"We reached out to Dorner Decking for a second deck that we had built. He and his crew had built the first one that attached to our pool and we were very pleased how it turned out. We wanted to build another off of our second floor overlooking the backyard. It wasn't even a question on who we were going to contact. They did another outstanding job and I would not hesitate to hire again."

"I was very pleased with this company and the work they did removing heavy snow and ice from my roof. The owner contacted me immediately upon my initial call and showed up when he said he would which is rare today. Furthermore, he explained a couple options on how the job could be done and once that was decided, his crew went to town to complete it. They were efficient, professional and thorough in handling the job safely. Thank you Nickel City Property Management for a job well done."

"Nick was very professional and knowledgeable. He was able to answer all of my questions and also made some great suggestions that I didn’t even think of. He was able to get my project done faster than anyone else I checked out and the finished chairs look amazing. I am very happy with the entire experience and can’t wait to show off my new chairs!"

"After purchasing an Angie's List Deal, I received the measuring kit in the mail promptly. The template and instructions provided to draw my split table top and each of the leaves were easy to use and understand. I mailed the completed materials and received the table pads very quickly. The table splits in the middle to allow insertion of up to 3 additional leaves. The table also has 2 drop leaves. That's 7 pads. All fit perfectly. I have used them on the table for family parties (not every day) and they're durable and built to last. I keep them in the box they arrived in to protect them when not in use. These are a worthwhile investment."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.
