"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

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

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.
