"I hired Brandon to pour concrete for a retaining support for a rock facing on my block foundation and put a new roof on an out building. All work was done very professionally, on time, and at a very reasonable cost. I would highly recommend him. I am using him to put down new flooring in the near future."

"This contractor did an excellent job replacing a rotted wood beam on my screened porch. After removing the rotted post additional rotting was discovered in the support joists. He and his team made several suggestions as to how to repair. He provided cost estimates for the different options. Once an option was chosen the team went straight to work completing the repairs. The team was very courteous and explained how the repairs were progressing during the different stages."

"We hired Marci to do some drywall repair. It sustained water damage as a result of a water leak. From day one Marci did not disappoint. He stayed in constant contact, quoted a great price, showed up to do the work when he said he would and did Oustanding work! Marci was also very professional and respectful to our guests. We would absolutely recommend him to others looking to have projects completed. Kevin-Sevierville"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

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.

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.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.
