"I recently hired Marvin for a deck repair job which I have to say did an amazing job! He called right away made, provided an estimate, and completed the job in just under a day. Being in my position he was affordable and will definitely rehire for other projects. I highly recommend his services to anyone else needing handyman repairs. Thanks again :)"

"From the moment of our first contact with Integrated Outdoor Designs to the completion of a complicated project, three months later, everything was handled seamlessly with great professionalism, efficiency, and excellence. They designed a product that more than met our needs, cleared all our documents with our POA, always announced when they were coming and came and worked efficiently and cleaned up afterward. We are now enjoying a great enhancement of our property. Our project included expanding our deck, building a stairway, building a garden house and building a fire pit circular area."

"Choosing G Construction to remodel our business was one of the best decisions we made. From the very beginning, they treated our project like it truly mattered to them. They listened to our ideas, paid attention to every little detail, and brought our vision to life better than we imagined. The entire team was honest, hardworking, respectful, and incredibly easy to work with. They kept us informed every step of the way, showed up when they said they would, and the quality of their work speaks for itself. You can tell they genuinely care about the people they work with and take pride in what they do. Walking into our newly remodeled business every day makes us smile. We are so grateful for everything G Construction did for us, and we couldn't recommend them more. If you're looking for a company that treats your project like their own and delivers amazing results, G Construction is the one to call. Thank you for making our dream space a reality!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

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. 

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

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.
