"yes Victor was great, came out quick for estimate, once agreed on he started next day. Only b/c of cement work did it take 2 days. He replaced rotten wood siding and placed metal support post on storm damaged carport. Victor is good at his work, very detail oriented and conscientious worker."

"I recently had to have my kitchen repaired after a frozen pipe at the end of December 2022. It took me months to find an honest, reputable and ethical contractor. Gratefully I was referred to Danny Did It. I am so grateful for that referral. Danny and his crew are all some of the kindest and most dedicated contractors I have met. He treated my small job as if he were remodeling a million-dollar house. His communication was amazing. When he said he or his crew were going to be at my home at a certain time they were and if he was running late he always called or communicated with me. I appreciate that he respected my time. I appreciate his laid back and patient attitude. I had to delay the job several times and Danny was very understanding when I told him, and reassured me that he would be ready when everything got sorted out. For someone who was going through their first, and I hope last, water damage repair and learning how to navigate homeowner's insurance claims his reassurances made a huge difference to me. His attention to detail showed in the quality of his work, and his choices were always spot on with what I wanted. This is because he took the time to get to know me, my style and personality. The young men he hired to help him shared his same level of attention to detail and desire to do the job well. I also enjoyed watching him teach these young men what it means to be a good contractor, to take pride in their work and how to do the work right. After hearing all of the horror stories that my friends have told me about their experiences, I am so happy that I found Danny Did It. He made what has been a very stressful situation much easier by being the type of person and business owner that can be counted on. I highly recommend Danny Did It for any home repairs or remodels that you need. He is the best."

"David and his father, Jose, were outstanding! They arrived on time, were exceptionally professional and I couldn’t be happier with the end result. There were no surprises, explaining every step of what they were doing and answering any question I had. I would (and likely will) use J&D Woodwork again without a doubt!"

"Blake did an excellent and thorough job. We had a leak that he diagnosed and fixed which ended up being a roof issue. He repaired some exterior window framing and also installed new tile floors. He is very detail oriented and his work is impeccable. I have already referred him to neighbors and will definitely use him again."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

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.

There are both temporary and permanent ways to enclose a carport. If you’re looking to enclose your carport for the winter, a canvas enclosure could do the trick. It won’t be as protective as a permanent structure, but it can offer some protection from elements like snow, rain, and wind. For a permanent enclosure, you can add extra walls, add a new vertical roof, or a lean-to addition on one side of the structure.

If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.
