"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."

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

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. 

The cost to convert a carport into a garage averages about $22,000, ranging from about $15,000 and $55,000. Additional cost factors to consider include size, time of year, and how much of the carport you can reuse. Other cost factors include the kinds and amounts of materials used, such as:

  • Add insulation: $1 per square foot

  • Add drywall: $1–$3 per square foot

  • Add window: $450–$2,000 per window

  • Add outlets: $75–$500

  • Add garage door: $250–$11,200

  • Enclose framing: $5–$13 per square foot

  • Replace roofing: $1,000–$2,000

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. 

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.

Yes, professionals can install new frames, trim, and threshold adjustments for a complete finish.
