"Norb does really nice tile work. He is pretty meticulous. I would definitely recommend him and hire him again. He was quick to return our call, came over to look at the job soon after and gave us a price. He was flexible and worked with our other contractors on timing. When he says he is going to be there, (unlike other contractors we have used) he ACTUALLY shows up. My husband's only complaint is that he should use his own shop-vac. He didn't clean out the filter when he was done and it was really a mess - small issue - but otherwise a really nice job."

"We hired Derek to replace some boards on our upper deck and repair where needed the wooden fence around our pool. Derek arrived exactly on time, worked until sunset, got both jobs done and carefully cleaned up both spaces and took all the debris away. His workmanship is outstanding, he is polite, skilled and very professional. We can recommend Derek without reservation."

"????? After another company came in and completely messed up our deck project, we were frustrated and unsure who to trust. Thankfully, we called Modern Building & Contracting, and honestly, we only wish we had found them first! James and Mike came out, listened to our concerns, and immediately put us at ease. From start to finish, they were professional, knowledgeable, and committed to doing the job right. The quality of their workmanship exceeded our expectations, and the finished deck turned out absolutely beautiful. My family and I couldn?t be happier with the results. It?s clear that they take pride in their work and truly care about their customers. If you?re looking for a reliable contractor who delivers quality craftsmanship and excellent customer service, we highly recommend Modern Building & Contracting. Thank you again, James and Mike?we love our new deck!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.

Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.

Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.
