"Dan recently finished an addition for us and re-sided our whole house. We could not be happier with the work he and his crew did for us! Dan came highly recommended by our structural engineer and his quote was very fair. He stopped by the house several times before construction began to talk over what we wanted and each time he had really creative insights about how to make the space really work for what we needed. Dan and his crew were both professional, knowledgeable, and really friendly. They consistently went above and beyond during construction. On top of doing the job they were hired for (addition and siding), they also updated the electricity in our kitchen, created a walk-in closet, and installed a new exterior door in our garage. When issues came up and we had to change our plans a bit, Dan came up with a creative solution and did not charge any more than the original quote. We will wholeheartedly recommend him to any of our family and friends who need work done!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

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.

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.
