"I was not sure what I wanted to replace some old pine trees that I had removed. My land was shifting without trees. Brandon felt I needed about 30 tees to secure the land and add privacy. Brandon also removed a large unhealthy bush and created a new landscape look in the front of my house. It was a lot of work and acomplished quickly. Brandon was responsive, respectful and delivered on his promises. I am very satisfied and can't wait to watch my new trees grow. I was very impressed at the way Brandon kept me in the loop. I never had to guess when workers would show up. I had other bids that were similar in price but time frames were for the fall. Other companies were really booked. I am glad I found Hepp Landscaping and got my job done within weeks. Brandon may appear young, but he is knowledgable and professional. I can be a picky customer... but can honestly say I am happy I chose this company for my yard."

"Excellent ‐ I currently live in a house that TrokStar Construction completely gutted and rebuilt. Neighbors often will stop by saying they can't believe it's the same house. The interior came out stunning ‐ I especially enjoy the modern kitchen and bathroom. The highlight though is probably the handed crafted fireplace mantle and frame. I would highly recommend TrokStar for any construction project, big or small."

"Sam added crown molding to our dining room and did a fantastic job! It was not the easiest job considering we have an older home with unevenness and an awkward corner fireplace to work around. He was reasonably priced , very professional, and a great communicator compared to my experience with other contractors. I would hire him again in a heartbeat!"

"Mr. Crown was Great gave me excellent advice to keep the current door I have no need to purchase a new door and install it would have cost 1,100 to 1,500 for me and I didn't have that type of budget. He fixed re-aligned the current door to stop the draft put weather stripping and new seal jams and changed locks and knobs for less than $300. Hire Mr. Crown he is Honest and fair and does great work"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

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 desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.

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.
