"Larry was very professional. He came out and viewed our project and was able to give us a ballpark figure on the spot. He bid the project and the time it would take to build. He was spot on for both. What we really loved about the job was the quality of work. We added a ramp on the side for future wheelchair access . Larry and his guys constructed it perfectly. From where the ramp began on the pavement to where it ended at the deck, it was smooth. The whole deck is beautiful. We are delighted with Larry and his team's work. We would recommend them to others without reservation."

"Russ was amazing to work with. Very professional and easy to get ahold of when we had questions. He came out multiple times to ensure that we had the proper stain to match the floors. He worked on our time frame as we had contractors we were working around. I would recommend him to anyone looking to refinish a staircase."

"Over a period of about a month Tenorio's A+ Home Improvement did a total demo of my old bathroom, major framing repair work beneath the subfloor and in the walls, and installed a beautiful new bathroom (including drywall, wall texturing, painting, subway tile in shower, new sub floor and floor tile, pedestal sink, toilet, mirror, etc). They showed up everyday organized, on time and ready to work, were professional, courteous, communicative at every step - identifying issues encountered and explaining fixes, suggesting design options, and handled all the permitting and inspections. I absolutely love my new bathroom. I would definitely recommend these guys and plan to call on them again for future projects."

"Vertex has completed more than one project for me but I especially want to mention the amazing job they did replacing the siding on my home. The whole process was smooth, communication was great and they kept everything clean from start to finish. I’m very happy with the results and would definitely recommend them!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

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