"Randy Hudson did a great job of repairing/replacing a rotted deck post on my dad?s deck.  He was very good at assessing the damage and work necessary to correct the problem.  He was good about explaining the process to us so everyone understood what was to be expected.  Randy was very friendly and completed the work as planned and scheduled.  He also did a great job of installing new lattice for the deck skirting as part of the project.  I thought the price charged was fair and reasonable and we have asked him to give us an estimate to pressure wash and paint the deck and other house trim.

"Freddie and JR did an excellent job on the project. They also took time to inspect the roof and are working up an estimate. Both Freddie and JR were very courteous and professional and I would highly recommend them if you’re looking for handyman service or roof replacement/repair."

"I had a very old school almost cardboard ceiling in both my bathrooms. Very 50's style and completely outdated and frankly falling down. Proper Contracting was able to come out to me and work around my schedule as a busy working mom, which was the first sign that I had called the right people. Their specialist came out and was probably the most professional and personably person I've encounter recently, honestly if they had not been there to do a job I would have had them stay for dinner! Not only were they able to fix the ceiling but I decided to use them for the entire bathroom remodels. They have an amazing staff that helped with the entire design process to make my bathrooms beautiful but also functional keeping my kids in mind. I can not express my gratitude and over-all thrill with this company. Not at all what I expected from a contractor, definitely felt more like family. If your not calling them then you might as well not bother at all!!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.

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.
