"Great. Had my basement finished. They put in a bathroom and finished rest of basement into a craft room. Love the way it turned out. I'm having them turning a small room into a pantry. I had to ask them for extra time before they start the pantry. My mother isn't well and i needed to take care of some things before i was ready to start on that. They were good at working with me. Would recomend them to anyone who needs work done."

"Wesley built our deck recently , and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, he was professional, communicative, and reliable. He listened to our ideas, gave helpful suggestions, and completed the project on time with great attention to detail. The craftsmanship is outstanding — the deck looks amazing and feels sturdy and safe. He used quality materials and left the area clean and tidy. We’ve already had compliments from neighbors! Highly recommend him if you’re looking for someone who takes pride in their work and delivers exactly what they promise."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.

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.
