"They tore down the old deck completely and rebuilt a new deck with treated wood. All of them were very nice and respectful. They did exactly what we wanted and even went so far as to clean the deck, put lawn furniture and plants back on the deck. We were very satisfied. We would hire them again for any other jobs we need done."

"Justin is superior in his work, very meticulous. He was there when he said he would be, and very easy to get a hold of. Very honest guy, I left my home in his care without a worry . Everything was done beautifully and if he had an issue he goes over it with you explaining it in detail. Lea , Justinâ s wife can handle the cabinet design working with the kitchen design center, this made the process go smoothly as she handled most interactions with them. She did her own drawings with Auto Cad and was able to guide us through the right kitchen for our needs. She made the design process flow so smoothly. If you are building a new home or just needing an upgrade like we did, I would highly recommend Justin and also adding Leaâ s service, when you do. You will not be disappointed."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.

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.

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.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.
