"L&B Services did a tear down and rebuild of an old deck. They really know how to build a solid deck with poured cement footings, sauna tubes, and sturdy lumber. Bob was very good at keeping us informed of the work to be done and the timeline. The deck was done on time. It is a large deck (30x12) with 3 sets of stairs, dog gates, and skirting. The end result was a sturdy deck that will last for decades. Very easy and personable group to work with."

"Where do I begin? I hired this company to build me a deck off of my kitchen area. It’s so pretty. I spend all of my time out there. They did such an amazing job we had them install new vinyl siding and an asphalt shingle roof for us as well. They were so helpful with the deck design. We are having them come back to redo our master bathroom!"

"Sawtooth Services replaced the entire roof and repaired past storm/tree damage on my 100+ year old farmhouse. They did such a wonderful job! When I was not able to be on site, they were in contact with me during the entire process. I couldn’t be more pleased with their diligence, ethics and consideration while they worked their magic. I’ve had positive feedback from my neighbors about the work they did, and how beautiful the roof is now! They quoted me a very reasonable price and finished right on budget!! I will not hesitate to contact them again when I’m ready to schedule some future window and door repairs. They’re the BEST!!"

"We hired Conley inc to build a deck on the back of the house and we couldnâ t be happier. Steve and his crew did a great job, were very polite and professional, and I have no doubt our deck will last for decades. Would definitely go with them again"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.

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.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

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.

Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.
