"Ratliff construction did an amazing job on fixing my exterior door frame and a hole in my wall. They also painted for me, and they did an incredible job. It looks like absolutely perfect. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who needs any work done on their house."

"Poor customer service & prices. Clay kept putting me off several times & I had to bug him to get a new quote. It went as follows: I got an estimate. Then he came & took the measurements. Then I was trying to adjust & reduce the flooring project to fit my budget. Then the quote on the half project wasnt even close to half the price- they increased their charges. I wasn't happy with that. Then I adjusted my project again to better fit my budget & asked for a new quote. He put me off then never contacted me again, just dropped the ball. So I had to start all over with getting quotes. Thankfully I found a WAY better option the 2nd time around (Best Budget Flooring): An actual flooring Co with a building & a website & public reviews- so there's actual accountability. They price-matched me a better product than I was going to buy separately. They did the ENTIRE job for me for CHEAPER & I didn't have to do any of the things myself. And they got rolling on it QUICKLY."

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.

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

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.
