"Moe is awesome. He does a really good job every time. Moe has hung my mirrors, art, painted the bathroom, my kitchen. He is efficient, precise and works well with me and my specific requirements and wishlist. Very friendly. I refer to Moe as Moe, The Contractor, but selection wasn't an option. I highly recommend Moe."

"SwiftBuild Construction replaced my roof and gutters as well as repaired some exterior woodwork. The experience was professional, no new upcharges came up that were not discussed at the time of the contract, if some issues were found they completed the work without any adjustments to the price. The site was cleaned up completely, their supervisors were on site all the time to answer any questions. Prices were competitive and the work schedule was followed closely. Completely satisfied."

Customers say: True professional

"We hired Daler to install a ceiling mounted video projector and projections screen. We had planned ways of ensuring that the items were hung securely, but he came in with some better ideas about how to accomplish what we wanted much more elegantly and securely. He did good work, and was well worth the cost."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Homeowners can increase the usefulness of their garage space in other ways, and one option is to extend the length of the garage by making it deeper. The process is similar to traditional garage extensions, but the end product is a garage with a different layout rather than additional parking spaces. 

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.
