"I contacted Wolverine Custom Painting in the spring to discuss my project. Doug came to my home and we walked through all of the tasks that needed to be done including pressure washing, making repairs, and painting/staining. He was very thorough and took the time to help me understand that there was more needed than I originally expected, especially due to how long it had been since the last painting/staining. I received his quote in a timely fashion and he was quick to answer the questions that I had. I understood when I signed the contract that I would need to wait until summer for the job to be completed. The job was started the end of July and took about a week and a half to complete. Doug and all of the workers were professional, friendly, and informative throughout the project. Because this company could provide a wide range of services, it made it easy for me. I was especially impressed by the work done to prepare the buildings for the staining/painting. Everyone was careful to work around the landscaping and kept the area clean each day. The quality of the final product is excellent - my home looks better than it ever has before. The cost was high but well worth the final results."

"I tried for several years to repair our worn out deck. I didn't get far at all and only demolished a portion of the deck. We got a decent tax refund this year and decided to get it done by somebody that knows what they're doing. Using Angie's List, we got four competitive bids to do the work. Deckpeckers was the most reasonable. We're very glad we chose Deckpeckers. They completed the work in good time, and now we will enjoy the summer on the deck. Very good people to work with and we highly recommend them. Excellent value for the lowest cost. It's hard to beat that."

"Adam and his crew did a wonderful job on my deck project. They removed cedar wood and replaced it with trex transcend. They did an excellent job, as they stated and in an estimated timeframe. I would recommend Expert Interiors for any project you need completed. They work hard and do the extras they need to insure a well done project. Thank you Adam, your work is very much appreciated!"

"We could not be happier with our deck or our experience working with T&J Home Improvement. Tony listened to our ideas, offered honest design and material suggestions based on his experience and our lifestyle, and crafted the perfect deck for our home. He was upfront, honest and communicated with us through the every step of the process. His dedication and passion for his craft is evident and we would recommend him again and again."

"Mike and Johnny did a great job! They gave a good quote and said they could start the following week. They did the job faster than quoted and were very meticulous with the details. They were even on their hands and knee wiping dust off our floors before they left each day. Already looking at hiring for another project we are working on!"

"Tom and his crew rebuilt our composite deck in the June-July 2018 time frame. We could not be happier with the job. The Built To Last crew was very professional and definitely went the extra mile to ensure that the rebuilt deck was better than new. Everything is very secure and tight. During the construction, Tom made several suggestions to keep the price down while not compromising quality and our satisfaction. Tom provided price transparencies for all materials. Greatly appreciated! We would definitely use Tom and his crew again. Highly recommend Built To Last Construction. Just as a note... this was a very large deck with a great deal of work."

"We are beyond pleased with the level of craftsmanship and professionalism! During the planning process, Chandler was patient and willing to work with us to get the playhouse to fit what we were hoping it to be. He is an extremely hard worker and did it with excellence. We are so thankful and our boys so excited!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

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

Enhances property value, ensures safety, and provides a sound basis for future construction.
