"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!"

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.

While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

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.
