"Our home is a 50's cape cod. What that means in real language is that nothing is square. Everything has settled so that there are indents, misalignments, etc. everywhere! Our dog did some major damage on bay window sill as well. Dave first did work for my husband over 20 years ago. Nothing has changed in all that time. He does the quality work now that he did then. In fact, he's better! He estimated the job, advised me where I could get the best costs on tile and styles (as I wanted to pick out the finishes). Gave me a spot on estimate of the time it would take and - as always - arrived at the hour promised to complete the task. It is beautiful and we absolutely love it! Somehow, he worked his magic to make the lines look straight!"

"The Trinh Brothers did an excellent job. They replaced a large sidewalk block, 3 walkway blocks and a step. And they even fixed a part of my stucco wall that wasn't squared correctly; this was not even a part of the job, but I sure appreciated that extra effort to make sure my front looked good. I highly recommend this company!"

"James Parker is the best. He Replaced my Deck. He is a very honest person and Knows what he is doing. When my son gets his new house I definitely recommend James Parker to do his deck, he did a fantastic job, and replacing it with the Trex makes it look even more beautiful. First, he came in and as they were taking the wooden planks off to get to the frame he did tell me that the wood was bad so it had to be replaced and he actually showed me what the problem was too, and then within three days I had a brand new deck. You will not go wrong hiring James Parker, he and his team are awesome. Not only were they fast they were very professional as well."

"Dan was very pleasant and comfortable to work with. There were three family members involved because the work was being done for an elderly handicapped person. Dan kept us all in the loop and let me know when the work was completed. I went to completed project, and I am very pleased with the outcome of the deck repair and painting as well as the shingle replacements on the gazebo. Dan's pricing was fair, he was timely, and very considerate. We will definitely call Dan again as needed,"

"Eric and his team did an excellent job on our kitchen wall repair job. We had a pipe burst in our kitchen ceiling which caused water damage to the encasing soffit, surrounding drywall and door frame, which all had to torn out and replaced. Eric was responsive to my calls and texts, easy to work with and was able to work within the timeframe that we were looking for. His team of Josh and Christian came in and completed the job in a timely manner, were friendly and professional and did a fantastic job. Everything looks as good as new."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

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.

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.
