Q: Why do some houses have soffits and others don’t?

• <div><p>Many modern homes have soffits, but older ones don&rsquo;t, and you may be wondering why. Older homes have eaves that extend further beyond the home and help to circulate air, negating the need for a soffit. This style of building has faded away, therefore, modern homes need separate soffit installation. Modern soffits are more efficient than this older style and require less material to construct, saving homeowners money. </p></div>

Q: Why consider hiring a professional for deck or porch repairs?

• <div><p>Professionals ensure safe, thorough repairs using quality materials, extending the life of your structure.</p></div>

Q: Should you tip contractors, builders, or general contractors?

• <div><p>Tipping contractors, builders, or general contractors is not customary or expected. Unlike many service professions where tipping is built into the payment structure, construction professionals typically charge a full rate for their services. However, you may choose to tip a worker for exceptional service, such as if they go above and beyond, stay late to meet a deadline, or work on a holiday weekend. Before offering a tip, it's a good idea to ask about the company's policy, as some prohibit their employees from accepting gratuities. If you want to show your appreciation for a job well done without giving a cash tip, consider writing a positive online review or offering to serve as a reference for potential new customers.</p></div>

Q: Does homeowners insurance cover floor joists?

• <div><p>Homeowners insurance may cover damaged floor joists, depending on your policy. Insurance typically covers issues from storms, fires, or water damage from burst pipes. However, don't expect your insurance company to cover damage from wear and tear, poor maintenance, or termites. </p></div>

Q: Does a carpenter have to be licensed?

• <div><p>Some states require carpenters to be licensed to perform forms of carpentry, such as framing. The license requires a certain amount of experience and to pass an examination. In states that don&rsquo;t require carpenters to be licensed, they must be licensed as a contractor if they work independently rather than solely as a subcontractor under a licensed builder. Use Angi&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">contractor licensing tool</a> to find out whether a potential carpenter is licensed in your state.</p></div>

I hired them to install about a half acre of 5' Chainlink fence. My yard is on a hill and they did an impressive job of compensating for the incline and making it look nice. If I had a nicer phone I'd take pictures of how it still looks great more 3 years later.

Everything was explained and our options were given to us about treated wood versus cedar for a tear out and install of new railing. We went with cedar, looks great! The project came in at the quoted price as well.
