"Vic turned a flood nightmare into a home we love. Our house flooded while we were out of town and we spent almost a year fighting insurance, only to get sent a list of their 1 star contractors. Then I found Vic and from our first call I knew he was our guy. He was always on time, kept us in the loop and got right to work. Most of all he's trustworthy. We were living in a hotel and never once worried about our house. His whole crew was great too, especially our super nice flooring guy. We went with every design choice he suggested because he has a great eye and no corners were cut. We moved back in when my fiancée was 6 months pregnant and were blown away. He stuck with us patiently even when we were going crazy. He even got us a baby shower gift and we truly see him as family now. We'll recommend Johnson and Sons to everyone. Thank you Vic!"

"JJ Construction did a very professional job on a complex load bearing wall removal. The bid was accurate and the job completed in two weeks, as planned. The work site was kept clean. The workmanship on tying in the hardwood floors was excellent. I highly recommend Khoa and his team."

"The owner CJ who I had a pleasure of working with was very personable and responsive. I have nothing but high praise for him. His estimate for my work was on par or better than the other estimates I got. He was able to accommodate me into his schedule earlier as I was on a time crunch. His communication thru out the work was fantastic. He explained everything and seemed to have done an excellent job with the project. I would hire him again and recommend him to anyone. Thanks CJ for the great experience."

"Ballard McFarlane of GMG Construction is an amazing Contractor. He generated awesome ideas, his respectful and clean team showed up every day, they finished my project on time, and even came in under bid! His amazing communication skills helped me resolve several problems with the contractor that did work before him. It seemed like he and his team were always going the extra mile. I found Ballard because of his incredible reviews and I hope to leave him my own. I wish I had known about Ballard McFarlane / GMG Construction earlier! Thanks so much Ballard, Jane and team!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

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.

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.
