"Tony responded quickly tp my request for quote and came by next day. We had one of the horizontal beams on our deck approximately 17’ above ground that was decayed and deck was sagging. We got a quote quick, very reasonable price and Tony arranged for 2 men to do the job just 2 days later. Workmanship was excellent and site was left neat and tidy. Very satisfied and will contact Tony when we have more work."

"This a great company. I had them repair a door for me and they did an excellent job. Cost was a bit more than expected but what project isn’t over budget. Serge and Nick took the call and made everything happen. Terrific!"

"It went very well. Hayden was very professional, timely, communicated well, and did an excellent job on our backyard deck. The deck needed cleaning up and staining. Over a couple of days, he power washed the deck well, let it dry thoroughly, sanded it and then stained it a redwood stain color we requested, that he provided. He was very pleasant, thorough and cleaned up the surrounding area after the job. The deck looks beautiful. I asked if he dealt with fences as well, and he indicated he does, so when ready, we will call on Ray’s Pressure Washing again! It will be soon!"

"The guy who showed up was not able to complete the work. He said the estimate was not done correctly and there was not enough time and he needed help. We agreed on a compromise to just have him paint the porch. He was nice, but the work I hired the firm to do was not completed."

"I was very pleased with the outcome of our project to add a pocket door. Paul Marteeny approached it as I had hoped: doing his best not to destroy anything unnecessarily, re-using existing trim if it could go back in, and purchasing/installing all needed pieces. He treated the wall as if it was load bearing, even though it wasn't (better to be sure). Even though our house is not "true," Paul managed to make the adjustments needed for the frame. He provided me with good guidance to open up one side of the wall myself, allowing quick installation of the initial "slab." He gave me a brakedown of his proposal. This allowed us to agree to an amended proposal when it was clear some of the work would be different. This was a clear indicator for me that I would enjoy working with Paul Marteeny. As with all things, there were some concerns: not getting my own copy of the agreement, difficulty in getting responses through email. It was finished, though, and we are enjoying the new door!"

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.

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, 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.

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.

Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.
