"Joe and his crew are prompt, efficient and do excellent work. We first had them build steps from our screened room to ground level so that we could then better visualize the deck portion of the overall project. The work on the steps was perfect and so we then had Joe come back to help us with the size, rails, and placement of steps to access the yard. Joe has experience that comes through when he is helping with visualizing the end product. We rate Joe and his crew with Deck Doctors with the highest rating."

"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."

"I had Amazing Renovations demolish an old deck and build back a new deck with composite decking. After getting the go ahead, Richy (Amazing Renovations) quickly coordinated the logistics. Richy was always available to answer any question we had, and he would monitor the progress and needs of the project on a daily basis. The removal of the old deck and the ordering and arrival of materials for the new deck happened in a timely manner. The personnel building the deck were professional/polite and very helpful. My wife and I were most pleased with the result of their work. Richy and his team left us with a beautiful deck that we will enjoy and cherish for many years to come. Me and my wife would highly recommend Amazing Renovations to anyone that has a similar building/renovation project in mind. Stuart A."

"My husband is no longer able to do the maintenance on our house, or advise me. There was rotting trim wood, that needed to be replaced, at the roofline of our house. I contacted Angie on a Sunday nite. The next day owner Roland called me, we met the next day. He was able to fit in the needed repairs 1 day later and take a piece of wood to the paint store to match the color. The result looks perfect!!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

It's possible to turn your carport into a living space, but there are additional factors to address over turning it into a garage. HVAC, plumbing, and electricity won't be optional, and you'll need finished flooring, drywall, trim work, and legal ceiling height, for starters. Also, keep in mind that living space conversions may require upgrading the foundation underneath, and the permits might be more expensive as well.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.
