"David rebuilt my deck stairs which are a story or two high and fixed the railing on top of the deck and fixed the supports under the deck. He also fixed and repaired my back porch. It was a lot of work for both projects, but he did a great job on both. He's very easy to talk to and work with and he has a great personality and work ethic. He listened and answered all my concerns and questions I had about both projects. He even listened to my input about making the deck stairs a little better and it turned out great. He did a fantastic job with my deck and back porch. A He's very knowledgeable and fair with his prices. (I needed a licensed contractor I could depend on that knew what he was doing and wouldn't over charge me or screw me over on substandard work. I've had bad experiences with that in the past with a different contractor.) I was lucky to find David on Angie's List. David did fantastic work and fixed everything I needed fixing. I'm definetly use him again. "

Here at Momos construction we offer a wide range of services when it comes to home remodeling building decks doing electrical doing plumbing painting, hanging sheet rock doing knockdown sheet rock finish trim work installing windows, overall doing additions installing all different kinds of flooring ect. We have been in business for over a year with 20+ years experience. We are owner operator business. We like to strive to go above and beyond for our customers.

"We started off good and they initially did good work. I delt with the owner Brandon Lockler. After a couple of months of work I trusted them enough to pay for work up front because he said he need the money to get materials as he could not afford it. I wired him $7000. As soon as he received it they disappeared and stopped answering the phone. Very disappointed as he sold himself as a hardworking family man of faith."

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.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.

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.
