"I cannot say enough good things about SSCR carpentry, from their professional attitude and the quality of their work to the way that's got explained everything to me so that Even someone that knows nothing about carpentry can understand. SSCR made us a beautiful Trex deck for less than the cost of what a treated deck would have cost. They even moved our furniture off the deck and back on for us and one of the pieces was really heavy."

"I have never met a contractor more reliable than Darek. He makes the whole renovating and building process less stressful and fun. He replaced a deck in our house and help renovating most of the inside. (Until now we keep getting compliments from neighbors about the deck!) Darek is very professional and easy to work with, very knowledgeable and helpful. The best quality and value. Would recommend and use him again without hesitation!"

"I recently hired Connection123 Services for a deck repair project, and I couldn?t be happier with the experience. From the initial consultation to the completion of the work, the team was professional, responsive, and knowledgeable. They took the time to explain the repairs needed, provided a fair estimate, and completed the job on schedule. The craftsmanship was excellent, the work area was kept clean, and the finished deck looks fantastic. It?s clear they take pride in their work and care about customer satisfaction. I highly recommend Connection123 Services to anyone looking for reliable, quality handyman and home improvement services. I will definitely be using them again for future projects."

"Mr. Toye was a real lifesaver. He showed up right when he said and he was easy to contact about scheduling and other questions. I needed some weird problems solved at the house I just bought and everything was expertly done! Dan's rate was very fair and I already have plans for him to do more work soon!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

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.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.
