"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."

"We had a major water leak from our air conditioning system which damaged our laminate flooring as well as our drywall ceiling and a few walls. We contacted IPS, who provided fast service. They promptly came out to repair the flooring as well as the drywall.  They were very skilled in their work, it was a high quality job done in an extremely professional manner. They were very courteous and personable as well. In addition to that work, they also painted our laundry room which needed painting and installed handles on our cabinets. I was extremely pleased with all of the work and would highly recommend them to anyone without hesitation.

"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

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. 

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

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.

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.

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.
