"I donâ t as in a time crunch. My house was closing in just a couple of days and there was a repair that had been started by someone else, but not finished - it needed to be finished ASAP. Russ came to my rescue! He responded to my request quickly. Explained his process and exactly what I needed to complete the repair correctly without having to spend too much money. I found him kind, trustworthy, reliable, and very knowledgeable - and willing to explain exactly what he was doing!"

"We needed a complete rebuild of our decks. (there were two ) and we contacted Rick’s Custom Fencing and Decking. We really appreciated Rick’s ability to change a somewhat complicated process into something that actually became a fun project. Miguel, Lane and Josiah were the builders and they were outstanding craftsmen."

"Home projects, no matter the type, will have hiccups. What makes a company special is how they handle those hiccups. John and Matthew handle every issue with integrity and sincerity and willingly coached me through the questions I had throughout my projects, even providing welcomed design ideas. Once the project was complete I brought them back to do a few more things and they made the time for me. I can easily recommend these fine gentleman."

"Our two-story home was in dire need of exterior painting and weather damage repairs. Elite Enclosures team is skilled and responsible, polite, positive and efficient. Adam Martin strives to communicate with us, so that we have full understanding of the project. The crew are polite, friendly and good humored, but constantly working. The weather damage required a new man-door frame installation and the double garage door needed dry rot removal and mold removal, including siding replacement. The resulting repairs are exceptional and we are impressed. We have hired the same business to replace a dry-rotted fence and build a new gate, all done well!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Enhances property value, ensures safety, and provides a sound basis for future construction.

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.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.
