"We have bought two farms in the last three years. Each time I used Dave for all my renovations and field control. He can do almost any project with enough time given. He has a busy schedule, but once heâ s with you, his team is there til your job is done. We used his services for: Painting Exterior repair of home Interior repair of home New trim around shop and 2,300 sq ft home Installations Excavation Tree line clearing Gravel pad Concrete pad Road building Livestock fencing Driveway installation Soon heâ ll be working on a tiny home setup for my Mom and a large overhang for the livestock. Iâ ve used Dave for years. I couldnâ t be happier with his service and team. They are hard workers. They see delays before they become a delay. Everything suggested only adds value or beauty. He has never overcharged for the quality he provides. You get exactly what you pay for. I will use his service till he retires and for all of my projects."

"Hired Charles to replace over a 1000 feet of deck and several stairways. They did an excellent job in a timely manner and cleaned up the area very nicely. They were very professional, courteous, friendly and did an excellent job. The estimate of time and materials for this project came within 5% of the original bid. I would highly recommend them. They were very easy to work with and if there was a problem they were always willing to fix it. They aim to please the client."

Customers say: Super punctual

"It was fine. I had a little bit of a problem but I worked it out with the manager and everything was fine. It took a little bit of time. It took a while to get them out here so the owner of the company discounted the work for me. I thought they were fine. I would use them again. I had to pay for the paint because the deal didn't come with paint. He was wonderful. He explained things to me. He took a hundred dollars off and I was happy. What happened wasn't their fault. I had to call several times before I got a hold of the owner. They were here right on time."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

The cost to convert a carport into a garage averages about $22,000, ranging from about $15,000 and $55,000. Additional cost factors to consider include size, time of year, and how much of the carport you can reuse. Other cost factors include the kinds and amounts of materials used, such as:

  • Add insulation: $1 per square foot

  • Add drywall: $1–$3 per square foot

  • Add window: $450–$2,000 per window

  • Add outlets: $75–$500

  • Add garage door: $250–$11,200

  • Enclose framing: $5–$13 per square foot

  • Replace roofing: $1,000–$2,000

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.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.
