"Jacques and C & M Kitchen Cabinets did a fantastic job with my kitchen remodel. Jacques kept me updated each step of the way, his design was just what I wanted, his crew were respectful of my home and were professional. I wouldn't change a thing and am going to use Jacques for my 2 bathroom remodels without hesitation. I have recommended Jacques to friends who have also used C & M Kitchen Cabinets."

Customers say: Quick response

"The owner of Froland Carpentry runs a first class professional company. The crew shows up on time and are pleasant and respectful. They protected surrounding work area surfaces including floor runners on the stone floors. We had cabinetry work, water damage repaired from the exterior of our house including water damage on the interior walls and baseboards. We couldn't be happier with the impeccable finish work. They are real pros. We will definitely hire them for our next project which will be staining the driveways and decks around our swimming pool. We completely trust their quality of work, clarity in communication, bids and follow through. Great find!"

"Carroll Building Solutions did a great job. I needed new railing around my balcony. I wish that I had found them for my previous work. He has a great crew, the work is extremely professional. This is going to sound funny, but, the were methodical and precise but also finished quickly. Most importantly, they cleaned up after themselves, you would never know that they were there if you didn't see them. I want to give a big "THANK YOU" for a job well done."

Woodworking 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.

Many contractors prefer checks because they’re easy to track and have no associated fees. However, many also accept credit cards (though they might add a fee to cover their processing costs).

Most contractors do not charge for meetings, but it can depend on the project, mainly if it includes detailed consultations or project planning. For general estimates, homeowners shouldn't expect to be charged. Always ask up front about meeting fees to avoid surprises and ensure you know what’s included in the process.

Joists and beams are both part of the flooring system above your basement, with the beams spanning the length of your home and getting support from vertical posts underneath, and joists usually spanning half the width of your home with no support posts underneath. The floor joists provide even support to the subflooring and flooring above, and they distribute that load to the beams. The beams then distribute that load down through the support posts to the foundation.

It is common for a contractor to ask for a down payment before starting a project, especially for jobs that require purchasing materials and equipment or hiring a crew. The deposit amount can range from 10% to 50% of the total job cost. While a request for up to 50% is not unusual, a contractor should not ask for more than that, and you should never pay for a project in full before the work has begun. To protect yourself, always discuss payment terms before starting and have a written contract that outlines the project timeline and expectations. Additionally, be sure to hire reputable contractors and check their licensing and insurance before the project begins.
