"This company tore down our 35 year old deck and rebuilt for us. We loved our new composite upper deck so much we hired him to deconstruct and reinforce our lower deck for a new hot tub. He also built two sets of stairs and did a beautiful job on our railings. He fit us into his schedule for pending delivery of new hot tub. His crew was great too. They also cleaned up the yard like new. His prices were fair and reasonable. We plan on hiring him for more work in the future and will always recommend. You wonâ t regret it."

"Ed repaired the staircase newel posts, balusters and railings taking great care to preserve the wood finishes. He was able identify the carpentry errors and safety issues in the work left undone by the previous contractor. Without disparaging the previous contractor, he professionally pointed out what needed to be done and provided detailed steps to complete the project with a timeline for completion. All work was completed as described. We are very impressed with Ed?s carpentry work, attention to safety details and the cost of the project which was done in 2 days. We definitely recommend him if you looking for a personable professional!"

"We just had Scarpone and Sons replace our roof in the middle of winter!! They chose the perfect day to rip off the existing roof and replace it in a little over a day. Lucky for us it stopped snowing just long enough for them to do what they do. They were efficient, fast, and did an excellent job. The roof no longer leaks and we are so happy! I highly recommend them to do YOUR roof. In fact we recommended them to a couple that were thinking of replacing their roof."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

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.

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.

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.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors.
