"Leo, Benjamin, and Victor did an excellent job of building a deck, bench, guard rails and steps. They also built a storage shed and canoe shelter. All were done professionally with sturdy good workmanship. The company was a joy to work with with honest, careful work. Highly reccommend."

"These guys are the best! Hard workers and quality work. The fence looks great and I am more than happy with the work that was completed. I asked them to clean up and they took care of it with no issues. They got the whole job done in 1 day. I have more fence in the back that needs to get replaced and I will call them later in the year to replace them for me."

"Johnny and Cynthia went above and beyond for us. Unbeknownst to us, our property was in an area that required additional permitting from the county. The folks at Gaspar Services not only did the work but they also were instrumental in managing the permits and approvals that were needed for the project. They could have left us to deal with it but they did not do so and they stayed with us every step of the way. I can't recommend them highly enough. Plus - the work that was done was beautiful and they did everything possible to restore areas that had to be scraped, including replanting those areas with grass."

"I can highly recommend J Plus Construction after the excellent work they did in transforming my wildly overgrown grass into a beautifully trimmed lawn surrounding my house. Two men worked tirelessly for approximately two hours and did everything I needed to be done with care and attention to my requests. I highly recommend this company."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

You can enclose an open carport, however, there are several things to consider before opting to do so. You'll want to check local building codes and permit requirements before proceeding to make sure it’s legal. While you can sometimes stick-frame a carport enclosure, pre-fab kits are also available. Remember that you'll likely need to meet concrete slab regulations and provide lighting inside the structure. Both of which could substantially drive up costs.
