"Robert was easy to work with and very much dedicated to doing a good job. He maintained a clearly defined schedule and was always on time. He was creative in figuring out how to strength my existing porch by adding additional board under the structure. This ended up giving me significant savings compared to another company that said they would wanted to rip off my existing porch and start all over. I never could have afforded that so I valued Robert's creative solution to keep the cost much lower. My thanks to Robert and Angi's."

"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."

"While EZ landscaping may be good for small projects, I would not recommend them for installing a new build yard. They took 3 months to finish the job, offering excuses, but no work. Our neighbors complained about the dirt washing into their yards and we received a letter from the Borough about the complaints. Not a good way to move into a new neighborhood. The yard is rough, with rocks and dirt still present after they planted grass."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, most services include necessary frame modifications for proper door fitting. Confirm with your provider.

Enhances property value, ensures safety, and provides a sound basis for future construction.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

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.
