"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."

"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!"

"Mr. Luis, did an amazing job with this project. He communicated effectively, and the door looks brand new. It took me about 90 days since the day I mistakenly broke the top part of the storm door screen in area to find someone but it was worth the wait. I recommend his services. He is also an electrician by trade and has done apartment and home maintenance for 5 years and can do carpentry as well. Out of everyone the site recommended he was the most polite and helpful person when communicating about my project. Again thank you Mr. Luis and we will be sharing our experience with you on other platforms as well."

"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

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.

New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.

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.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.
