"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."

"John and his crew were extremely professional and communicated very well. The decks and fencing quality were excellent. Pricing was very fair and allowed us to have some things within our budget that we would've had to go without with most other companies. We fully recommend Coastal Built Construction."

"Had a problem with one of our pocket doors. Kyle arrived as scheduled and showed me how the problem was not with the pocket door track but with the door itself. He was able to solve the problem and made sure that the door worked properly before he left. I think it took him about 45 minutes maybe an hour as the door is heavy. I have added him into my phone in case I have some other jobs for him. I would recommend him. Nice guy."

"Presley contracting did an amazing job building steps that connected to our back porch. They were timely and professional and answered all questions about the project. They quickly and courteously corrected one minor error and the final product exceeded our expectations. I would 100% hire them again for my next project."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.

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. 

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.

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.

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.
