"Dave and his son are phenomenal. He contacted me minutes after my initial post and was at my home within 1 hour. He looked at my deck and sent a quote later that evening. He began work that next week. What was an expected 2 day fix turned into a week long job due to the extensive damage. Dave kept me informed of what was done and needed to be done at the end of each day. He let me know what else needed to be done to make the deck last with the least amount of maintenance. I must admit my deck looks better now than it did with the initial builder. Thank you so much for a job well done."

"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."

"Ruth and the technicians seemed to care very much that the job was done correctly. The end product was perfect (good as new) and it was amazing to have so many skillsets available at one business (painting, drywall, etc). Highly recommended!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.

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. 

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

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. 

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.
