"We got several quotes for our basement finishing project. We ended up going with Ray and his team. I'm glad we did. He communicated well, worked within our budget, and did great work that was done in a timely manner. I've already recommended his services to a few people. We plan on hiring him again for other projects as they arise."

"Mr. Turner was very nice and listened to my needs. He is a contractor that specializes in large projects but didn't hesitate to offer me his services in regards to my smaller project needs. His prices were extremely fair and the attention to detail in his work was second to none. I have already had him start an estimate to remodel my kitchen and have already recommended him to my neighbors. THANK YOU DE Turner & Sons! You will always get my business!"

"Went wonderful with the contractor. They were great to work with and helped us navigate a very troublesome insurance company. They drove from northern Virginia to silver spring to do the work as well, not any easy task and a long commute in traffic. They were just great."

"I needed a bathroom exhaust fan replaced, the motor had died, and needed the duct work leading outside to the connecting vent looked at, there had been some condensation forming on the fan and ceiling. I was immediately contacted about my project to setup a quote. Jeiser was on time for the quote, and he was able to do the job the next day. Jeiser did a great job, was punctual, and cleaned up the work area. He replaced the fan, cleaned the ductwork leading outside, and replaced the exterior vent. I highly recommend him. I will certainly be using JANI Construction for any future projects."

"Mr. Smith did an amazing job power washing and cleaning my deck. When he finished it looked brand new and if it had just been built. He was extremely friendly and professional. I spoke to Mr. Smith on a Tuesday morning and he was at my house that same afternoon to look at the job and quote a price. The work was completed on Thursday of the same week. I highly recommend this contractor. 5 stars is not a high enough rating for this contractor (Mr. Smith) Douglas Hall"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.
