"We were very happy with Addison Orr’s work. We admire his work ethic. This was a big job taking over a week and he showed up on time or early each day. He’s a very hard worker and worked long hours even when the weather was very cold and windy. We highly recommend him and will be hiring him in the future for more projects."

"We hired Juan to build outdoor privacy shutters for our patio to give us privacy on the patio. Juan was professional and very knowledgeable in his field of construction, keeping me informed throughout the entire process. He does excellent work, is very organized, and the pricing is very reasonable. Juan took care of ordering all of the Trex composite wood, brackets, and hardware to build the outdoor shutters. We couldn't be happier with the completed project and will definitely use his company in the future for further projects."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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. 

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.
