"I hired Nelson and Sons to build a screened in porch off the back of my home from scratch. The entire job from start to finish including clean up was completed in less than 2 weeks. John and his sons are extremely friendly and easy to work with, They are efficient and their work is superior. They worked with my budget to build a porch that turned out beautiful and is everything I hoped for. I would highly recommend them and will definitely use them again for future projects."

Customers say: Quality work

"Tom completed picture-frame trimwork in my dining room. He was very easy to work with and timely with regard to providing the estimate and completing the work. He was courteous, friendly, and knowledgeable about what I wanted to have done. It wasn't a big job in terms of the cost (meaning: he could have told me it wasn't worth his time), but he made it a priority and completed the project quickly, knowing that I was planning a big party in my new home and wanted to have the trimwork complete. I will definitely use Tom again for future work that we will need and would recommend him to others!"

"Our deck was warping and buckling and needed to be torn down and rebuilt. Matt came to our house for an estimate and explained that we could re-use the existing deck boards and railings, saving us some money. Gary, Perry & Jamal did an excellent job doing the work. They were courteous, respectful of our property, on time, and professional. The deck looks wonderful and we look forward to utilizing the improved deck!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

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.
