sound. If I were to replace these decks as suggested by several companies, my guess is it would have cost $35,000. This company assessed my decks from a structural standpoint and determined that they could rehab the deck with long lasting materials and my deck would be something I would be proud of. I am and they did the work in a week and a half at about one third of the cost of building a new deck. I highly recommend them."

"CBJ Home Improvement refurbished our large, existing pool deck (new decking/railing) and completed it within 3 days. My husband, Dave, is a Master Carpenter but was unable to tackle the project due to a tight timeline. He understands the inconsistencies in materials (different wood widths, etc.) and what it takes to deliver a quality product. We are extremely happy with the results and the professionalism of the job. They were on time and ready to work each morning. Doug (project manager) kept in contact with us, was quickly responsive to questions and visited the project regularly to be sure everything was going smoothly. Juan (the foreman) exhibited creativity and experience in dealing with the different issues to deliver a top notch result. They rounded off the edges of the drink rail - a finishing touch we hadn't thought of, but that went a long way with Dave. The whole team was very respectful of us, our concerns and the yard - making sure it was kept clean of debris and with min"

"Bill did an excellent job. Will definitely hire Bill again. We had 4 different projects that we needed help with an Bill did them all and did them well. Bill helped us with kitchen counter caulking, needed carpentry to replace rotting wood around the front door, cleaning out and reworking the dryer vent piping plus repaired the back fence gate that was a problem getting stuck for years. Bill was a pleasure to work with and even scheduled the project to suite our availability. As I said we will definitely hire bill again."

"What more can I say about Home Genius Exteriors other than they are truly lifesavers! My home had a terrible leak in the back portion of our home. We didn't know where the leak was coming from so we assumed it was coming from the windows, so we searched via Google and found Home Genius Exteriors and saw the excellent ratings. We called and they immediately came out and started the process of our window replacement. However, upon further inspection by our project manager, Mike, he discovered it was actually our roof. After much research and time, we had the roof fixed prior to the window replacement. Mike and crew came to my home the day of the replacement on time and worked tirelessly to complete it. Because my windows were so old, they actually had to re-frame them and even made them look better than before! Home Genius Exteriors went over and beyond... their professionalism and constant contact with me made a world of difference. The final product is amazing and I am still in awe how beautiful it is! Thank you so much Mike and the Home Genius Exteriors crew!"

"Deckmaster provided a free estimate for carpentry repair work on my wooden deck and fence, and also for a powerwash and reseal of the deck, deck stairs, and a fence. I contracted them to do the carpentry only (the powerwash/sealing was more than double the cost I normally pay). Scheduling was done within a week or so, and I was very pleased with the work Gustavo and his assistant did. The repair was done carefully and competently, and showed good attention to detail. I would definitely call Deckmaster again if I needed any repair work done."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.

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.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

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.
