"Jack Fox is a highly skilled carpenter. We hired his business to add wainscot up our staircase and replace the plain newel post with a decorative box newel. He executed our vision perfectly. I highly recommend Refresh Decking and Jack Fox because he will deliver quality work and you will be entirely satisfied."

"LM Coatings is an excellent company who offers a variety of state-of-the-art workmanship. They recently replaced newly installed bathroom door with frame and two additional panel doors in master bedroom and on 1st level bath. Upon completion, each door was professionally painted which turned out beautifully. Luis Mora, owner .... staff are highly trained professionals who thrives on attention to detail. I am very pleased with the work they have done for me and will be calling on them again in the very near future. If you are looking for a great contractor, I would highly recommend LM Coatings. They provide quality work, fair price, great housekeeping, good customer relation, respectful and polite."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Building a barndominium means converting a barn into a house. Barndominiums are becoming popular as spacious and stylish alternatives to typical housing structures. Old barns that become houses traditionally consist of wooden construction. However, newer structures, such as pole barns, often contain metal exteriors and roofs. Converting a metal outbuilding into a house presents an excellent opportunity to create a barndominium from metal.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

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.

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

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.
