"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."

"What an awesome experience. We received our quote quickly and deck was replaced with beautiful composite and black railing within a timely period! We would highly recommend this company. Our home has increased in value, but more importantly, a new friendship was made with Seth and his talented crew."

Small jobs welcome

"These people are very busy, based on the time from contacting them to do the work and when they could actually get started. When they did arrive, it was a very good job and I am like many others, we would hire them again! The only reason we didn't rate 5 out of 5 had to do with the workers seemed a little bit rushed toward the end of the rock column building. They had a steady light rain the last several hours in the afternoon, so was probably the reason. They used quality materials for our porch remodel and it looks professional."

"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

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

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.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.

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.
