"Great job building the patio. Minor problems were addressed and will be taken care of. The Patio was a great addition to our main house. Lots of comments from friends and family. We use our patio more now that it is covered than when it was just a deck. Everyone in the crew done a fantastic job to make us happy. Thank you for the super job that was done for our family. We have been recommening your business to others who want to know who done the job."

"Work was done very professionally with great attention to detail and absolutely no shortcuts were taken. The carpenter assigned to the job, Steve, built the deck as if it were being done at his own home. We have received many compliments on the looks and integrity of the new Trex deck. Township inspections were passed with no discrepancies found. Building codes were followed to the T. We are exceptionally happy with this project."

"Fred came for a free estimate the day after we contacted him.  He was punctual, friendly and thorough.  He was able to come in the next day for the installation.  Everything went smoothly and the final cost did not differ from the estimate provided.  Overall we were happy with his service and would definitely hire him again for other installations or home improvement projects.

"I had been looking to have my roof done for months. Seth Kemmerer responded to my requests and I loved he provided options. Other companies did not provide options just pushed a higher priced job. Seth was very hands on and in communicated every step of what was happening with the job. I hired their company 9/18/2020 and my roof was installed; job completed 9/21/2020. I will be using them for future work. A great experience !!!! This company rocks!!!"

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.

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.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.

A-frame homes are on the smaller side. While there’s no set square footage amount it has to be, it will usually come in around 1,000 square feet or smaller.
