"Mark and his crew went above and beyond what we had hoped. He provided skilled design advice, advised us on available materials, and listened carefully to our requests, always ready if necessary to say you really don t want to do it that way. The whole crew was easy to work with and we highly recommend any or all of them if you re building or refurbishing decking."

"We have worked with John and his crew before, and they never disappoint. We are now living out of town and thanks to John we were able to complete work on a condo we own in a very short window of time. He is efficient, very trustable, reliable in every way and extremely knowledgeable and experienced. He leads a very good crew also. In this job, they repaired drywall, replaced baseboards, added new quarter round, redid the entire flooring in the unit, painted, and they were willing to do lifting and moving furniture to accomplish this. I would rate John at 5 out of 5 in every area, and I would not use anyone else in or around Wilmington, NC. Thank heavens for his strong work ethic, and his knowledge and expertise, and his ability to organize his crew within a short time frame!"

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!"

"Kirk put in gutters, fixed the front doorfram and did some drywall patchwork. Arrived right on que at 8am and worked really hard outside in 105 weather in Wilmington. Great communicator with good ideas on ways to fix thing giving cheaper alternatives to full remodel fixes that really did not need to be done. Really looked for our finances and was very reasonable. He’s now my go-to Handyman for our rental."

"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"

"I needed stair tread repairs to our deck. During a severe hurricane several years ago a large tree limb fell on the steps, and eventually the treads started rotting. While he was here, I also decided to add some simple shelving to the inside of our shed. He responded to my posting on Angi by calling me very quickly, just a few minutes actually. He came to my house within a day, looked everything over and gave me an estimated cost. He gave me an approximate start date and he finished all the work in one day, and did a very good cleanup before he asked me to review his work. I will definitely recommend him to my neighbors, and I will call him first if I have other carpentry work needed on my home."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

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.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.
