"I bought a old house that for whatever reason, did not have a pantry door I'm not into open shelving so for 3 months I shopped around to see if I could get a door for the pantry. After going to both Home Improvement companies and a custom door retailer, I learned because of the dimensions of the doorway (narrower than the standard) this was going to be a huge challenge. I did not want to remove my door jamb which was in great shape to hang a door. I called KW company early one morning and by noon Kristin was at my door. She looked at the pantry and told me she could build one. And she did exactly that the very next day! She took a piece of thinner piece of wood and cut it to fit perfectly) without taking off my door frame. She didn't charge me a arm and leg to do it. I love my door and show everyone who comes over. I tell them a Woman built this! Prices are reasonable and they are professional. I will call them for my next project."
"J&V Construction was referred to me from a friend. Johnathan show up on time, recommend specific repairs for my problem and fixed it within record time. Johnathan was very professional and polite. I would recommend him to all my friends."
"Amanda was great! Had a major crack in the kitchen window from either hail or a rock that spread really quickly. She replaced it, and you can’t tell anything ever happened! Very precise and takes her time which I appreciate."
There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.
Yes, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.
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.
New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.
There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.
