"Wow! I am so pleased with my new deck! Chris, Kayden and Austin went above and beyond to make sure everything was just perfect. This was a difficult project that involved lots of digging up large basalt rocks, hauling the old deck debris--complete with hot tub--down a treacherous narrow path and lots of steps. Not to mention hauling equipment like jack hammers and cement mixers up the the same path. Chris, Kayden and Austin were professional, punctual, and personable as well. It was a pleasure working with this excellent crew, and I would definitely recommend them and their company, Dynamic Decks. "

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.

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.

You can use a nail to find ceiling joists, but it’s not as reliable as a stud finder, and you’ll end up with lots of small holes in your ceiling. If the nail hits a joist, you'll feel increased resistance. Mark the spot with a pencil. Repeat this process regularly along the ceiling, 16 or 24 inches apart, until you've mapped out the joist locations.

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.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet.
