"Steve not only does excellent work, but is very friendly and reasonably priced. He not only replaced our existing windows and patio slider, but redid all of the interior and exterior trim as well. Everything looks beautiful, and we couldnâ t be more pleased. He explained everything before and during the process, so we knew exactly what to expect. Steve has done other work for us as well, including gutter and fascia repairs, lighting installation, and general carpentry. Heâ s truly a Jack of all trades, and I highly recommend him for any home improvement projects you might have!"

"Dan and his team did a great job repairing my collapsing deck. He used a creative approach to solve the foundation problems and he stuck with the job until it was completed. He also installed new deck boards and now the deck looks terrific."

"Zachary went above and beyond on this project. Although we were unable to source our current siding (as it is now out of production), Zachary replaced our damaged siding by using pieces from the top rear of the house and then replacing those with the closest match we could source. Came out looking good as new - and the replaced pieces are such a close match that it is almost impossible to tell the difference. Very pleased!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

You can enclose an open carport, however, there are several things to consider before opting to do so. You'll want to check local building codes and permit requirements before proceeding to make sure it’s legal. While you can sometimes stick-frame a carport enclosure, pre-fab kits are also available. Remember that you'll likely need to meet concrete slab regulations and provide lighting inside the structure. Both of which could substantially drive up costs.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.
