"We had previously hired someone else who built such a poorly constructed deck that it needed to be taken down completely and rebuilt properly. This was our first time hiring for a project because my husband had always done things himself but is no longer able to since he is disabled. The experience was very bad to say the least. We then got 4 estimates to rebuild the deck properly and chose SD Construction based on the professionalism Sunil showed as he explained what was wrong and how it should be done. In addition he was so genuinely kind and sympathetic about our circumstances, and gave us a very fair price. Sunil and everyone else on his crew were amazing throughout the process. They were friendly and professional and take such pride in their work. They truly want to make every customer as happy as is possible. Our finished deck is so beautiful and well built. They exceeded our expectations and turned what had been an awful experience into a wonderful, positive experience. I wish I could give them more than a 5 star rating. I can't recommend them strongly enough! We will definitely call them again for any future projects."

"Aldin was a pleasure to work with. I had entire inside of our home painted. The project is was completed when promised. Whenever I had a question or concern, Aldin answered and put my mind at ease. He went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. Such a good feeling to hire someone to do a job and feel completely satisfied when complete. Will be hiring him again for a few future projects we have."

"I hired Paul to build and install built-in bookshelves in a bedroom and to convert an old built-in ironing board in my kitchen into a spice cabinet. He did a beautiful job on both projects and I could not be happier with the work! Paul was professional, flexible with scheduling, and very time-efficient with installation. I would recommend Paul without reservation!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

Professionals charge between $60 and $95 per hour to install ornamental porch columns. The amount of time they need varies based on the condition of the porch, whether they need to remove old columns, and if there is any damage to your porch's structure. This cost can increase if more issues come up during the installation process.

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.
