"Elder and his staff came ALWAYS on time and cleaned up afterwards. Elder's prices were very reasonable. I would hire him again for additional projects and also recommend him for work! He was very respectful and ensured we were happy with the end results!"

"Nicole and her crew did multiple projects on top of the shingle repairs, including building a whole new front porch for us. Her communication was excellent, the prices were reasonable, and all the work was completed on-time. Would highly recommend Adonai for any of your home repair and construction needs."

"Forrest and his crew were consummate professionals; they showed up when they said they would, worked all day and even cleaned up the work site each day before leaving. Their work is top shelf, and I would NOT hesitate to refer them to friends and family alike if/when projects arise. They will be our first call in future if we need additional work!!"

"From start to finish the level of communication was perfect. Russ was understanding of what I wanted for my porch and instead of trying to sell me on something different, he helped me explore what options I had to make it look its best. We replaced my rotted wood columns and railings with fir columns and aluminum railings. The job was done quickly and the end result is PERFECT."

"I had two wicker aluminum frame rocking chairs that I loved and the seats had rotted through. Cliff found a way to repair them so I could continue using the chairs and not buy new ones. He's very personable, nice, knowledgeable and professional and I appreciate he was willing to find a way to make it work even though my project was small! We definitely plan to call M&M Construction when we are ready for our large home projects!"

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

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

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.

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.

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off.
