"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."

"I really don’t leave much in line of reviews but felt this warranted one. We contacted Tim of 3 Nails Grace and he came out promptly and took necessary time to listen to needs and wants. He gave good advice along with suggestions for us to think about. He then worked out a cost estimate and received it quickly. We had a budget we needed or wanted to stay in as put out a lot of money prior. We accepted the quote and the crew showed up about a week ahead of schedule which was fantastic. Once they began their no. It went quickly and the crew did a wonderful job. They came out a couple times as needed to recheck where some bugs were coming in without any issues and recheck a couple things. We ca. it say enough about Tim and his crew just a great bunch of men doing a great job and staying in budget. We will use them again and Highly recommend them to anyone who needs some work done. Their pricing was more than reasonable and very professional all the way through. Thanks 3 Nails Grace"

"Rick was quick to respond. gave a great estimate put in the fence in two days. Always on time and cleaned up after the work was done. Highly recommend it."
This is the Island Home side entrance that we built.  There was no side entrance or door there in the beginning. The house was a drab gray and the wood was rotten.  We replaced the entire back wall of the house, the downstairs bedroom, bathroom, and laundry room, and created a sitting room, where this entrance is. Built a deck on as well, that was later painted blue.
This is one photo of the completed remodel.  This is flooring, painting, tiling, and commode and sink install.
This is the completed project with the owners decor. This view is from the entrance door to the enlarged shower.
This is the completed project for the bathroom remodel.
This is the kitchen completed on the sink side, where the refrigerator and new sink, counter tops, cabinets and appliances are located, along with the tiled wall, backsplash and the installation of the bamboo flooring.

"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

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

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.

Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.
