"CLC did an amazing job on our deck. They had the answers to all our questions. They pay attention to detail. We had several passerby’s ask for their card. They finished the job in a decent timeframe, considering the weather. We will have them do any projects for us in the future. We are very pleased with our new deck! Thank you CLC."

"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

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.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.

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.
