"Artie is excellent. He has done multiple projects for me from building shelves, to repairing the deck, painting, and residing the garage. He knows what he’s doing, can provide clear options and guidance, and is fairly priced. He’s also a delightful human being."

"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

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

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.

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.
