"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."

"Their painter, Mark, quoted the job and did all the work. He is a hard worker, is very knowledgeable, is a good communicator, and was a pleasure to have working in our house. The quality was excellent and was finished right on schedule. Mark even went above and beyond what we expected in a few areas. We were very pleased with the whole experience."

"Terry responded to my post within a half hour. I had an estimate within a day or so, and the job was done within the week. Darren and Jim were really great guys to work with. The repairs made sense, and the restoration looks great."

"5/5 Highly Recommend! I recently hired the 4 Seasons Painting & Drywall team for an interior painting project, and I couldn't be more impressed. From the initial communication, walkthrough to the final cleanup, they were the definition of professional. Chris, Will, Brad, Travis and Scott handled the entire job with great care, but what really stood out was their attention to detail. The lines are perfectly sharp, the coverage is flawless, and they took the time to ensure everything was prepped correctly. It’s rare to find a crew that delivers such high-quality work while being efficient and respectful of your home. If you're looking for painters who do the job right the first time, look no further!"

"Gary gave excellent explanation as to what he was doing. Clearly I had the shed with a mind of it's own. After much work, we found there continued to be leaks in the building. Small mind you, but none-the-less wet spots. It was clear to me this was not acceptable, to Gary. I did not have to say a thing. He promptly went about re- evaluating the situation, discovered something I believe most would have never found. He fixed it, and I have an dry building again. He went beyond expectations, as the building was cleaned from top to bottom, everything replace, and dry! He did everything he said he would do. I am most pleased!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

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 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.

Yes, professionals can install new frames, trim, and threshold adjustments for a complete finish.
