"Forrest and his crew did a magnificent job with our deck replacement project. Ragsdale Home Services is easy to work with, they are prompt, excellent craftsmen, and they clean up each day after work. We would hire them again for any other projects that we have."

"Dylan was amazing to work with. He knew exactly what I wanted and delivered. He had to rebuild my front porch railing and I couldn't be happier. It looks better than what I originally had. He came on time and very polite. I would recommend him and I would definitely hire him if I should ever need this type of work again."

"LV Building Solutions did a fantastic job building a screened in porch on my deck. I couldn’t be happier! Benito provided options and was creative in making this project the best end result for me. He was easy to communicate with and was professional, timely and his price was fair. I would highly recommend him and would absolutely use him again!"

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’m extremely happy with the work completed. He handled several projects for me including hanging curtain rods and curtains, mounting multiple pieces of artwork, and making sure everything was aligned and evenly spaced. He came prepared, worked quickly without rushing, and left the area clean when he finished. Great communication, fair pricing, and excellent craftsmanship. Highly recommend!"

"I have a 7'X 28' front porch & I wanted a 4' deck to wrap around 3 sides of that porch. I initially received 4 quotes. Roc's quote was the lowest of the 4, which initially bothered me a bit. But I got to see pictures of his previous work and he was even willing to take me to an existing customer to see his work. We didn't get that far because I gave him the job anyway. Roc is a very likable guy and is very upfront and honest about his company & methods. Roc & his crew always showed up when expected and they always plunged in and got straight to work, many days battling extreme N.C. heat & humidity. I would like to have seen a little more attention to detail regarding the finish and trim toward the end of the job, but I really can't complain about the deck. The finished product is beautiful and we find ourselves sitting out on the porch from the evening to late at night. I got a beautiful deck for a wonderful price. Thank you Roc & your team!!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Enhances property value, ensures safety, and provides a sound basis for future construction.

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.
