"My husband and I were very pleased with this company. They gave us a fair price and did an excellent job at restoring our aging deck by first pressure washing it and then applying a high quality paint. We were able to select the color we wanted from a variety of colors. This father and son team were very easy to work with, answered any questions and work in a highly professional manner. We would highly recommend them to others."

"Tim was prompt, professional & listened to my questions and answered my questions patiently. His knowledge of materials and costs helped me get this project done well & in my spending plan too. My decks are now in great shape, look better than they have for some time, since Dominion’s very skilled crew replaced worn decking and stained the deck and railings. Our family can really enjoy this special part of our home for years to come now!"

"We hired Steel Penn to build a new deck off the kitchen of our home. From the very beginning they were in contact with us every step of the way. Amber and Fred answered all of my many questions and helped us feel at ease through the entire project. The workers were always there on time, cleaned up and the deck came out great! We also had our sliding doors replaced. The workers noticed a problem with them before they even opened up the package. We had them replaced and once we received the new set they came right out to replace them. I can't say enough great things about Steel Penn and would recommend them to everyone!"

"We needed fascia boards replaced on our two-story log home. Many of the boards were inaccessible without bringing in a cherry-picker. We used Boral brand TruExterior® Siding & Trim which was expensive but rot-resistant and, I hope, resistant to carpenter bees. At Joe's suggestion, to save money we pre-painted the boards ourselves. The work was excellent. Joe and his partner personally did the job plus a helper. They were very professional, promptly showed up when promised, worked a long day. Joe was very responsive and gave us a written quote the same day he came to do the estimate. They did a good clean-up. We thought they were a bit expensive but their work was top-notch. We would be happy to hire them again."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

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.
