"By far the best in the Lehigh valley at all home repairs and remodeling. We hired Wagner country carpentry for several different jobs in our home from putting new flooring in to ceiling fans in almost every room as well as other electrical that we needed done and even painting. He was so honest from the start and pricing was better then anyone around! His work is very detailed and you can tell he takes pride in his everything he does. I highly recommend him! Thank you so much for everything and we look forward to having you do more for us in the future!"

"Scott and Arian were wonderful! They provided a quote and completed the work all within the span of a week! My deck needed a pressure wash and a few boards replaced before the stain and Scott took care of it all. He and his office manager Arian were extremely friendly as well. I'm very happy with the results and would recommend them to anyone."

"Great job building the patio. Minor problems were addressed and will be taken care of. The Patio was a great addition to our main house. Lots of comments from friends and family. We use our patio more now that it is covered than when it was just a deck. Everyone in the crew done a fantastic job to make us happy. Thank you for the super job that was done for our family. We have been recommening your business to others who want to know who done the job."

"I hired D Design Woodworking to build a floor mirror utilizing an antique mirror from an English armoire. We discussed the design, the type of wood (maple) to be used and the stain color. I received the mirror yesterday and I couldnâ t be happier. The mirror looks great in the frame and Iâ m extremely impressed with the workmanship. The mirror is very substantial and the stain matches our new bedroom furniture perfectly. I cannot recommend D Design more highly."

"Tony, my assigned handyman is a bright and creative person of unusually varied skills. It seemed that he could lay his hands on an appliance and diagnose the problem in minutes-then fix the problem that hadn’t been done properly by his predecessor. He is very alert and responsive to my thoughts and suggestions and successfully dealt with the items on my list. I expect a return visit to deal with a roof patch and gutter flush that rain had prevented on the day of his work."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.

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.

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.
