"Excellent service! We have used Finish Line 3 different times now and we have always been highly satisfied with their work. They replaced our entire house roof and did an excellent job, they  installed a rubber roof over our deck, and they did the same at our son's house. We trust them and highly recommend them!"

"The owner, Willis, called immediately to come to the house to give a quote. He said because it was a small job, so he would fit it in when he's working in the area. And that's what happened. He called one day to be sure we'd be home. He came and did the deck repairs in 2 hours. We were extremely satisfied with the arrangement and with the outcome. Willis did more than he originally thought, but stayed with the original estimate. He was polite and respectful of our property."

"Andy and crew did a fantastic job. They went above and beyond by rounding off edges of the top rail and sanding them smooth. I felt like that was a nice extra touch. Andy even called me iwhen he got started to let me know that the wood species of a corner post didnâ t match. Great communication!"

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.

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

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.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.
