"An ice storm on 2/01/23 caused a very large tree to fall on my 12 x 20 storage building. Gary and his crew restored multiple damages to a like new condition. His professional crew started early and worked without stopping except for lunch. I would have no hesitation in giving their work a 10+. I definitely will use them again if or when needed. To top it off, they did the work at a fair price, exactly as quoted and in a timely manner. To say the very least, Gary and his crew were certainly not afraid of hard work! Thanks, guys!"

"It's very hard to get a roofing company to do a smaller building. We have a 16/40 ft building, and need decking work and shingles, it was leaking. Jose was very polite and answered all my questions regarding what needed to be done. He even answered questions on our existing Metal Roof, and he eased my worries on it. They did a fantastic job on the Portable Building, and did it in a day, Made sure everything was cleaned afterwards, I would highly recommend anyone to J&R Roofing."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

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. 

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.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

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.
