"He was so polite and started the day I hired him, he changed clothes cam back with a van and it was on. He actually went beyond what I wanted, I simply forgot about walls that need repair, but I'm glad he did them. Our house is definitely ready to go on the market."

"Excellent work, professional, punctual and very friendly. Purchase and installation of large dog door in wall plus made a platform for ease of entering and existing for my short legged fur babies. Will definitely use again for future projects. We (Ellie, Pascal and me) sure appreciate your great work. Thanks again."

"Anthony was very quick to respond, worked up the estimate quickly and was easy to communicate with. He was building a fence for us and the weather was not cooperating (lots of rain). He gave me daily updates on what to expect and he was a delight to work with. The fence he built is quality and beautiful! Excellent job. Will be hiring him again!"

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.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

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.

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.
