"I recently had my deck and porch completed by Geico Builders, and I couldn't be happier! Watching the team build everything from scratch was incredible. My project manager kept me updated throughout the process, assuring me that everything was under control. The workers were not only skilled but also consistently on time, which I really appreciated. They did a fantastic job enhancing my property, and I highly recommend them. If I ever decide to undertake another project, I won't hesitate to choose Geico Builders again!"

"I needed a deck repair and was dealing with someone else who led me on for a month with only one estimate...done one way. They would not do what I wanted (less repair). Howard at Lane Home Improvement called me to tell me he usually did not do the work I was wanting but came by to give me pointers, answer questions and tell me what he thought needed done even though he knew he probably would not be taking the job. I mean.....who does that?? Howard was so nice and easy to work with and fit me in before another big job he had lined up. I hired him just because he is so nice and then hoped for the best. I could not be more happy with the job. Plus.....he got started right away and worked with my budget. I would recommend him to anyone."

"Nathan is not only an OCD fine carpenter -- he is also a great communicator and a great guy. He installed our new 8-ft elegant front door after having demolished the existing entry door, with its sidelight and eyebrow windows and a 6'8" door place there by the original builder of the home. Entirely new framing job. He helped me with the order itself, did troubleshooting for me when no one know where the door was after we were told it was shipped, and stayed well into the evening on installation day to make sure it was in readiness to be used and locked up for the night. The results are STUNNiNG. We would never hesitate to use Nathan for any of our remodeling needs where a finish carpenter is needed. Thank you, Nathan!"

"I had two literally rotten bathrooms that were overdue for work. One of the bathrooms had a huge scary hole in the middle. As it turns out, a previous contractor did a sloppy job in several areas that introduced a small leak that eventually rotted the bathroom floors. The Tenorio's group actually had to replace most of the pipes, and floors. At that point, we decided to make the bathrooms completely new. Much better than the previous work years ago. They were highly recommended by a friend who worked with several contractors. I did not rate the price because most other contractors that give a cheaper price may deliver cheaper results. If you need work now, here is your chance to hire them, because once I am ready, I will have them performing more work for me."

"John is a real professional. He does quality work! The contractors who I hired to paint the crown moulding complimented his work! I even asked John at the last minute to build a door casing for an uncased entrance I had from the dining room to the hallway, which he agreed to do -- and did a wonderful job. I highly recommend him if you're interested in quality."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.
