"We can not say enough about Deck Doctors. Professional, was here to work full days and into the evenings. Had ideas we may not thought about. Don't hesitate, hire them. We had them do our back deck and having them give us a bid for our front deck."

"Eddie is an extremely talented carpenter. His work is beautiful and I would definitely hire him again. I had a complicated stair remodel. My house was built in 1985, and the staircase was the last major project that needed to be tackled. Eddie not only responded to my request immediately, he was very enthusiastic and confident about how he would tackle the staircase. He is detail-oriented and very meticulous. I have ZERO complaints about the finished product, he exceeded my expectations. CONS - Original timeline was not met. and he only works during the hours his kids are in school.. Patience pays off though, and his work is well worth any time delays."

"I was thoroughly impressed with the guys at Husker Deck. They have real pride in what they do and a work ethic that makes them standout. I met with three other deck building companies before selecting Husker Deck. I chose them because their bid was competitive, they were eager to work with me, not just â  sellâ  me a deck, and I worked with the guy that would be building my deck, not the company rep that couldnâ  t build a birdhouse. I lost count of the number of times they checked in with me to update me on their progress and to make sure Iâ  d be happy with the deck. Do yourself a favor and make sure they bid on your work. Youâ  re unlikely to find another company as focused on making sure youâ  re happy with the project and are as easy to work with."

"Javier and his crew removed a wood retaining wall in the back and replaced it. They also installed a 5 feet deep 49 feet long garden and backfilled it with planting soil. I called them after the first week to add additional backfill behind and to take the new retaining wall and they responded they would do it within a few days. The summer was dry, so, no additional settling occurred... until late summer when we received a major rainfall. All the voids collapsed and the back of the wall showed significant settling. I sent several emails and called Javier. He said he would be there on Saturday, he never showed. It looks like I am going to purchase my own soil to backfill the settling. I am very unhappy with the lack of customer service, especially since I paid them immodestly, once the job was complete."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

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.

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

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.

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.
