"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 and his team are awesome. My front porch was beginning to sag on one corner and it was causing my vinyl siding to bow out. My home also needed to be pressure washed. Mack is very knowledgeable and he got his level out and showed me that the left side of my porch was two inches lower than the right side. I knew my left column was rotting but I was not sure about the wooden supports I could not see beneath the decking boards. Mack assessed the situation and advised pouring concrete footers and replacing only the columns and supports that needed to be replaced on the porch. His quote was very reasonable and I didn't hesitate to give Handymack Services the work. Mack and his team were on time, got right to work, and I was truly amazed at all that got accomplished while I was at work. When I got home, Mack took the time to explain what remained to be done and his schedule for finishing the project. Mack's work is quality and he stated more than once that he wanted to make sure I was happy. Honestly, I am way beyond happy because I have never contracted with anyone who has been as thorough, nor who worked as quickly as Mack. My porch looks great, my siding is no longer bowed out, and the pressure washing made my twelve year old siding look new. I was so impressed I immediately hired him to repair a door frame, stain my back deck, and replace warped deck boards. I will definitely be giving Handymack Services my business in the future because they value me as a customer and I value their honesty, promptness, and attention to detail."

"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

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

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.

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.

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