"Two fine men with steady hands, Built dreams with wood and strong deck stands— Austin, with a measured eye, Andrew, lifting spirits high. They came with tools and hearts aligned, Each plank laid true, each board well-timed. With hammer’s song and sawdust rain, They raised a porch from earth again. The joists were set, the beams stood proud, A sturdy frame that spoke aloud Of craftsmanship both sure and kind— A labor shaped by heart and mind. By sunset’s glow, the work was done, A place to sit beneath the sun, Where laughter lives and peace can land— All thanks to Andrew’s, Austin’s hands. Now every nail and timber speaks Of honest work, of strong and sleek— A deck, but more: a gift well-earned, Where joy and gratitude have turned."

"Luis and his crew did a marvellous job replacing our old wooden deck with Trex. They started when they said they would, paid meticulous attention to detail, and finished in good time. Luis kept me well-informed of their plans and listened carefully to my input. I would highly recommend LM Coatings for this kind of work in the future."

"First and foremost, they showed up to give me an estimate. Something that seems to be exceedingly difficult to get people to do. Second, excellent communication before & during the project. Our deck of unknown age/origin, which had an interesting selection of mushroom or some other fungus growing on it (along with some spray painted Greek blue from the previous owners), needed to go. The job was done quickly over the course of 2 days; tear down & build. The site was left clean and they also moved my grills/furniture back up to the deck after completion. Great guys to deal with. We'll likely enlist their services again."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

The cost to install a bow window can range from $1,500 to $15,000, with a national average of $3,900. The total price includes materials, which can cost between $1,200 and over $14,000, and labor, which typically adds $300 to $1,900. Several factors influence the final cost, including the window's size and frame material. For example, vinyl frames are the most budget-friendly option, while wood frames are more expensive. Custom features or energy-efficient upgrades will also increase the price. For comparison, a bay window installation typically costs between $1,000 and $7,000.

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.

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.
