"From the appointment setter Deja to my carpenter Ziv, I received the best service than I could have imagine. Deja was professional and made me feel welcomed not just a number. She answered all of my questions and was thorough. Ziv was professional, quick, and educational. He took the time to explain what he was doing and why. The work was exceptional and flawless. Thank you both!"

"This was my first experience hiring a contractor and Mr. Sturgess's was great to work with. He was able to meet with me outside of my work hours to go over my plans. His crew was on time, friendly, and answered any questions I had. Mr. Sturgess rates were very reasonable, and he and his team are very honest and easy to work. Since they have finished converting my carport to the screened sun room, I asked if they could go ahead and finish some other projects for me. I can't wait until all of my projects are done."

"Greg and his team at "Easy Does It" were amazing to work with. Greg is professional and courteous, and always makes sure his client is happy. Our experience began due to a referral from a friend, then Greg came out, reviewed the property, then began his bid, which was timely and affordable. His timelines for the work he was going to do were spot on - he neither over or underestimated the time it would take. Once the work started, it seemed to go quickly. Every time I came back home at the end of the day, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the crew cleans up after themselves every afternoon, so my house was always organized, despite all the work being done. Greg responded quickly with questions that I had about the work, and was willing to tweak things here and there as the job progressed. If anything came up that wasn't discussed before, Greg always called, presented the options, and made sure we were on the same page going forward. At the end of the job, during the walkthrough, there were no hard feelings or getting defensive when I stated what I had seen that needed fixing, and usually Greg had noted the same things himself that needed to be touched up or redone. It was a pleasure to work with Greg and his team, and I'll be sure to call them again if I need to do some home improvement in the future. If you're looking for a general contractor, stop your search here and Hire Greg!"

"They were very professional, and knowledge. Before I called Rock Solid; many other companies came out give estimate on my roof. But it seem that they were in hurry in some of them were in a bad mood in didn't really go over what was needed. But when I called Rock Solid Contracting, they were quick on phone, nice, and helpful! They educated me on different kinds of roof materials and recommended me best for my home."

"I would highly recommend this business.  We had them come and restain the deck and at first just powerwash the house.  They scheduled the work right away.  After doing the pressure washing, there were some areas with paint chips under the soffit.  Mike offered to repaint those for free.  During this, they noticed areas of the soffit that were rotten, so we had them repair those areas of the wood.  They also fixed a few screens that were damaged during the pressure washing for free.  
Everything turned out great, and we are very happy we had this work done.  Mike and Crystal are very professional and easy to work with.  I will be having them do some more work on our house in the near future.

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

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.

Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.
