"Two level deck needed minor surface rot repair, power washing, and staining. Flores Enterprises LLC quoted and completed the work in the same business week. Attention to detail on staining is excellent. Provided photos of repairs and completed work and kept me informed on any issues which arose. Would definitely hire again."

"Perfectly! Jerry and his team came early within the timeframe he specified and was able to quickly remove the wall oven. On another day, he came back and was able to easily make carpentry modifications to enlarge the wall oven cutout. When the new wall oven arrived, it slipped in perfectly. They've done such great work, I've hired them to refurbish my very large and long front wood deck. I'm very happy with their work. They are always on time and their pricing is reasonable."

"Aldridge Enterprises was hired to rebuild my 28-year old deck. They started earlier than originally expected, which was actually a good thing for me. The crew was friendly and expert at building decks. The craftsmanship was excellent. The price was reasonable even with a few small surprises that increased the price slightly."

"I had a very great experience from Daniel my sales rep all the way through the to the team that scheduled the install. The crew knocked my roof out all in a days work and my.project manager Omar kept me in the loop and showed me photos of the progress and they were very thorough, they replaced my rotted wood and even though I had to pay for some additional wood it was honest and necessary and I'm glad I sent the extra money to get this all done correctly. They don't cut corners and you get what you pay for with this company."

"Brian is easy to work with, and very talented as a carpenter. He designed custom built in book cases for us that look amazing, and we have since engaged him to complete two other projects in our home. Can’t go wrong."

"Bob, from Two by Four Construction, was one of four companies from whom we sought estimates. Bob's estimate for the work was significantly less than the other three companies, all of whom were dedicated flooring companies.  Additionally, 2 x 4 was the only company of the four who came prepared to estimate the cost of converting the stairs from carpet to hardwood, even though I was specific in my estimate request for that work. All of the others wanted to have a contractor come out separately, and they only raised that at the time of their visit to estimate the work.  So, Bob got extra points for being prepared.  Bob also provided us with ideas on selecting the riser finish. We weren't sure whether we wanted stain or white risers. Bob discussed with us and explained exactly  how they would accomplish the white risers. 
The work was accomplished over 4 days.  On day one, the guys arrived and replaced all of the upstairs carpet with hardwood, and removed all of the carpet, handrail and plywood from the stairs, taking it down to the 2 x 6's. On Day 2, The carpenters completed the stairs, and the refinish crew sanded and stained  and poly'ed the living room floor, which was away from the stairs.  On day 3, they returned and applied the finish coat of polyurethane. After inspection, we decided that the living room stain was a slightly lighter shade than the surrounding floors, so we asked Bob to darken the floor. He had the crew out here today and they restained it with a darker stain to better match the other floors. 
Two By Four Construction did an outstanding job on all three parts of the job, including the upstairs replacing carpet with hardwood, converting the stairs from carpet to hardwood with white risers, and refinishing the living room floor.
 We are very pleased with the quality of the work, the teams were very responsive, prompt, courteous, and left the house in immaculate condition.

"Tristan showed up promptly, described what he wanted to do, and was a great sounding board for future projects. We will be using Soss' Services and Tristan for many more projects to come. I would highly recommend at least giving them a call for a quote for any housing needs."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

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. 

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.
