"I am very pleased with refurbished deck. The pergola was pressure washed and stained. The deck was demoed to the framing and rotted joists replaced. All of the deck boards were replaced and meticulously cut around the pool. The worksite was cleaned up every night. Very pleased."

"Everything was perfect. I’m very pleased and impressed with Dave’s responsiveness, professionalism and ability. Some stubborn parts on our old tub and shower were tricky, but he persevered and made everything work wonderfully well. He hung a large framed painting that had been leaning against the fireplace for ages (this required a pro to hang correctly) and it looks outstanding. It’s centered just right and is secure. Lastly, he installed a new faucet in another bathroom and that looks gorgeous also. Dave does it all and I will definitely hire him again for other home improvements and repairs. Very reasonable and honest. He goes the extra mile to do the job right. I’m so happy to have found him on Angies List."

"James Parker is the best. He Replaced my Deck. He is a very honest person and Knows what he is doing. When my son gets his new house I definitely recommend James Parker to do his deck, he did a fantastic job, and replacing it with the Trex makes it look even more beautiful. First, he came in and as they were taking the wooden planks off to get to the frame he did tell me that the wood was bad so it had to be replaced and he actually showed me what the problem was too, and then within three days I had a brand new deck. You will not go wrong hiring James Parker, he and his team are awesome. Not only were they fast they were very professional as well."

"Great experience overall! Eduard did an excellent job repairing our old wooden front door, which is original to the house. His work was professional, and the finished result looks great. He was efficient, reliable, and made sure everything was properly done. I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing home repairs."

"Dan was very pleasant and comfortable to work with. There were three family members involved because the work was being done for an elderly handicapped person. Dan kept us all in the loop and let me know when the work was completed. I went to completed project, and I am very pleased with the outcome of the deck repair and painting as well as the shingle replacements on the gazebo. Dan's pricing was fair, he was timely, and very considerate. We will definitely call Dan again as needed,"

"Eric and his team did an excellent job on our kitchen wall repair job. We had a pipe burst in our kitchen ceiling which caused water damage to the encasing soffit, surrounding drywall and door frame, which all had to torn out and replaced. Eric was responsive to my calls and texts, easy to work with and was able to work within the timeframe that we were looking for. His team of Josh and Christian came in and completed the job in a timely manner, were friendly and professional and did a fantastic job. Everything looks as good as new."

"Spoke with Kevin. Very friendly and helpful. It was a sress free interaction. Him and one other person built my fence within the time frame he stated. Was always punctual and communicated well. Cleaned up their work area when they were done. Called him for other projects after that. He also did some work for my mother-in-law and she was also very happy with the quality of their work."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

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.

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.
