"Rick replaced my deck boards and steps and did a great job; I am very happy with the results. He provided an estimate the same day that he inspected the deck, and completed the work promptly and on schedule. The price was fair, and he kept in touch with me every step of the way. Great job; I am sure I will call on him again."

"Hired these guys to build a long half wall built out onto a concrete floor in order to mount some electrical equipment. Zack was very knowledgeable, and gave me a couple options for what I wanted to achieve. He also helped me build the wall in such a way that allowed easy access for the electricians coming in behind him, which helped save time and cost later down the line. Quote was very reasonable, and the install was done quickly and efficiently, with a high level of attention to detail. I was very satisfied and have recommended them to others who ended up having a similar experience. High level of professionalism and very respectful, honest folks. look forward to having them involved in my next big project."

"The work and attention to detail were meticulous. Communication and delivering on promises are very important to me and in both cases the customer service aspect was excellent. Would highly recommend, not just for landscaping, but any project where civil/mechanical engineering skills are beneficial."

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.

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.

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.
