"We had the best experience with this contractor for major exterior work on our home. The owner Sobi first came out to look over the multi faceted project. Our home is 50+ years old and a unique custom build. Many years of deferred maintenance led to extensive dry rot and a need to waterproof a very large roof deck. No contractor really wants to do this kind of work but not Sobi. He assured us that he has seen far worse and has solutions and ideas for our specific issues. This involved more of an investigative approach as he dove into a complicated drain pipe system that was built inside the walls. He found the issue and went to work replacing interior drain pipe connections, etc. He then addressed the extensive exterior dry rot. Some beams needed to be replaced, others could be salvaged. The other big issue, a huge roof deck that was leaking, Sobi had a solution that worked great for us, saving us money. He is very personable, professional, problem solver, just the best!"

"Enrique responded promptly to our request for an estimate. After ordering and receiving the materials, he and Hubert began work immediately, removed the existing deck, installed concrete supports, built the framing and installed the deck. The project was completed in just over two days. Enrique is experienced in working with Trex decking, our choice of material, and the finished deck is beautiful. All trash was removed and the work area cleaned perfectly. Enrique is very professional in his approach to us and in all aspects of the work. We plan to hire him to rebuild a fence."

Finish carpentry involves working both on the inside and the outside of the house, and it can include cabinets, installing wood siding, hanging doors and putting in such items as wainscoting, bookcases and mantelpieces. Proficiency requires years of practice with a wide range of woodworking tools. The field of finish carpentry involves so many skilled tasks, such as cabinetmaking, that certain areas of home-building may be handled by just one person or even a small crew. Building cabinets is one of the more complex tasks, where at least the original work needs to be done in a woodworking shop. Once the cabinets are made, the finish carpenter will have the task of installing these items at the site. Landon Turner, owner of Turner Finish Carpentry. Residing in Pleasanton most of his life, Landon has been doing remodeling and finish carpentry for the last 10 yrs in the tri valley / bay area. With a wide range of experience and referrals he has started his own Finish Carpentry business.

"The Bayside Builders are the best at what they do! I've had my deck for years but it was looking worn and outdated. They helped me transform this area into something new - a more open, brighter space with plenty of room to relax on hot days or enjoy dinner under starry skies. What better way to enjoy our new outdoor space right?"

"Dry rot repairs - had 3 estimates before Casablanca Construction. Sebastian was personable yet very professional and HONEST. We (older and knows nothing about repairs) need people like him. Pointed out possible future damages (no pressure). Have very polite, hard working crew especially Martin. Good quality of work for a reasonable price. I would definitely recommend them."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

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.

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.
