"Split-rail fence in the front of house.
Awesome employees, from the design engineer to the laborers. Material is all top notch. Finished job is more than we could imagine. It’s BEAUTIFUL and makes us smile every time we drive up or are looking out our windows. It added so much personality to our place. Thank you Rick’s Fencing and Decking. Many locations, we are located in the Silverton/Salem area."
"Scott was terrific to work with, I changed a couple of things with the design in mid installation and he worked them out with no issues at all. Have been in the construction management myself for over 40 years and can really appreciate the way he handles his business."
"Everything was completed to my satisfaction. They did a very good job in some of the difficult areas. For example, painting around thick vines growing on porch columns and beam. Everything I pointed out in the inspection was taken care of promptly with no excuses. Communication was good with everyone involved. I would have no qualms about using company again or recommending to others. Following are a couple of minor issues we had. A few minor issues: We had 3 gallons of left over trim paint. That seemed like an error in estimating amount needed. On the other hand, there was only 1/2 gal. of main color left which is what I would expect for trim also. My hot tub was unplugged before they started because it was empty. The crew plugged it in when they finished without checking with me. It was several hours before I noticed it. I had to reset the heater unit but no damage was done."
"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!"
"Cory completed two projects for me, one out of his area of expertise. He did a great job and I am very pleased with both the quality of work and the customer service. Highly recommend him to anyone needing furniture repair."
"We happened upon Shawn replacing a deck for someone in our neighborhood. He came and looked at our deck that needed replaced. He drew up a professional estimate with pictures of the deck and back stairs he would build for for us and we hired him. He listened to our wants and needs that were fulfilled. Shawn, Justin and Wyatt were very kind, personable and very professional. I highly recommend Shawn Miner for all your building/project needs. We couldn't have found anybody better. Thank you Shawn 😊"

Yes, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.
Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.
Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.
Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.
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.
