"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!"

"Sabino was great to work with. He was professional and thorough when initially inspecting roof. He completed a major job with tear off of layers of asphalt and cedar shingles. He installed the new roof with quality products. Most importantly he worked well with us in a honest manner when issues arose to rebuild a chimney and replace beams on a rotting porch. His prices were very reasonable. He did a solid job cleaning up the area when finished. It is never an easy experience to have an old roof torn off and replaced, but Sabino and his workers made the experience positive."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

A-frame homes are on the smaller side. While there’s no set square footage amount it has to be, it will usually come in around 1,000 square feet or smaller.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

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.

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.
