"I initially wanted to have a deck built but then after all the bids came in, I changed my mind and decided to build a garage instead. Deck Doctors kept right up with the change. After I accepted their bid, they started shortly after. Great guys to work with. They do good work."

"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!"

"David and his team were great, very friendly and professional. We discovered some rain damage while working on the balcony deck and David was very fair in pricing the additional work and not holding my feet to the fire. I would highly recommend Presley and in fact, already have to a friend"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

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.

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.

Yes, using certified lumber and engineered wood products for reduced environmental impact.
