"Ivan, Sarai, Ismael and others were fantastic to work with. I hired New Generation to paint the interior of my condo. They did a fantastic job and I'm so very pleased with the results. I had lots of questions and they were very patient with me. They explained the steps they would take and I learned a lot about different grades of paint, wall textures, etc. Outstanding customer service. Punctual as well. Will hire them again when I get my kitchen cabinets done next year. If you need any painting work done, I HIGHLY recommend New Generation Painting. You won't be disappointed."

"I had an outdoor playground set. Adrian was professional and hard-working. Great communication and he brought all the required tools and equipment. He showed up first thing in the morning on a short notice and it was all done before the end of the day. The assembly looks great and I know the kids will love it!"

"John was really great. He was very nice as well as reasonably priced. He worked on replacing one of our garage walls (Plywood, waterproofing & Stucco), repairing dry rot in the framing of one of our windows as well as trim work around the entire exterior of our home. He was efficient and his work was of high quality. He passed every inspection with flying colors. You can tell he takes pride in his work. I would absolutely recommend him!"

"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 I've had my deck for years but it was looking worn and outdated.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?"

"Pat replied promptly, arrived when arranged, and completed the job in good time. He was friendly and worked with me to figure out an unusual carpentry project. He ultimately charged me less than his estimate. His final product was well done; heâ s going to come back and fix another carpentry problem I have. A nice guy to work with."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.

Yes, using certified lumber and engineered wood products for reduced environmental impact.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

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.
