"Mike Kinsley was highly recommended and for good reason! He responded to our initial query quickly, came to look at the basement soon after that (while respecting social distancing during COVID), and gave a thorough estimate and honest possible start date. He and his crew worked quickly and skillfully to revitalize our basement after sewage damage, including: building new walls; protecting and sealing walls from future moisture issues; repairing pantry shelves; adding chair rail molding; sanding and finishing stairs; sealing off an unused window; and painting the walls, floors, and ceilings of a bathroom, pantry, laundry room, and rec room. Work was finished within the time estimated and we were grateful for his care around health and safety during COVID. In addition to doing quick and excellent work, Mike was a kind, considerate, and reliable person. If we ever need anything else done, I know who we are calling."

"David and Josh are the best! They have done multiple projects around our home. I would highly recommend this company for any job large or small. They are very professional, honest, hard working and meticulous and the costs are reasonable. They totally understand your needs and what they have to do to accomplish the task at hand. We have hired them to installed exterior and interior doors, correct some small plumbing issues, some bathroom remodeling, tree removal. You name it and Im sure they can do it. We will have them back in the spring for additional outdoor work we need done. I can't say enough about much we like and trust this company and the work they have done for us."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

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.

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.
