"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."

"We found REA Pro through positive reviews online. Jaime Rea was one of several contractors we interviewed. He is very prompt, energetic, and an excellent communicator. After an initial phone call and site visit, Jaime provided the estimate within a couple of days. The project – which included renovating 5 decks, repairing siding, and painting the exterior of the house – was started on time and completed within Jaime’s time estimate. His crew was very professional and personable and a pleasure to work with. We were really impressed with the quality of the work and their attention to detail. We are very happy with the final result, and would hire Jaime and his crew again for other projects."

"Led contacted me right away and came to my house the next day to review the work. My 25 year old mahogany deck had seen better days, and was in need of refreshing. Led and his man hammered every nail flush, sanded the entire 500 sq/ft deck and then power washed it to remove all of the "dust" from the sanding. They did a great job, worked hard and cleaned up perfectly afterwards. I would hire him again for any deck, roof, siding or any general carpentry work."

"Being a retired carpenter, I'm very picky when it comes to hiring out work on my home. It's hard to find someone with the knowledge required who is willing to put in the time to do a job properly. Luan put the time in and does very nice, clean work. I would definitely hire him again. Very nice guy as well!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

Yes, using certified lumber and engineered wood products for reduced environmental impact.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

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.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.
