"We decided to replace the old original balcony off of one of our bedrooms. It was no longer safe and a definite eyesore on the front of our home! I put a request for quotes for our project onto Angi's. Almost immediately, I received a response from Ramos Construction. I set up an appointment with Avram to come and give us a quote. We intended to have at least three to four contractors give us a quote on the balcony rebuild. Avram and his son arrived on time, inspected the old balcony and explained his findings in detail. As we suspected, the old balcony was no longer safe. Avram gave us a couple options and his recommendations. We decided that the option that worked best for us was to demolish the old balcony and build a new balcony. Avram was so knowledgeable and so informative. He was able to show us pictures of other balconies that he had built so that we could understand more fully what he was recommending. It was quite apparent that he was an expert on balconies. He took the time to explain everything completely to us and answer all their questions. The quote he gave us was less than we were expecting and he gave a very reasonable time frame. We were so impressed with his knowledge and his professionalism, that we decided to go ahead and hire him. We saw no need to have any other contractors come give us a quote. Avram was able to start the demolition of the old balcony 2 weeks later. He explained that he does one project at a time and would never leave the current project to start work on another. We like that type of professionalism and we're confident that we would receive that same dedication to our project. We were amazed at how quickly he was able to demolish the old balcony and begin prep on the new one. Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate so there was one day he wasn't able to do much work due to rain. He used that day to pick up extra flooring supplies he would need, due to our asking that the balcony be extended. Even so, he and his sons were able to not only demolish and build a new balcony, but also do some other work for us, all in four days! Incredible!! Our new balcony is not only safe, it is beautiful and definitely adds curb appeal to our home. If you are interested in repairing or rebuilding a deck or balcony, I highly recommend Avram and his sons. They are friendly, informative, professional and fabulous contractors. Avram has been in the business for many years and truly knows what he is doing. He'll take the time to explain and listen to your concerns. Also, he has old fashioned work ethics that you don't always find in today's world."

"Excellent. David and his team worked with me throughout the entire process. A received a prompt call from David after my initial inquiry. He answered all my questions and worked with me through the entire process (even when I had changes.) He was prompt and on-time every day and was even ahead of schedule with my specific time-frame for a big deck. He's a hard worker with attention to detail and exceeded my expectations. From my experience and interactions, he has a lot of integrity. David was accommodating through some of my changes mid-stream and was a pleasure to work with. After reading reviews from others, I can say that I was not disappointed. I would not hesitate to hire Fiber-Coat Deck Co. again for my next project and would recommend them to my friends. Thank you, David. A job well done. The deck looks awesome Work done: remove asphalt shingles, clean up and secure existing nails, lay down and screw in T&G plywood, install multi-layer deck coating (metal lathe, concrete overlay, fiberglass coating, fiberglass sheets, resin, texture, final deck coating/color)."

"After 2 months that Joe and his sraff replaced 2 facia panels, the wooden panel showed signs of crackes. His staff came and replaced one of the panels, 6 feets, free of charge. They were very efficient and profeciaonal and they perfomrd good job in the second time. I recommend Joe and his staff for any wood frame work."

"Still in process, but so far they have been excellent. We have run into a snag with the job the flooring company (it was NOT done by JB Custom Finish .. Now I wish I had used them) and JB has, and is, doing everything they can to help us through this."

"I hired this company to repair structural damage to the frame of a loveseat and they did excellent work from the pickup all the way through the delivery. The experience is everything that someone should want and expect from a high quality firm. It was a pleasurable experience."

"An engineering friend recommended that I contact Farid to inquire about his carpentry skills, after seeing his work on a few projects. Farid personally came out, drafted a proposal after carefully inspecting the necessary repairs, and worked regularly and diligently to vastly improve the strength and appearance of my 17 year old backyard structure. It was a very pleasant experience overall, and Farid and his assistant Eddie did a beautiful job. Would hire again."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Homeowners can increase the usefulness of their garage space in other ways, and one option is to extend the length of the garage by making it deeper. The process is similar to traditional garage extensions, but the end product is a garage with a different layout rather than additional parking spaces. 

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.

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

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

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.
