"Wonderful experience with NC Deck and Railing. From the first evaluation to the completion of project. Corey Mitchell's building knowledge surpassed our expectations and he was able to salvage, repair and rebuild our 35+ year old deck. He has built a team of trusted craftsmen who understands his high standards and no subcontractors are used. After years of dissatisfaction with various contractors/handy men we felt like we struck gold with when we found NC Deck and Railing."

"I met with Nicole and absolutely knew she was the one to get it done! She was very professional and yet so laid back but her attention to detail was great. I had a lot of projects for her to do....Pressure Wash Deck and my back porch, Paint and Seal the deck, replace rotten wood, new gutters, installed new ceiling lights, adjusted my fan, reversed my attic stairs, mount my TV, trimmed doors and put new door knobs on. She and Talib were on time, very knowledgeable and ready to work and boy did they!! I was very pleased with everything that they did and will be calling again for additional projects. Thank you Nicole and Talib!! They are such a breath of fresh air!!"

"What a pleasure working with Ragsdale Home Services. They responded very quickly, when I reached out to request a quote. Forrest responded timely to all my questions and a quick turn around as I changed and revamped my design. Forrest and his team worked diligently to complete my project and were always on the job early and finished in the timeframe promised. Very professional. My deck turned out even better than I could have imagined. Friends and family love it. I would absolutely recommend this company! What a pleasure to work with these craftsmen."

"Helped me changing existing window to door, did flooring for my new sunroom, painted my kitchen ceiling and diverted my range hood vent. I can not ask for more. Done timely and professionally. And the price tells you he is a man of God! I could not upload pictures due to file size restrictions here. I highly recommend LV building solution. By the way, he can help with anything. Just reach out and ask him what you need done."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.

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.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

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.
