"Cutt Construction was great to us. We have a awesome looking kitchen with great appliances and his crew came when they said, had the project in hand, finished early and kept us informed all they way. Cutt Construction was a value add for my family and made the difference between not having a usable house and having one that works. We give this company first consideration with every project now."

"Dale, the owner of River View Construction n crew, constructed a 3 car detached garage at my property. He is a good communicator, clearly a very experienced contractor, a great coordinator n has a talented crew. In spite of this summers intense heat, Dale and his crew prepared the site for the; footers, foundation walls, slab, apron n sidewalk, and, finished all the concrete work. RV Construction also; framed, roofed n sided the structure. And, installed; windows, garage n a pedistrian doors. A shed roof was also added to protect the pedistrian door. Grading was also provided to finish the grade n slope of the yard. The project was completed within budget and schedule. I recommend this firm n general contractor for other construction projects. And, will rehire RV Construction for other projects."

"Working with Vernon was so easy. He communicated the progress on my unit through the project. He shared pictures along the way as well. He even came up with a simple solution to a small issue we had with our walls not being completely straight and out floors not being entirely level back when the home was built 20 years ago. He made the unit completely level and came up with a solution to hide how he made it level. The unit is beautiful and I would recommend Vernon to anyone looking to have quality woodworking done at their house."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.
