"Anton was easy to work with. Sent email on a Sunday. He called in five minutes and came that afternoon to look at the job. Replaced baseboard in four bedrooms and repaired a hole in the ceiling. All work was completed in two days starting that Monday. The carpenter that did the baseboards (I think his name is John) was great, neat and did a wonderful job. I will definately call Anton again.

"Chriss Construction replaced our roof after having extensive wind damage. Christian worked with our insurance company adjuster. I was very impressed with him as a manger and a coordinator of this project. Also, his administrative support team, Jessica and Jeff, were magnificent. They were able to get it done within a couple of weeks of filing our claim. I had concerns about the weather and daylight savings time, but Christian assured me of the timeline and weather restrictions. His team of roofers were amazing, they worked their butts off and basically did it in one day. The day they did it was cold, too. They returned the next day to check the roof and the property for debris since they finished as it was getting dark. I was impressed with the final ?Roof Work Report? of the whole project with detailed photos from start to finish. This report is a professional tool to have in your homeowner documents file. I would definitely recommend this company."

"Goni and his wife painted my entire house: interior, exterior and deck. I didn't have to wait weeks for them to be available, their prices are very competitive and they showed up to work every day when they said they would. They did a great job. If I ever had another painting job in the area, I would hire them again."

"Juan and his skilled roofers found the source of the issue and were able to seal the area to prevent any more issues. Juan took the time to make sure we were confident that the leak was resolved. After the job was done, the 3 roofers had spent time cleaning and making sure the driveway was clear of any nails that could affect us in the future. They did a wonderful job! I would recommend Stormwise Roofing for the best price and quality workmanship."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

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.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.

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.
