"Artica Construction is the best in the business, they go above and beyond when it comes to their clients wants and needs. My fiancé and I recently moved into a new home and wanted to make some changes to the space. We contacted Artica Construction and received a quote for new flooring throughout the entire house, adding in a master bathroom, a back porch, and additional room added to the back side of the house, as well as a new metal roof. They were able to get back to us in a timely manner and began working on our home. Their team was efficient, responsive, and well organized throughout the whole process. I would recommend using Artica Construction to anyone looking for top tier work! We will continue to use them for projects in the future!! Great Contractors that are passionate about their work!!!"

"Brett, Roy, and Joe were the easiest contractors to work with I have ever hired. Our project was slated for approximately two weeks and within the project there were a few unforeseen adjustments that pushed back the completion date to two weeks and two days. During the days they were here if I ever had a question or concern about anything they always addressed it with confidence and never once did I feel that they were tired, or fed up with my questions or concerns. This was hard work and the guys worked hard. Our old tub/shower, vanity, commode, and vinyl floors were removed and replaced with all new shower pan, shower tile walls, niches, commode, vanity, crown and baseboard trim, vanity faucet with reworked plumbing/draining, shower fixtures/plumbing/draining, and tile floor. The laundry room design moved the plumbing, drain, and dryer vent across the other side of the room and the guys knocked that out with ease. New tile floor, new washer and dryer Installed, and baseboard trim in the laundry room as well. We have a couple more bathrooms to remodel and I know who I'm contacting again. We had 4 different contractors/companies give us quotes and All Pro Builders was middle of the road on price + the reviews on here were good, and meeting Brett in person made us feel comfortable in hiring. We took it upon ourselves to buy all of the material and Brett gave the labor quote. Grand total for both rooms material and labor approximately $12000. The original scope of work quote was $4600. Additional charges as the scope of work changed...$200 glass shower door install, $75 for rework of bathroom plumbing/drain inset to wall because of the type of vanity we bought, $600 for the reworked plumbing/drain, electrical for washer and dryer moved to a different side of the room. And additional plumbing fittings, forms, framing, etc. at $122. This brought our total labor charge to just under $5600. Job well done by All Pro Builders!!! We will hire them again for sure."

"I was very pleased from the beginning to the end. One important factor for me was communication. They communicated with me what to expect, who was doing the different tasks of the job and were open to all questions. The workers were respectful of my property and did not mind that I would observe the tasks being completed."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

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.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

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.
