"Ryan is a very hard and careful worker. My deck was pulling away from the house. He knew to brace the deck, remove old worn wood and replace it with pressure treated. It as a very tough job and took to days but he got it done and the deck is like new."

"They were on time. Very friendly and professional. There were problems with some of the materials in the kit and they had to fix some of them to put it together. They were here for over 8 hours, didn't even break for lunch. Even though they were here longer than expected they didn't change more than they had estimate.They did a great job and I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing work done"

"We needed to replace our old (of 30 years) large deck with a new composite deck. Communication was key throughout the project. Either through text messages or face to face. Thanks for being professional, communicative and easy to work with. The end result, is a great deck!"

"I was very pleased with Gavin’s work, he did a great job! My deck boards were pretty bad and Gavin made sure the underneath was strong before he laid the composite floor. He arrived at my home when he said he would, he was efficient and cordial. He power washed my deck .. railings and all when done. I now have a beautiful strong deck! Thank you Gavin!"

"Fogg repaired my barn foundation by reinforcing the post and beam floor with new footings, posts and beams to reinforce my aging existing structure. They took the sag out of floor and were able to complete the project on time and on budget. John and his crew gave me great tips on some other items for update that would preserve the integrity of my structure for the long run, with no ulterior motive. True craftsmen, and excellent partners for maintaining my home. 10/10, would love to hire again!"

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

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.
