"These are the people you want building your deck! They are incredibly easy to work with and communicate throughout the project to ensure they are meeting your expectations. They keep their worksite clean and, hands down, are the best at what they do, paying attention to the smallest details. We couldnâ t be happier! Thank you!"

"Integrety decking is a great company. Tony Braker was our sales person and was super helpful in our color decisions. Tyler, Drew, Dacota, the crew that built our new deck were amazing. They were very professional and courteous and they did outstanding work. The Duxback rain shedding product is awesome."

"I was shocked at how quick Peter was able to get me on his schedule for my project. Within a week of me calling the project had been completed. He was conscious of my neighbors and not disrupting the flow of the small space. He was able to remove a fence with no additional damage to the yard, cleaned up and hauled away all the debris. This project was seamless and that’s because of how Peter handled it."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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 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.

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.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them.
