"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

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

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.

Professionals charge between $60 and $95 per hour to install ornamental porch columns. The amount of time they need varies based on the condition of the porch, whether they need to remove old columns, and if there is any damage to your porch's structure. This cost can increase if more issues come up during the installation process.

Installing an ornamental or decorative porch column takes around three to five hours. Structural columns take longer because your pro has to install a jack to hold up the roof while switching the column out. If there's any structural damage, it can add several days to the timeline to repair the damage.
