"I'm happy to share my thoughts on John Munn and his company, Coastal Built Construction. I recently had the pleasure of working with John and his team on a deck rebuild project at my house, and I have to say that I'm absolutely thrilled with the results. From the very beginning of the project, John was incredibly professional and attentive to detail. He took the time to listen to my ideas and concerns, and he was always available to answer any questions I had along the way. His team was efficient and kept the job site clean and spotless. He turned a tired old deck into a brand new impressive, modern structure with a set of infinity steps across the entire thing. The end result of the project was amazing. John and his team took great care to ensure that the deck was not only aesthetically pleasing but also structurally sound and safe for my family to use. Throughout the entire process, John was an absolute pleasure to work with. His professionalism and expertise were evident in every aspect of the project, and his dedication to his craft was truly impressive. I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to work with John and his team, and I would not hesitate to recommend Coastal Built Construction to anyone looking for high-quality construction work. From deck building to full renovations and construction, if you're looking for a true professional that delivers exceptional results, look no further than Coastal Built Construction and John Munn!"

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I highly recommend Presley Contracting! They did an excellent job building the roof over my deck, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. The entire crew was professional, hardworking, and respectful from start to finish. They paid close attention to detail, kept everything clean, and made sure the job was done right. The quality of their workmanship really shows, and the finished deck roof looks great. I appreciate all the hard work the crew put in and would definitely recommend Presley Contracting to anyone looking for quality work and a dependable crew!"

"Nick competed with the various shower remodelers in the area. He installed a tile shower, tile floor and painted two rooms for less that the cost the others quoted for the shower only, and the others did not use tile but the panels. The tile work was beautiful and we were very pleased with the work. I wanted some special plumbing, so I purchased several items and Nick and I settled the final cost very equitably and Nick was very generous in the allowances for the materials I provided. The final check and clean up was done well and we were very pleased with the job and finances. i would recommend Creative Concepts highly"

"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

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.
