"Ron and his crew did a wonderful job installing my new shed. He came by and showed us his work and was very friendly as we negotiated a deal. His installation was great and he followed up to make sure everything was 100% the way we wanted it. I highly recommend this company for any home installation or repair needs. Just call Ron the owner and you will be glad that you did."

Customers say: True professional

"Flavio is very professional. His work ethic is amazing and his quality of work shines brightly. My project was to build a new deck in my back yard. Flavio did an amazing job which was neat and tidy and reflect his carpentry skills. He started it on time and finished on time. It is absolutely beautiful and I cannot wait for summer to start entertaining on my beautiful deck. Another project he did was to paint/stain my entire back fence to complement the new deck. I highly recommend Flavio and his team to anyone . He is a man of integrity and honesty and I will continue to use him for all my projects large or small."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

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.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.
