"Amazing job on a complicated fence. Part of our tall yard fence was destroyed by a tree falling on it in a January ice strom. Edgar fixed this area, with exactly the same style and paneling as the rest of the wrap-around yard fence. A top notch job on a difficult hillside. And affordable! I highly recommend his services."

"We needed a door frame taken off to get a new refrigerator into our kitchen. He quickly and cleanly removed the existing door frame. Since our appliance delivery was delayed, he worked with our schedules to get the trim out redone afterwards. Once we gave him the greenlight, he was able to complete the new trim out and paint matched. Highly professional, quality workmanship"

"I hired Joshua to do a master bathroom remodel and can't say enough about the quality, professionalism and integrity that he displayed throughout the entire process. Not only was he thorough, skilled, punctual, neat and communicative,, his subcontractors were as well. Joshua treated his trades people with respect and consideration and that was reflected in the work that they did for him on my job. Together they delivered a project that was both on time and beautifully executed. I was an interior designer for many years and worked with a myriad of different contractors. Joshua stands head and shoulders above anyone I have worked with previously and I would not hesitate to recommend Rutledge Construction."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

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.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.
