"Joe Woods and Just Right Carpentry did a superb job building our new deck. They were responsive, kind, and easy to work with. In addition to building a beautiful deck at a reasonable price, they left everything neat and clean after they left. They went above and beyond and I will certainly use their services again."

"John and his team did an excellent job on our deck! We had our old deck torn down and a Trex composite deck built on the existing frame. The deck is seamless and perfect and 100% better than our old deck! John and his team had it built in 2 days and their price was more than reasonable. Some other companies out there quoted me OVER double (The Deck Guy, Decks Unique, etc.) The owners of these OTHER companies pride themselves on 30+ years in business but when you ask them if they will personally be building your deck or even on site for the build, they canâ t give you a straight answer because theyâ re so â busy.â Skip over those other companies and hire John and his team because he will personally be working on your deck and overseeing everything his team does as well! I honestly couldnâ t be happier and I am recommending him to all my friends and family!"

"Tom was really great to work with. I requested an estimate for repairs to the vinyl siding on my house. He responded to my request for an estimate immediately and was even willing to inspect the damage and give an estimate on Christmas Eve. His price was more than reasonable and he came back and completed the repair within a few days. His work was beautiful and he meticulously cleaned up my yard once he was finished. I highly recommend Skyline and will absolutely use them again."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

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.

Homeowners can increase the usefulness of their garage space in other ways, and one option is to extend the length of the garage by making it deeper. The process is similar to traditional garage extensions, but the end product is a garage with a different layout rather than additional parking spaces. 

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.
