"Oleg was a very professional and friendly gentleman who did just excellent work on the deck. He and his partners pressure washed, sanded and stained my deck that goes all the way around the house and it looks fantastic. They were just very nice and appreciative."

"We hired DDK Construction to build a 16ft x 32ft second-floor deck for our home, and we're very pleased with the results. One of the standout aspects of working with DDK was their handling of the permitting and paperwork with the city, which made the process much smoother for us. The deck itself is solid and well-built. We especially appreciated their straightforward approach to costs—we paid them for labor only, and we purchased the materials ourselves based on their recommendations. This transparent method meant no markup on materials, and we had the freedom to choose exactly what we wanted. While the project took longer than initially expected due to some delays with the city of Asheville and DDK Construction's other commitments, we were kept informed throughout. The quality of the work was worth the wait. A special mention to Gerry, who provided some excellent suggestions that enhanced both the beauty and functionality of our deck. His insights were invaluable, and we're very happy with how everything turned out. Overall, we highly recommend DDK Construction for their professionalism, quality craftsmanship, and honesty in pricing. We extremely satisfied with our new deck."

"I couldn't be happier. From the initial consult to planning to the build, everything went great. Outstanding communication throughout. Builders were very professional & worked hard to make sure all was done to my satisfaction. I now have a beautiful cabin with a showcase deck. I highly recommend Magnolia Home Solutions."

"I took bids for the exterior my house to be washed after several years of weather and dirt. Marcus the owner was the only one to show up, and when he told me he would, and he quoted me a fair price! The day of our scheduled appointment, once again came on time and got right to work. They were thorough and did a very professional job. I am not sure it has ever looked this good since I built it! Thanks!"

"Highly recommend. I had several repairs needed around my house. Gault met with me within one day, carefully reviewed all of my items, and provided thoughtful perspectives. I expressed that one repair was particularly urgent and Gault worked with me to have the work performed the very next day. The work was done with very high quality and professionalism. I am very satisfied and look forward to potential future engagements. The urgent work we had done was replacing a load bearing 6x6 leg on my screened-in porch."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.

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, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.
