"This company provided excellent workmanship and demonstrated professionalism throughout the entire process. They went above and beyond by also installing extra accessories that I purchased for the gazebo. I would definitely recommend their service."

"ATeam did a complete kitchen remodel and treated an extensive mold problem in the basement. All the work was completed to my satisfaction and on time. I have worked with many contractors over the years but this was by far the best experience I have had. From start to finish I was kept totally informed. Mike returned all of my calls promptly and addressed my concerns. The crew was there everyday and was professional and courteous. I was very pleased with the quality of the workmanship. I would highly recommend the ATeam to anyone planning a constuction job. They are the best!"

"Contractor came on time. It was a very friendly person. The work was done on time .... my only complaint was that after the job he did not clean very well the area close to the A/C and furnace; and, the area outside the drier vent. Apparently, the work at my home took more than the time window scheduled for it."

"They did an exceptional job.  From start to finish I was completely impressed with Chris.  They did a phenomenal job and in labor I paid less than $2000 to do the work.  They started approximately on January 23rd.  Chris is coming back in August to build me a bathroom down here and he's also going to close off my laundry room.  I spent less than $2000 in labor only and that has nothing to do with the materials.  I wanted to buy my own material because I wanted to get my gas free."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.

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.

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.

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.

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.
