"My wife and I hired Auxilium Construction to do some repairs and renovations around my house, and I was very impressed by the work. Brandon and Eli are professional, courteous, and efficient. They did a great job with everything I asked them to do, from fixing a damaged fence to interior design improvements, painting and staining a pergola, and more. They are affordable and presented me with a fair estimate before starting the work. They showed up on time every day and finished the project ahead of schedule. The company is extremely conscientious and even went above and beyond by fixing some minor issues that I overlooked before. They are very easy to communicate with and always answer my calls and texts promptly. I would highly recommend Auxilium Construction to anyone who needs a top-notch handyman service. Brandon and Eli deserve five stars for their excellent work!"

"John replaced our 2 porches and deck, and built a beautiful custom cedar pergola. Excellent worker, very easy to talk and work with, we can’t say enough good things about him. He gets in and works hard, rarely saw him take a break! Our old trex decks were a mess and he knew what to do and showed us other brands and we decided what we wanted. Then the pergola, it was a real work of art and the workmanship shines through! We can’t say enough good things about this experience. A few of our neighbors also hired him for jobs after seeing his work. Totally professional and so friendly. John showed us pictures of other pergolas he had built and from listening to us, he came up with a custom design which is beautiful and inspiring. Absolutely love our new porches and pergola!"

"Overall, he did a good job with the project. It was tough to get the initial quote and finalize the project - he could have been more responsive. The job quality was excellent - his team did a very good job with the final product."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Bow windows need support because they are large and extend out from the exterior wall of the home. Bow windows may extend 1 foot to several feet from the outside of the home, so you’ll need to provide additional support to handle this weight. A window contractor will be able to provide the proper amount of support for your new bow window.

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.

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

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.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.
