"Hiring Best Decks LLC was one of the best decisions we made for our home. They were hardworking, honest, and never tried to upsell us on things we didn't need. The deck came in on budget and on time. More importantly, it's beautiful. Our backyard finally feels like an extension of our home. Five stars without hesitation."

"AutLaws Carpentry came out to measure for my crown mouldings and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He was prompt, reached out immediately, and met with me the same day. He measured everything carefully and double checked his measurements, which gave me a lot of confidence. He was friendly, professional, and detail-oriented. I am 100% positive I chose the right person for the job."

"Joe and his crew did excellent work. The project came with some extra challenges, some rotting wood and strange window edging. But Joe and his team answered all my questions and modified the project to fit the needs. I needed some modifications for window capping and Joe was always readily available to answer all my questions and take care of any issues throughout the entire process. Iâ m impressed by the work and consideration Joe and the crew had. So impressed I started another project with them while they were here. Joe came, measured everything up and had everything taken care of in one day, what service! I would definitely recommend Joe and his team to anyone in need of a siding project!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

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.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.

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.
