"We recently had construction work done on our home by D&D siding and construction and are thrilled with the results. We had extensive deterioration on our dormers. Not only did D&D construction replace the damaged material they determined what caused the initial damage and took steps to insure that this reoccur. Their communication regarding the process was clear from start to finish and the workmanship was topnotch. I would highly recommend for any building or repairs."

"G. Ramirez Construction is definitely a top rated company! Ramirez is a Man of God and very trustworthy! Day one the deck was down in no time. I actually had our deck removed, lower part of the house repaired and the sunroom re-done. The deck and the lower part of the house was rotting as well as the sunroom floor. I was giving a copy of every detail that was going to take place, including the gas and electric company's approval in order for certain jobs to be started. The time frame for the completion of the job was two weeks and YES THE JOB WAS DONE IN TWO WEEKS. The weather and a scheduled surgery didn't stop this crew from making that two week deadline! From start to finish this crew worked very hard and long hours during the extreme heat. After six estimates I was drawn back to G. Ramirez Construction. I am so Grateful and Thankful I chose this company! They also blessed us with a few improvements we didn't ask for. This crew treated us and our home with the upmost respect!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

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.

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.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.
