"We found the services of this company to be exceptional. The work was completed in a quality and timely manner with no short cuts. It was also completed in a respectful fashion with attention to cleaning up the work area and removing all trash. Our work included replacement of an electronic ballast in a light fixture and installation of a ceiling fan. We would definitely use this handyman service again."

"Marcelino Lopez built beautiful 14’ customer cabinets and shelves in our den. He also custom built floor to ceiling cabinets on the garage with a work bench. We told him what we wanted and he made some great suggestions we hadn’t even thought about. He emailed us his CAD drawings and they were great, very detailed. He’s s a perfectionist, his work is high quality, no corners cut, and his prices are very reasonable. He’s always on time and cleans up when he’s through for the day. He has been building cabinets for 30 years, I would highly recommend him and would hire him again! Beautiful work, you won’t be sorry you hired him!"

"They showed when they said they would. Worked well and consistently until the job was completed. They explained what and why they were doing the job in certain ways. They returned to complete additional work as soon as ordered parts arrived. They cleaned up scraps and debris after each day. It was refreshing to have a contractor who was honest and reilyable. Will hire them again when the need arises."

"Darren came out to do an estimate on the day I sent in the request. The fence he and his crew built exceeded my expectations. I also appreciated how they hauled away the old fence. I will hire CenTex Fencing and Outdoor Living again."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.

Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.

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. 

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.
