"We hired Mr. Luper to construct a deck in front of our shed. We are very pleased with the quality of the work. Mr. Luper was great to work with and provided us with updates as needed. The deck was completed in the time frame as promised. The cost of the project was very reasonable. We will call him again for other projects!"

"I can't say enough good things about A-Z Creative Contractors. Alex and his crew were simply the best. Not only did they do a spectacular job, but they really hit on the small details that are unseen when the job is complete. The crew was fast, and getting my disabled wife back into the house was a huge concern for him. Our new kitchen was a really involved job as there was more termite and water-damaged wood than good, and NOTHING in the house was flat, level, or square. Through all that, they transformed everything into something to be very proud of. Excellent price, fast work, and superior quality. What's not to like? Also, Axl, his foreman, gets a shout-out because he is just a great guy."

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.

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.

Installing an ornamental or decorative porch column takes around three to five hours. Structural columns take longer because your pro has to install a jack to hold up the roof while switching the column out. If there's any structural damage, it can add several days to the timeline to repair the damage.

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.
