"My interaction with this company, represented by Gordon Rudd, was limited to a site visit only. Work that I thought might be needed turned out to be unnecessary. When I called the company, I reached Gordon directly, and he was able to stop by the next morning, right at the time we scheduled. He was very helpful in explaining what I was seeing. He didn't charge me anything for the very helpful visit."

"Sam and his crew did an excellent job on our bathroom remodel. Sam worked with us to get our project closer to our budget. Jeremy and Derrick were very professional, polite, and always cleaned up after they were done for the day. Jeremy went above and beyond finding us a door last minute and finding hardware for our tub that matched. We would definitely hire SKC again."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Generally completed within a couple of hours, depending on damage extent.

Cupping and bowing are both types of wood warping, but they affect the board in different ways. Cupping happens when the edges of a board curl upward or downward, creating a concave or convex shape across its width. Conversely, bowing is when the board curves along its length, forming a gentle arc. 

Yes, unresolved damage can decrease property integrity and market value.

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.
