"Lynn replaced several floor joists and added extra support beams to the floors where needed. The job took about a week as he said it may take 5-7 days this added for unforeseen problems. He cleaned work area up every evening before leaving for the day.. hauled away any debris and scrap. There were a few small added items to his list and he didn’t mind taking care of those things also."

"Customers beware! This review is for JK Custom Builders located in Arcanum OH. The Owner/Operator is also the GC/estimator. We hired this General contractor to complete a 16x30 addition onto our home. This entire project was a disaster from the start to an incomplete job. We eventually had to fire this contractor as they are incompetent and do a very poor quality of work. They failed the rough inspections due to poor framing issues and attaching the new roofing to the existing structure. The roofing that they installed was completed twice and by 2 different roofers and will still needs torn off and reinstalled. This contractor refused to complete the roof per current code requirements. They even tore off the existing chimney and tried to rebuild this due to poor planning. This will need to be reframed and rebuilt as the replacement they provided is completely out of plum and is missing the proper flashing/chimney caps. The contractor also destroyed items and would not repair and resolve issues around the property. Due to poor planning our existing basement flooded with water and mud during a rain storm. All carpet will need replaced and we have driveway that was cracked and damaged. The driveway that was damaged was not even near the home and project. The GC refused to acknowledge the damaged. This was due to where he wanted to put the temporary water closet away from the jobsite. We have all items documented and photos taken! A total review process of this company would fill a book! This GC should be avoided for any project! He will belittle you and act as though he has done nothing wrong! I wish I could post all my photo evidence within this post! I also wish I could leave ZERO STARS!"

"I had a wood deck redone in composite. They used the existing frame and were able to add to it in order to increase the overall size. Nice group of guys did the work. The cuts are very clean and the deck is solid. It looks great! I requested a change towards the end of the project that required extra labor and they worked with me on that to get the deck just how I wanted. Would use their services again."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

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.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.
