"Found Sentri on Angi. Jeanette and Violet were very pleasant and efficient in getting a contractor to me in the time frame needed. The contractor was excellent and the roof looks great! I would definitely work with them again if I had additional projects."

I’m a full-time carpenter and remodeling contractor based here in North Carolina, and I take on select side projects for homeowners who want quality work done right the first time.\n\nMy background is in residential remodeling and carpentry, with hands-on experience in everything from framing and structural work to finish carpentry and detailed installs. I’ve spent years working on full home renovations, investment properties, and custom projects, so I understand not just how to build something — but how it needs to perform long-term.\n\nFor smaller jobs and side work, I focus on projects where craftsmanship actually matters. That includes things like:\n\n* Deck repairs and framing\n* Interior carpentry (trim, doors, accent walls)\n* Exterior repairs (siding, fascia, rot repair)\n* Flashing and water management issues\n* Punch-list and “fix it right” work after other contractors\n*Backsplash install and tile repair \n*Drywall repair \n*Interior and exterior painting

The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

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.

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.
