"Mr. Ortiz and his crew installed a 300 square foot deck for us, and the work is great. He explained everything, gave options, tips about taking care of the deck, and put in the extra effort to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. If given the opportunity to hire Ortiz Wood Carpentry again, we would gladly request his proposal again."

"Vasilly had to change the day/time for the job he bid, but he called & rescheduled agreeing to come on a SUNDAY morning. He made it that day; on time - a pleasant surprise. It took him about 3 & 1/2 hours to build & mount the railing in the garage. This single railing installed in our garage looks great (nicer than we'd anticipated & will serve us very well (safety assistance after surgery required this addition). We were concerned it might look really 'weird' but the materials Vasilly chose along with his skillful installation has totally eliminated that concern. Total construction & materials: $400."

"David Jackson and his crew did an outstanding job for us painting our home and repairing a significant portion of the hardy plank and framing under our front porch. The crew was professional, friendly and willing to spend time answering questions. David also personally took the time to explain concerns he saw with the house and made some recommendations to us going forward. I'd highly recommend hiring Millenium."

"Mike was extremely professional and had great attention to detail. He was able to put me on his schedule quickly and completed the job within a few days. Mike was very knowledgeable with the types of materials, products, and options available. We worked out the perfect price point that was within my budget, which was a lot more affordable than every other option in town. He worked rain or shine, has an efficient process down, and works with a good team, who were also trustworthy and professional. Iâ d highly recommend Mike to any friends and family looking for fence work."

"Prompt estimate was within my budget. They were ready to start right away. They work fast to get old shingles off (three layers) had to replace some plywood and 2x8's.They worked in the rain until it turned into hail. Nice people, neat and organized. They were careful with my possessions. I'd hire them again."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.

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.

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

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.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.
