"What an amazing job Mike and his crews did for us. He install a gorgeous 10X20 new deck with stair. We were amazed about how professional and knowledgeable Mike is. I would recommend Prime Construction in a blink of an eye to anyone looking to re-do or install a new deck. Thank you Mike."

"I cannot recommend Sullivan Tile and Home Improvement highly enough! We have used Sullivan Tile and Home Improvement for two separate projects at our house now, and their quality and professionalism are consistently outstanding. We worked directly with Phil, and he is truly amazing. From the moment we started, the entire experience was stress-free due to his great communication. He was always clear, timely, and professional, ensuring we were aligned every step of the way. Phil's attention to detail is remarkable. He approached the project with the precision of a true craftsman, ensuring every cut, layout, and grout line was perfect. The amazing quality of the final work exceeded all of our expectations—it is absolutely stunning. I have already recommended Phil and Sullivan Tile and Home Improvement to several friends who are planning renovations. If you are looking for top-tier, reliable, and detailed home improvement, look forward to working with Phil. Highly recommend Sullivan"

"Mr. Toye was a real lifesaver. He showed up right when he said and he was easy to contact about scheduling and other questions. I needed some weird problems solved at the house I just bought and everything was expertly done! Dan's rate was very fair and I already have plans for him to do more work soon!"

"I hired John (Carpenter) to do some small tasks on my Mom’s House. His work was great. I asked if he could take on more work for us. He removed the old tile, linoleum and cabinets, and installed new. My Mother and I are very pleased. I would definitely recommend John."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

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. 

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.
