"Deck and Fence Contracting rebuilt our pool deck with modern, comfortable benches and replaced our backyard fence. The results are amazing, our yard feels like a relaxing retreat. The quality exceeded our expectations, and the price was well worth it. Even our neighbor hired them after seeing the transformation!"

Customers say: Quick response

"First I was planning to power-wash and stain the deck, but Orlando talked me into power-wash the whole house and paint as well. The price was reasonable. Even though the work was postponed due to the rain, Orlando called and emailed constantly to give me their schedule. They exchanged the top part of the deck and repaired here and there, and I find their carpentry skills are excellent. I definitely will ask him to do something around the house in the future."

"I recently hired 6D Construction to build a deck for my backyard, and I'm extremely pleased with the outcome. From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, the team was professional, courteous, and attentive to detail. They took the time to listen to my needs and provided me with a detailed plan that fit my budget. The crew was skilled and efficient, and they worked tirelessly to complete the project on time. Throughout the installation, they kept me informed of their progress and were willing to make any necessary changes to ensure my satisfaction. The final result was a beautiful, sturdy deck that exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend 6D Construction for any deck project, and I look forward to working with them again in the future."

"Arrived on time. Job was done within the time frame quoted. The Finish looks perfect. I am so excited about my roofing replacement I did just now! When I first bought the house two years ago, I had absolutely no idea what needed to be removed and replaced, but Elite work home improvement made it happen with no fuss or muss."

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.

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

The cost to convert a carport into a garage averages about $22,000, ranging from about $15,000 and $55,000. Additional cost factors to consider include size, time of year, and how much of the carport you can reuse. Other cost factors include the kinds and amounts of materials used, such as:

  • Add insulation: $1 per square foot

  • Add drywall: $1–$3 per square foot

  • Add window: $450–$2,000 per window

  • Add outlets: $75–$500

  • Add garage door: $250–$11,200

  • Enclose framing: $5–$13 per square foot

  • Replace roofing: $1,000–$2,000

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.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.
