"Comment: John was very professional and did an exceptional job on our deck project replacing deteriorated deck boards, steps, stringers and railing. During the project other issues were discovered with rotten ledger boards, beauty band, etc. and he repaired/replaced those at the same time. We were also replacing all railing with another type and he had great suggestions that turned out beautifully. Some of our structures were not straight or level but John has the experience, knowledge and skills to work with this. I was very pleased with precautions taken to protect our home and surrounding property to prevent damage and that debris was removed every day instead of waiting until end of the job. I'm looking forward to John building a large carport for us next year."

"Mr. JONES came to our home and helped us with options on Mini Split HVAC unit for a room addition. We could not have happier with the customer service and the installation crew. He also looked at our unit for the house and gave us some future options, no high pressure sales tactics. Going to call him next year about our master bathroom remodel when we have the extra money. We are glad we found him. Give him a call you won't be disappointed."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

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. 

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.

Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.
