Customers say: True professional

"D and D demonstrated expertise with handling and replacing damaged hardi-plank siding at my house. They did everything safely and modified the method that hardi-plank meets the roof shingles to prevent future moisture damage. They also made good use of materials I had on hand such as house paint and siding materials that brought the total cost of the job down. I am delighted and comfortable that the cost was a a lot less than the improvement in the future value of our home."

"I couldn’t be happier with the deck they built for my porch! From start to finish, the entire process was professional, smooth, and stress-free. They paid close attention to every detail, used quality materials, and made sure everything was done right. The craftsmanship is outstanding, and the finished deck turned out even better than I imagined. The crew was friendly, hardworking, and respectful of my property, always cleaning up at the end of the day. It’s clear they take pride in their work and genuinely care about customer satisfaction. If you’re looking for a company that is reliable, honest, and delivers exceptional results, I highly recommend them. I will definitely be using them again for future projects and won’t hesitate to recommend them to family and friends. Thank you for transforming my porch into a beautiful space that my family will enjoy for years to come!"

"John is a special person. He is my guardian angel of carpentry and staining our deck. Our deck looks new again. A few things left to do but once their done I'll be in my heaven. I have already lined up another job for John which is part of the ceiling in our garage which is coming down. John has done so many extra things for ne which I am eternally grateful. I highly would hire this gracious and perfectionist gentleman for all of my future jobs. Thank you so much John, you are the best. Jan and Lucas Willink"

"I found this company very professional and they did a great job. They took out a steel door for us and laid 3 rows of concrete block in the opening. Then framed the remaining part of the opening and put plywood to cover the hole. I was so impressed I hired them to build a retaining wall for me."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Homeowners can increase the usefulness of their garage space in other ways, and one option is to extend the length of the garage by making it deeper. The process is similar to traditional garage extensions, but the end product is a garage with a different layout rather than additional parking spaces. 

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.

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.
