"Awesome work! We had a very challenging project involving the complete demolition of the large existing deck and replacement, from the existing cement piers up, with new supports, a new composite deck, and steel cable railings topped with composite hand rails. All of this was done working on a steep hill with very little level ground. We felt that Nick treated the project as though he was working on his own home. A lot of thought and care went into everything that he did, including notching the supporting posts and adding diagonals underneath the deck for stability, always above and beyond what other contractors would do. The fit and finish is flawless. We are very proud and pleased with our new and improved deck and we will spend as much as time as we can out there with our feet up enjoying the view."

"Zac pressure-washed my house, my front porch, and my sidewalk. He came to my house the week prior to the work to review what was needed; he then sent me a contract, explaining in detail what he recommended. On Monday, when Zac did the pressure-washing, it was brutally hot, in my opinion, yet he did the work, and it was superb! When I got home from my job, I circled my house twice, smiling with each step, as I reviewed the quality of his work. I certainly recommend Zac and Stick's."

"I can’t express how grateful my family and I are for Matt and his company. Hurricane Helene caused catastrophic damage to our house and property. The storm caused the back side of our house to almost wash away and flooded our entire down stairs finished basement. We called Matt and his company and they were out within a day to look at the damage. He gave us an extremely fair quote. The following day before we even cut him a check. He had his crew out at our property and the back side of our house up on jacks. The communication was outstanding!! They were able to get the back side of my house Jacked back up and back on properly placed posts. They also were able to help replace and redo my finished basement and some damaged plumbing . We had been wanting to add an extra room for one of our boys for a while and didn’t have the know how or financial means. Matt went ahead and built us the extra bedroom, and only charged us building supply costs.. The bedroom came out beautiful and was better than we could have ever expected . During this time FEMA and insurance were and have been of very little financial help. This project almost completely came out of my own pocket. They did the work as asked and then went a step above to do the work before, I was able to completely pay them. They never hounded us for money and were completely sympathetic and understanding to our situation. I wish every company had an owner like Matt. Outstanding work, extremely fairly priced, and most of all he was extremely empathetic and didn’t seem to care about his bottom line. He only truly seemed to care about our situation and that we were happy with what work he had done for us. I can’t brag enough or be thankful enough for Matt, his company, and the quality of work that they did."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

Professionals charge between $60 and $95 per hour to install ornamental porch columns. The amount of time they need varies based on the condition of the porch, whether they need to remove old columns, and if there is any damage to your porch's structure. This cost can increase if more issues come up during the installation process.
