"Should have made this review last year when the work was done. Doesn't really have the option to pick what I needed done. I requested my porch columns to replaced. He gave me his recommendation as to what he would do. He was extremely nice to work with. He even let me hang around to ask questions while he did the job so I could learn a little bit."

"BetterLiving is a company that operates with honesty and integrity. We just wrapped up a complete demolition and new build of our large front porch all done by the courteous, knowledgeable BetterLiving crew. It was really a great experience from the carpenter who first came out Anthony and also Hogan who kept us informed on time tables and what to expect next. The young men who did this fabulous job were Darion and Josh phenomenal and professional at all times. Super hard working and considerate. The owner himself, Ray came out as our property was challenging but he insured everything was safe and well thought out. My husband and I can not say enough about this group of honest hardworking contractors who gave us gold standard customer service from the top down! Thank you Betterliving for our new beautiful front porch! You guys really put a smile on this Nurses’ face. You simply can not go wrong with this company. Angela S."

"Mark Rose and his crew did a great job on our family room renovation! Mark’s price was very fair, and he communicated with us every step of the way. Unlike other work crews we’ve had in the past, Mark or LJ was onsite everyday during the renovation, and they easily completed in the time they estimated. They were very respectful, eager to please, and conscientious about their work. We love our new family room, and we highly recommend Mark!"

"Found Sentri on Angi. Jeanette and Violet were very pleasant and efficient in getting a contractor to me in the time frame needed. The contractor was excellent and the roof looks great! I would definitely work with them again if I had additional projects."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

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.

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.
