"Great people and a great company. Explained step by step the process they were going to take to build a pool deck. Each step was inspected and passed on the first attempt. All the workers were professional and courteous. I always like to see the owner, Joe, out there working on the job and not handing off the work to someone else. They went above and beyond what they needed to do by helping me attach a pool ladder to my deck, after hours and on a hot day. Unfortunately, they told my wife that they also remodel kitchens. Now, that's all she talks about. I would absolutely use this company again."

"Mike and crew(Mike Jr lol, Anthony and Andrew). What can I say? Not enough. The moment these guys showed up they displayed a polished level of professionalism and work ethic. Not to mention that their just one **** of a bunch of great guys. Extraordinarly courteous and respectful. They didnt waste any time on day one tearing the old deck down. And, man, are these guys neat and organized. They got right into building our new deck, which took only a few days. These guys even worked through the rain. The finished deck was beyond my and my wife's expectations. Very impressive. Mike the boss led the charge. We knew from the moment we met him, that this man knows his craft, and knows it well. We had checked out two other companies prior, but there was something not quite right. Too expensive and too many loopholes. We were left more confused and disappointed than before we started. Mike, on the other hand, clarified everything. Everything was transparent. He laid out what we were going to get, and the price was absolutely fair. No strings attached, which was the impression we were getting from the other guys. And Mike seems to have all the bases covered when it comes to home improvement. He did some electrical work for us, even while the deck was being built. We are already discussing other projects around our home that need to be taken care of. At this point, there is no need to even look anywhere else. Mike does it all. We already recommended him out to friends and family, and we highly recommend him to you. 10 stars!!"

"It is an absolute pleasure to work with them. We recently painted the new building of our project and all the doors of the building. Swifthand Painting Company sent their team on time and quickly inspected the building and did a great job. We are glad to have found them! We will use Swifthand Painting again in the future."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.

You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.

Enhances property value, ensures safety, and provides a sound basis for future construction.

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.
