"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."

"HR is Harold. Very professional and easy to work with. My 20-year-old wood deck had to be resurfaced with Trex, with new railings, three weeks from when we first spoke. Done with week to spare even after having to replace materials that supplier damaged on delivery. Harold made sure the damaged materials were quickly replaced. He texted me with updates, including during the job, and always replied quickly to my texts. His crew, brothers P. and J., did excellent work as a team. They proceeded with original materials that were undamaged, then finished promptly when the rest were delivered. The result is beautiful! I would recommend him and them any time, and would consider them for other work when I have some."

"I needed some repairs to my deck. I got Jonathan's name from Angie's list and called. He came to my house within an hour. He replaced the railing and quite a few boards on my deck and now it's as solid as a rock. His work is excellent and he is a honest man. A quality that is hard to find these days. I now feel comfortable knowing that if I need anything I know who I can call."

"It was clear and evident that Fred was experienced and knowledgable when he came to my home to discuss what I wanted and gave me a reasonable estimate. Upon signing a contract, Justin and Mike were tasked with the build out. They were on site at the times they said they would be, extremely personable and educated within their field of work. They were also extremely hospitable in allowing me to watch them show their expertise as a learning experience. I would most certainly hire Fred and his crew again and highly recommend!"

"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."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

Building a barndominium means converting a barn into a house. Barndominiums are becoming popular as spacious and stylish alternatives to typical housing structures. Old barns that become houses traditionally consist of wooden construction. However, newer structures, such as pole barns, often contain metal exteriors and roofs. Converting a metal outbuilding into a house presents an excellent opportunity to create a barndominium from metal.

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.

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.
