"Ed repaired the staircase newel posts, balusters and railings taking great care to preserve the wood finishes. He was able identify the carpentry errors and safety issues in the work left undone by the previous contractor. Without disparaging the previous contractor, he professionally pointed out what needed to be done and provided detailed steps to complete the project with a timeline for completion. All work was completed as described. We are very impressed with Ed?s carpentry work, attention to safety details and the cost of the project which was done in 2 days. We definitely recommend him if you looking for a personable professional!"

"Roger is communicative, efficient, knowledgeable, and thorough. He completed a large-scale renovation in my living room and dining rooms, tearing down old plaster walls and ceiling, installing new drywall, canned lighting, new flooring, and trim. He kept me informed throughout the project. I highly recommend Nickel City Repair and look forward to having Roger back for the next project."

"We just had Scarpone and Sons replace our roof in the middle of winter!! They chose the perfect day to rip off the existing roof and replace it in a little over a day. Lucky for us it stopped snowing just long enough for them to do what they do. They were efficient, fast, and did an excellent job. The roof no longer leaks and we are so happy! I highly recommend them to do YOUR roof. In fact we recommended them to a couple that were thinking of replacing their roof."

"Nick was very professional and knowledgeable. He was able to answer all of my questions and also made some great suggestions that I didn’t even think of. He was able to get my project done faster than anyone else I checked out and the finished chairs look amazing. I am very happy with the entire experience and can’t wait to show off my new chairs!"

"I contacted AAA Home Improvement to resolve a problem with squirrels and birds building nests in my soffit located on the second story. Squirrels chewed their way in the side soffit and corner post. Access was extremely difficult for repair. Scott’s crew Keith and Ray remedied the situation sealing access and replaced the corner sliding post. They also worked magic replacing older siding on my home that had been damaged with multiple screw holes. Mixing and matching old and new siding was a challenge but Keith and Ray accomplished the impossible with professional wisdom and expertise. If you have a sliding job or soffit issues I would highly recommend contacting AAA Home Improvement (Scott) to resolve your issue or project."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet.
