"They completed the entire roofing project in two days time. However, the inside trim work around the skylights has been delayed for three weeks. The good thing is that I've held back a hefty amount of monies to finish paying off the project. I get there are delays based upon who does what type of specialty work. The carpenter is scheduled for next week Tuesday. We'll see."

"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!"

"My wife and I have been working with Tony and his family for a couple of years now on various home improvement projects. Tony has completed several jobs for us, including building a new beautiful new deck and gazebo—with a roof underneath to create a dry storage area. I don’t write many reviews because I have high expectations when it comes to contractors, and most fall short in the little things that make a big difference. Tony is a rare exception. He consistently goes above and beyond to do what’s right for his customers, even when it takes extra time and effort. He’s a true craftsman—personable, detail-oriented, and collaborative. As others have noted, he works closely with you to develop a design that balances quality, functionality, and cost. Before you choose a contractor for your next home project, I strongly recommend sitting down with Tony—you’ll appreciate his skill, insight, and commitment to excellence."

"Scheduling went really well, the receptionist was good to work with. They came out, looked over the roof and told my husband that nothing was wrong with the roof. We are still having problems with water intrusion."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Installing an ornamental or decorative porch column takes around three to five hours. Structural columns take longer because your pro has to install a jack to hold up the roof while switching the column out. If there's any structural damage, it can add several days to the timeline to repair the damage.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

You can enclose an open carport, however, there are several things to consider before opting to do so. You'll want to check local building codes and permit requirements before proceeding to make sure it’s legal. While you can sometimes stick-frame a carport enclosure, pre-fab kits are also available. Remember that you'll likely need to meet concrete slab regulations and provide lighting inside the structure. Both of which could substantially drive up costs.

The cost to convert a carport into a garage averages about $22,000, ranging from about $15,000 and $55,000. Additional cost factors to consider include size, time of year, and how much of the carport you can reuse. Other cost factors include the kinds and amounts of materials used, such as:

  • Add insulation: $1 per square foot

  • Add drywall: $1–$3 per square foot

  • Add window: $450–$2,000 per window

  • Add outlets: $75–$500

  • Add garage door: $250–$11,200

  • Enclose framing: $5–$13 per square foot

  • Replace roofing: $1,000–$2,000

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.
