I do crawlspace work, rather it’s encapsulating or structural work. Also I do decking and subfloor. Give me a call if you have any further questions.

We specialize in all aspects of drywall and painting services. We also offer carpentry, framing, and flooring services. We have 18 years experience and have been serving WNC for the last 3 years. We have many references and you can also view previous projects and our company overview at jb-hi.com. we are a owner operated company and never leave the job unattended. We pride ourselves in professionalism and details.

"Disappointed to say the least. Josh and Bob seemed like good guys and things started out well. Hired them to clean out a foreclosed house and yard that was a mess. We are out of state real estate investors. They did clean out the house and removed the shed. They said the job was done and sent pictures of a cleaned out house and yard and were eager to collect payment. We paid them. Later, when we made it to the property, we found that the one part of the yard that was not in the pictures was filled with large piles of debris and wood (the remnants of the shed.) They flat out lied, and collected payment for an incomplete job; I would not trust these guys to change a light bulb."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

There are some rules regarding how far your exterior bump-out can go. For a cantilever bump-out that avoids the need to provide additional structural support, the limit is often 24 inches. However, if a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can encompass a whole room or more. Remember that many residential properties are subject to limits regarding the total house size relating to the size of the lot. 

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.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

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