"Honestly, I would give Henry six star if I could! From start to finish he was very professional. First he matched the price of another contractor, saving me hundreds of dollars. Next, they arrived as they promised, and third, they finished the job ahead of schedule. Absolutely impressed! Allison"

"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!!"

"Wanted to remove metal spiral staircase for a wooden built-in custom look. I had a picture in my head on what I wanted and the look. Doug made that come to life. A Solid and rustic look is what I wanted and that's what I got, so much better than the metal staircase. Without a doubt a pure craftsmanship. If your in the market for a staircase, look no further, Doug at Prosperity Stairs & Rails, Inc is the man for the job. Steve L."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

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.

Professionals charge between $60 and $95 per hour to install ornamental porch columns. The amount of time they need varies based on the condition of the porch, whether they need to remove old columns, and if there is any damage to your porch's structure. This cost can increase if more issues come up during the installation process.

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.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them.
