"I recently hired 6D Construction to build a deck for my backyard, and I'm extremely pleased with the outcome. From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, the team was professional, courteous, and attentive to detail. They took the time to listen to my needs and provided me with a detailed plan that fit my budget. The crew was skilled and efficient, and they worked tirelessly to complete the project on time. Throughout the installation, they kept me informed of their progress and were willing to make any necessary changes to ensure my satisfaction. The final result was a beautiful, sturdy deck that exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend 6D Construction for any deck project, and I look forward to working with them again in the future."

"Mack Rubio does fantastic woodwork. He and Juri responded within minutes of my request for new porch stairs and railings, as well as replacement of rotted fascia and siding. His work is solid, fast, and precise. Excellent skill and craftsmanship. His estimates are affordable and his team are always punctual and professional. This is my first home purchase and it is a fixer-upper, so I will definitely be calling Mack again for assistance with all of our home improvement projects. I highly recommend Handy Mack for all home repairs and renovations!"

"I hired for electrical, masonry, gutters, waterproofing, grouting, painting, spackling, Roofing, plumbing. Every single job was done to 100% perfection. They are meticulous and very clean. They leave and clean up perfectly. That best attribute is the knowledge and thought into planning and completing a project. They carefully assess and even provide before and after photos. They also know when a project is outside the scope of their expertise, they will refer you to a more specialized firm."

"Excellent service. Received a fair estimate from Brians, who arrived on time and was very thorough in his description of what work would have to be done . It was a slight challenge getting the appointment made because of my work schedule, but Brians worked with me to get a good date. His crew arrived on time, kept me informed during the job and left the place spotless. I fully recommend Brians Contractor Corp. for all of your roofing needs. Be careful though to make sure you are getting Brians Contractor Corp. You donâ t want anyone on your roof but these guys. Thank you Brians Contractor Corp.!!"

"Hugo's work was impeccable. His fee was fair, his work was beautiful, and he cleaned up completely. He had a problem with Zelle, not his fault, to clear the deposit. But he himself was totally professional. I've already recommended him to my building super for other jobs."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.

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. 

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

Yes, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.

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.
