"Rough Diamond Construction Company did an excellent job remodeling my family room/basement. Nate's attention to detail and his expertise was well worth every dollar paid. He was always in contact with me as well as advocating for me when I had a water problem in my basement with the company who initially made the repair. Because of the water problem I experienced in the summer, I decided to have the entire room renovated - new floors, walls, ceiling, doors, etc. Nate and his crew were professional and efficient. The end result is that the room is absolutely beautiful. I would recommend Nate and his team to anyone - you won't be sorry."

"The crew came to the house and modified their way of working to accommodate the tight work space. They were friendly and went above what they had to do by saving my flowers out of my flower bed before they began digging out the space. They answered my questions and explained how things were going. The company owner often checked in by phone and in person to communicate with me regarding the job."

"Exceptional Service ? Fast, Professional, and Reliable! We recently had a major plumbing issue that needed immediate attention, and I couldn?t be more impressed with the service we received. From the moment I contacted New Vision, their customer service was top-notch?friendly, responsive, and incredibly professional. They arrived quickly, assessed the problem thoroughly, and explained everything clearly before starting the work. What really stood out was how efficiently and cleanly the job was done. It was a serious issue, but they handled it with skill and confidence, making what could have been a stressful situation feel completely under control. The work was completed much faster than expected, and everything was done right the first time. No cutting corners, no delays.. just honest, high quality workmanship. It?s rare to find a contractor who combines speed, quality, and outstanding customer care, but New Vision truly delivered on all fronts. Highly recommend!!"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Cedar and cypress are great wood choices for a window planter box because they’re readily available and won’t break the bank. However, there are plenty of wood types appropriate for a window flower box. Try using redwood for its natural resistance to rot, though it is on the expensive side.

Rather than using a common two-by-four piece of wood for a rafter, you probably will use two-by-six, two-by-eight, two-by-ten, or even two-by-twelve boards. Wider lumber is typically a better choice in a larger building as it provides more sturdiness. Some installers may use wider lumber for rafters near the edges of the roof, where the greatest stress occurs, and save money with narrower lumber toward the middle.

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.

Wood carports provide weather protection for vehicles, serve as multipurpose spaces, and add aesthetic and functional value to properties.

New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.
