"Deck Works, LLC did an excellent job for me. I needed an outdoor fence repair, and after finding them on Angie’s List, they called me right away and came out promptly to assess the project. They explained the repair clearly, and the cost was very reasonable. The work was completed exactly as promised, and I couldn’t have been happier with the results. A few days later, a tree limb fell during a storm, so I contacted them again to see if they could remove it. They came out the very next day and took care of it. I really appreciate their quick response, professionalism, and willingness to help. I would highly recommend Deck Works, LLC."

"Had a rotting 20 foot support beam under our deck. Jeremiah came up with a plan to replace the beam and improve the structural integrity of the deck. Complex operation since there is a heavy pergola on top of the deck but he was able to complete it in one day. Super happy with the results."

"I hired this company for my project, and they did a fantastic job. The team was very organized, careful, and kept everything clean throughout the entire process. Their punctuality and responsibility truly stood out from the beginning to the end. They completed the work the same day, which exceeded my expectations. I was very impressed with the quality of their work and their professionalism. I will not hesitate to hire them again for future projects. I am also sharing some photos of the completed project so others can see the excellent results and quality of their workmanship. This company is excellent, and I highly recommend them 100% to anyone looking for a roof or siding replacement, or any type of repairs. If you are searching for a reliable and professional contractor, this is the company you are looking for."

"We hired Ty to do a kitchen remodel. He asked what we were looking for and if we were set on anything particular. We gave him our ideas and of course asked his input. He came up with a few ideas and presented them to us. Once everything had been decided, he was extremely on point with bringing the project to life. He was professional throughout the entire project, communicated everything, was punctual and completely transformed our kitchen. We plan on remodeling our bathroom next and he is the man for the job."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

You can enclose an open carport, however, there are several things to consider before opting to do so. You'll want to check local building codes and permit requirements before proceeding to make sure it’s legal. While you can sometimes stick-frame a carport enclosure, pre-fab kits are also available. Remember that you'll likely need to meet concrete slab regulations and provide lighting inside the structure. Both of which could substantially drive up costs.

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

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.

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.
