"Out of the numerous contractors we interviewed prior to selecting Dinh, many had charismatic salespeople who presented their services well. However, Dinh stood out in a different way. Despite not being overly talkative, he exhibited attentive listening skills and provided a tailored proposal that precisely addressed our needs. Furthermore, his pricing was competitive, adding to our satisfaction with choosing him for the project. Remarkably, Dinh single-handedly completed the entire project, displaying meticulous attention to detail and delivering repairs of exceptional quality. In addition to his impeccable craftsmanship, Dinh went above and beyond by assisting me in selecting the most cost-effective materials, as I was responsible for managing the material expenses. This exemplifies his dedication and willingness to extend his support beyond the scope of his primary responsibilities. Overall, we are extremely pleased with Dinh's work and wholeheartedly recommend him for any future home improvement projects you may have."

"We obtained estimates from over 10 contractors for this job. Brian was very reasonably priced. We needed a deck specialist to modify an existing deck. Brian has extensive experience building decks. He handled our fairly complicated project with skill and competence. He lived up to every commitment he made. He was always on time, always responded to messages and phone calls. We love our new deck and highly recommend Brian."

"Karol and his crew are very talented, efficient builders. We hired Karol to build a composite deck to compliment the pool we had installed in the back yard. It turned out beautifully. He is a great communicator and listener, prompt and reliable."

"I hired Richard to reconstruct my front stairs, deck, guard and rails. He explained in detail the work he will be doing and provided a proper quote. I appreciate the fact that he keeps me updated on the progress of the work. Richard's carpentry skills are exemplary and outstanding. He made sure that whatever work he did conforms to the latest applicable building codes. I'm very satisfied with the quality of his work. He did not only reconstruct my stairs and deck but made it much stronger and safer. We are very happy and pleased with the work that Richard has done. We recommend Richard to everyone who needs work done on their stairs, decks and other carpentry work in their homes. Thank you Richard."

"I was so happy with the out come of the deck. It looks brand new. I like the fact that everything is broken down on the bid you receive. If you didn't want to have something extra done it was not problem to have it you bid changed. I would recommend this company to all"

"I needed an arbor painted. We had it built about 3 years ago but the staining had faded. I bought the Tool Time big deal coupon for $350.00 for 4 hours of work. I purchased the deal early March, but had to email the company several times to actually start the job. It was finally completed in May. Spoke with Eric the owner over the phone but only met the painter in person. The painter stated that the arbor would need to be washed and primed and I agreed. We bought the materials like paint and primer. Was happy with the results. Didn't here from the company till August. For some reason, they were using an old email address instead of the one we were previously using to communicate. They did not try to communicate with me through Angie's list till 8/15. When I finally got the invoice, I was shocked to learn that they were asking $1500.00 for the job, which is more than I paid to have the arbor built, and about four times the amount of the initial deal. Eric's wife and I got into a heated, shouting argument over the cost. She states it cost that much because after the 4 hours, they were charging me their hourly rate. But come on! Over 24 hours of work to wash and paint an arbor? It didn't take that much time to build it. It ended with her request to email them with what I think is a fair price. I replied with an email stating that I would pay &800.oo on top of the the original price of the deal. That was in August and still haven't received a response. Seveal things went wrong with working with this company, maybe because it was a small job, there was not adequate communication going on. I wasn't given a quote verbal or written prior to the start of the job.

"They worked very hard from start to finish and did an excellent job. My yard looks like a different yard. I had a lot of work to do and they did everything I needed in the two hour time period. I have some bushes in the back that no one every cuts straight and even on the top, not only did they cut them straight and even but took quality time to make sure they were done right. My yard still has a way to go but it certainty looks way better. I have had several people come in the past and they have not done as good of a job. They left everything neat and clean and I am very happy with the work.

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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. 

Enhances property value, ensures safety, and provides a sound basis for future construction.

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.

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.

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.
