"You'd better grab them before they're busy on another job. It's not easy to find quality people to hire. I'm not sure I have enough adjectives to describe Adam and assistant. Cheerful, friendly, efficient. Maybe the best thing is integrity. You can just tell. 😊 Did a great job on patio furniture assembly, made sure it was it was comfortable for me and that I was satisfied with the result. And the amount charged was so reasonable. Grateful to have found Elite Enclosures. Can't wait to call Adam again - have several projects around my property and am relieved that I have a reputable company to contact. Not to mention the extra customer service: my people-loving, nosy terrier was being a drama queen...he wanted to be out there - and the guys said no problem. That was certainly above and beyond my expectations! Thanks again, Adam!"

"I looked everywhere to try and find someone that could build a Murphy bed for me (I had the hardware kit) and finally, I found Chris. This has been an absolute pleasure from start to finish! The communication was excellent. We talked over what I wanted and he made it happen. He also gave me some options that allowed me to save some money which I really appreciated when material prices kept going up. He was always considerate of my time as we tried to maneuver through my continually changing work schedules, etc. Honestly, I am so thrilled and it is even better than I imagined!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.

You can enclose an open carport, however, there are several things to consider before opting to do so. You'll want to check local building codes and permit requirements before proceeding to make sure it’s legal. While you can sometimes stick-frame a carport enclosure, pre-fab kits are also available. Remember that you'll likely need to meet concrete slab regulations and provide lighting inside the structure. Both of which could substantially drive up costs.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.
