"Need a deck? Covered porch? Whatever you do, DO NOT hire Lonely Mountain Craftsmen, LLC. They did not pull permits with the county, as required. The excuse was ?we didn?t realize we had to have a permit?. Didn?t pull / request electrical permit/inspection until I requested it from them. Still in process. Didn?t follow code, had to look up TN code myself and ask to redo porch railings. Did not want to fix anything that was done incorrectly. Would make excuses and point blame. What they did do? Showed up late, left early Made excuses for delays- so many excuses were used- we joke about which one it will be each time. Ruined our gutters, pieces of brand new siding. Asked for money before the job was completed"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

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.

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.

Yes, building a screened-in porch on an existing deck is absolutely an option, although there are many factors to consider when adding a screened-in porch to a deck. You or the general contractor you hire will need to add a frame to a deck without a previous screen to keep it safe from damage. You’ll also want to work together to make sure your new porch matches your existing home style.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors.
