"I needed to have items hauled to the dump within a short time frame. Thankfully Rob made himself available to do the job the same day. I wasn't even on site. Rob communicated what he'd done with pictures to verify. He left the site looking exactly as it should. Great to work with. His price was very fair. I would hire again without reservation."

"Great Communication. Professional. Quality work. Hired MS to build a 230ft mixed material fence and a deck over my existing stoop of an entry. Couldn't be more impressed. We had a vision in mind and Mike made it happen. So impressed with the work they are now build a deck out back. Would definitely recommend."

"Eddie is a true professional and great communicator. He worked with me and my neighbor to find the perfect fence we both like. The quality of the work was greater than expected. His pricing was also very fair.. My neighbor and I are considering other projects for Eddie to build for us."

"They were quick to give us a quote and to come do the work. Even though they ran into difficulty with a roof support due to previous deck construction, they problem solved well and completed the beautiful deck very timely."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

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.
