Precision contracting is all about remodeling and repair of your old or new structure that is in need of some attention. Anything from new siding, windows,doors,painting,staining,new fencing,new porches and decks or just replacing a few old deck boards. And even fixing that old barn on the property . It can all be done with precision by Precision... I've been involved with the carpentry industry for the majority of my life, introducing Precision Contracting to the trade within the past 4 years. My grandfather and his brothers were business men running a well known family business building homes from ground up. That is how I got my start in the trade as a young boy in what seems like "way back" in the 80s. If it's experience and quality that you prefer in a finished job, We feel the same here at Precision. Every thing is built to last with looks that match. Precisely. Give us a call for free estimates. Mon.-Fri. 8am-8pm & Sat 8am-12pm.

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.

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.

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.

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. 

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.
