"Deck and Fence Contracting Inc. built an amazing deck around our pool, complete with a pergola, built-in benches, flower boxes, and cable railing. The craftsmanship and attention to detail were outstanding. The team was professional and easy to work with, and the final result exceeded our expectations. Great contractor to work with. Highly recommend!"

"I hired Tim to fix a banister and put up various shelving and picture frames in my home. He was prompt, easy to work with and did a fantastic job. His prices were very fair and reasonable for the excellent work that he did and I will be sure to hire him in the future for any upcoming projects."

"Miguel was on time, conscientious, and did great work. They didn't nickel-and-dime, and it seemed like a very reasonable price compared to other contractors. I was very happy and would hire Rivertowns again for roofing work, and would recommend them to others without reservation."

Customers say: Quick response

"First I was planning to power-wash and stain the deck, but Orlando talked me into power-wash the whole house and paint as well. The price was reasonable. Even though the work was postponed due to the rain, Orlando called and emailed constantly to give me their schedule. They exchanged the top part of the deck and repaired here and there, and I find their carpentry skills are excellent. I definitely will ask him to do something around the house in the future."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

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

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.

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.
