"Demar stole my people's money, stripped the house, and disappeared. He's unreliable and appears to not have the credentials that he talked so highly of. My folks reached out to another contractor recently to try and get the house done... While assessing this mess, the contractor mentioned a guy who did a really bad job on his cabinets. Come to find out, that guy was actually Demar! I do not recommend this business AT ALL. Save yourself the headache and go with a REAL professional."

I am a self employed Veteran. I can perform most handyman jobs, ceramic tile, cabinetry, furniture building, and refinishing, as well as finish carpentry. I can paint and hang/finish sheet rock, although that is not my absolute preference. I contracted in Tulsa, Oklahoma, for 12 years with many of the most prestigious builders in that area. My family and I moved here so I could work for the Salem VA Medical Center as a distribution supervisor. After 3 years of the Covid-19 pandemic, I have completed building our furniture in our home as well as completed many custom features to our home in my spare time. I've decided to pursue my passion for building and helping people. I am a stickler for detail and work alone, so I won't be parading people through your property. I will be upfront and decline any project beyond my means. I have a large shop at my residence for any projects that would be appropriate for that environment. My goal is to create satisfied customers. I will communicate and show up as agreed. I have photos available for my latest projects.

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.
