"Garrett, Nadia, and Roland delivered a stress free deck building experience. Garrett was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. He guided us through color and design choices, kept the project on track, and made sure we were happy every step of the way. Nadia has clear communication with us and Roland ensured we were receiving top-notch craftsmanship, every detail was handled with care. Garrett and Roland were in contact with us frequently including in stopping by ensured the job ran smoothly and checked in with us at the end to make sure we were happy with the result. The result is a beautiful, sturdy deck we’ll enjoy for years. We couldn’t be happier with our deck. We’ve gotten so many compliments already. There’s no better gathering place, we have built memories that will last a lifetime with friends and family on our new deck!"

"T&J finished our basement for us including building a full bath, drywall, installing crown molding, laying flooring etc. Tony (the owner) worked with us to come up with a plan based on our wants/needs. He made our dream come to life and it turned out better than we couldâ ve imagined. He never cut corners and took the time to do things right. He and his team were professional, friendly, and knowledgeable also. We highly recommend them for home improvement needs. We used them for a couple smaller projects with amazing results too."

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. 

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.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

Yes, most services include necessary frame modifications for proper door fitting. Confirm with your provider.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.
