"We had been searching for some time for replacement entry doors for our home. The existing doors were not a standard size. Covenant Construction was recommended by a provider we had used in the past who suggested that Ronnie Forrester at Covenant might be able to adjust the framing to accept a standard size set of doors. Problem solved! We placed an order online for exactly the doors we wanted and scheduled our appointment with Covenant to coincide with the delivery to store date. Ronnie Forrester of Covenant picked up the doors, delivered and installed the same day. The result was excellent, greatly improved the appearance of our entry and the price was extremely reasonable. Mr. Forrester and his father worked together on the project and were both very skilled as well as pleasant and courteous. Great experience, start to finish.

"Kerry Dixon did an outstanding job building out a room addition for us upstairs. This was an unused attic space that we turned into a craft room/office for my wife. Kerry added an egress and built a dormer coming out of the garage roof that looks like it was part of the original house. He listed to what we wanted which was to have the addition to look like the rest of the house including rounded corners. I would definitely recommend Kerry Dixon."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

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.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.
