"Aldridge Enterprises provided meticulous customer and technical services throughout the deck building process. I conducted a best value proposal evaluation to select Aldridge over three other quotes from reputable contractors. Aldridge, represented by its owner, Fred, provided a comprehensive, fair, and fixed-price quote that exceeded my expectations in terms of value. Aldridge used much higher quality products than competitors quoted for a much more reasonable overall cost. Sure, I could have paid more for less, but why would anybody do that? My homework paid off and Aldridge further proved that I made a very wise decision selecting them as my contractor. Fred is the consummate professional and remained fair, focused, and flexible from the initial quote to completion. He quickly earned my trust and confidence and retained it throughout the process. The two on-site “craftsmen” who built the deck, Justin and Mike, were the most professional, technically competent, and thorough contractors I have ever hired. From digging the footing holes to final County inspection, Justin and Mike maintained an exceptionally professional decorum, kept me informed of progress, and represented the absolute best in technical and customer service. I could not be happier with the final product and the entire project was incredibly successful and pleasurable throughout. Amazing work Aldridge Enterprises! Thank you!"

"Two By Four Construction did an excellent job designing and building the front porch that my wife and I always wanted. The crew showed up as promised and were prepared. They kept the worksite clean and safe. Gary kept us up-to-date on the work and deliveries. that he had scheduled. The quality of the work was well beyond our expectations. I would highly recommend Two By Four Construction LLC."

"From the first phone call to obtain a quote to the install everything went great. We have a small walk-in-closet in our master bedroom. The Closets By Design professional took a different approach to the project then other vendors providing slightly more storage. The back wall was used for the “double-hung” installation which freed up space to allow us to easily walk in to the closet. A custom closet is a luxury and can be an expensive proposition. The Closets by Design staff and installer were very punctual (very important to me) and professional throughout the process. The final product was worth the expense."

Customers say: Quick response

"I have been using Gary Ryder for home repairs, maintenance and improvements for many years, and in 4 different homes that I have owned. He has done everything I have ever needed done. When asked about his rates, he will quote you an hourly rate. When asked how long it will take, his estimate is spot on! Just a few things done in the past are a beautiful custom deck build, tongue and grove ceiling on my cottage, and shelving installations. I also had him do things for my grandchildren such as trampoline set up, gas powered ATV assembly that was shipped in a box (Gary got that assembled and running under his time estimate), and built a tree house with electricity! I love his integrity, honesty and reliability. He is a Jack Of All Trades, and I trust his referrals if something comes up that he is not licensed or equipped for. Always my first call for anything, thank you Gary Ryder! Highly recommended!"

"Good job done. My only disappointment was that after charging me for materials in the estimate they came without paint and had to use my old left over paint from 1995 when the house was built. I said itâ  s old and not good but he insisted that itâ  s good and that what they used. I hope heâ  s right but time will tell"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

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.

Yes, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.

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.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.
