"Artie was exceptionally professional and knowledgeable in a vast array of services. Artie worked for me for over 7 years preforming tasks that varied from converting a small shed to a luxury air bnb, remodeling apartment buildings, restructuring and replacing a large porch, installing washer and dryers as well as dishwashers, and various small home projects. Artie was always punctual and reliable. He completed all jobs in a timely and effective manner. He also fixed projects that were done improperly by other contractors. I also found him to be cost effective in every way. Saving myself time, money, and energy upon every job that I hired him for. Artie still works for me to this day. Heâ s my go to for just about anything and everything!"

"My husband and I hired Darlcom, LLC Carpentry to remodeled our air BnB. Not only did they do a beautiful job, but I really appreciated the great communication we received as well. We had walls removed, new wood floors installed, and a farm sink with a butcher-block counter top put in. They even installed floating shelves. Keith and Steven Darling, and their workers did a truly amazing job, and I am thankful for all they did. These guys have my full recommendation to anyone who needs a well-rounded company!!"

Customers say: True professional

"I called Brian to get an estimate on my motherâ s deck railing repair and received a call back within minutes. Brian took the time to schedule an onsite meeting and provided her with a fair estimate and date to start the work. He began the work on time, as scheduled, and provided her with his expert finish carpenter named Josh. Josh completed the railings and replaced the deteriorated steps in a professional and expertise manner. We highly recommend Brian and his crews for any deck and railings repairs. They did such an excellent job that my mother also had him do a total remodel of her bathroom, which has just been completed. Brian offered suggestions for the remodel, which she went with and is extremely satisfied with the finished product. We highly recommend Brian Morris for all your Deck, Bathroom, and ANY remodeling needs. He is an honest and trustworthy Craftsman, which is hard to find these days. We look forward to having Brian work on our next project very soon."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.
