"He installed 7 pairs of outside shutters and they look good hung...no, they look great. Totally professional in every sense of the word and he does not waste time. He gets the job done and the workspace is cleaner after he is done that what it was before."

"Rich did a great job replacing the railing in my house. The work was very good. We discussed other projects in the house which he agreed to do the work. He replace the floor in the hallway and there were mistakes made in the work. We agreed to address it later after he did some of the other work we agreed to that he would do. He was paid in full for every job he did. He made multiple promises to return and do some other work. We had dates agreed upon that he would move forward and do additional work . The excuses started and then he never showed up. Did return calls or text messages on his status of returning. The floor was never redone after he was paid and I stated that I would pay him again to do right the second time around. The guy just never showed up again. Rich is a very nice guy and I did like working with him. It was just very disappointing that he stopped showing up and returning my messages. I would recommend him for replacing your stairs but buyer beware of his follow up"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

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.

Building a barndominium means converting a barn into a house. Barndominiums are becoming popular as spacious and stylish alternatives to typical housing structures. Old barns that become houses traditionally consist of wooden construction. However, newer structures, such as pole barns, often contain metal exteriors and roofs. Converting a metal outbuilding into a house presents an excellent opportunity to create a barndominium from metal.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

Installing an ornamental or decorative porch column takes around three to five hours. Structural columns take longer because your pro has to install a jack to hold up the roof while switching the column out. If there's any structural damage, it can add several days to the timeline to repair the damage.
