"Joe really communicated with all the contractors really well. Our patio turned out unbelievable, with the colors and border that Joe helped us pick to match the house. The guys that did the screen in were awesome too. Definitely we would recommend. We are very happy."

"Honestly, I cannot possibly imagine any contractor as professional and detail oriented as Bray Builders. Their attention to detail and stern refusal to compromise on quality is outstanding and their design ideas are mind-blowing. In short, this is one contractor that you will never regret hiring."

"Joe Everette is the absolute best in the business. He is a master at keeping on time and on budget, while providing top quality work and materials. He does not cut corners, he is particular with every detail. We honestly have no complaints at all. We are so happy with our new home which is in the last week or so of construction. We give him 100% + grade AA for an awesome job. No matter how many times we bug him he never acts irritated or like he does not have time for us. If you want top quality, he's your guy!"

"My first review was done on 4/1/14.  Since then we have contacted Chuck to get some minor repairs completed.  We also had an issue with the room settling and creating cracks in the walls and ceiling.  We have made several attempts to get them to come out and complete our job.  We were told that they have a 10 Year warranty.  They give us a date to come and work on completing open issues and do not show and do not call.  This has happend more than 6 times in the past year.  This is very frustsrating because I have been required to work 7 days a week and i have several others tasks to complete on my off time besides waiting for someone that will not call or show.

"Their estimate was the best out of 3 contractors. They did a great job with attention to detail. 
They were very professional, unrushed and highly skilled.
It took about two full days of work.

Unfinished 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.

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.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

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.

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.
