"The front of my house has been transformed from a worn, faded, tired look to a bright, newly constructed look; and it was transformed by paint! Magnificent job! Jeff was professional, asked questions and shared his ideas about colors, etc as he was asked. This young man knows his business!"

"Chris was recommended by a colleague who is a perfectionist. I therefore knew immediately this would be a great referral. We needed Chris to undo a badly botched wallpaper removal & paint job. A number of paint contractors had assessed this job & refused to take it on. Chris’ team acknowledged that it would be a difficult job but in the end did stunning work. Importantly, they started & completed the work in the time frame promised. He also kept to his original quote & checked daily on our satisfaction. Without a doubt the best painting work we have had done in 35 years. We would definitely hire Chris for any future projects & recommend him highly."

"I'm having insulation blown into the walls of my 1952 house, and when the insulation guy pulled off the siding he noticed the particle board was wet under a corner of a window. The insulation guy was coming back in a couple of days to complete his work, so I needed a quick response to fix this underlying issue before he blew in the insulation. I pinged Angi, and they gave me David's contact late on a Wednesday afternoon. Based on my picture of the siding showing the corner of the window and the wet board, he estimated a couple of hours work. He was able to show up Thursday about 1:00 and the job was done by 3 by David and his helper. Quick response, excellent work. I would definitely use his services again."

"HIGHLY RECCOMEND. From the first conversation and throughout the following processes of estimates and permitting, all the way to the end of the actual build, Deck Innovation's exceeded our expectations. Michael and team were everything we were looking for and more: genuine, honest, communicative, professional, thorough and just flat-out down to earth and pleasant humans. The quality, attention to detail and authentic devotion to their craft make recommending Deck Innovations to ANYONE in the greater Pittsburgh area an absolute no-brainer. If you are anywhere in the Sewickley, Wexford, Cranberry, Greater-Pitt area and are considering a deck do your future self a favor and give Michael from Deck Innovations a call."

"He helped us install a French door, open a wall to the kitchen, add framing, and reinforce our basement joists. He is professional, skilled, and reliable, with excellent carpentry expertise. He is also honest about what he can offer and upfront about areas outside his scope of interest or expertise. I strongly recommend him."

"Brody was fantastic! My bathroom was 20+ years old and he transformed it into a up to date beauty. He personally took time to design the layout and we LOVE it. Extremely professional and a very wonderful person outside of his expertise. I am having him install a powder room on my third floor. I highly recommend him for your next project Diana"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.
