"I have been wanting a pool in my backyard for years now, while I was searching for contractors online, I found Bayside Builders online and decided to call them up for an estimate on building my dream pool in my backyard. They came over and explained everything to me on how they were going to design my pool, what it would cost, and what the entire process was like.I was so impressed with the attention to detail that they took for this project because I never knew it would be so complicated. It looks great now though and more importantly, it gets used often by my family & friends! I highly recommend Bayside Builders for any home renovation project you may have-they are second to none."

In addition to what the neighbors were saying about the works quality and professionalism, I wanted to add one more thing. Completely happy!"

"As most of us know when we do a remodeling project, it is real hard to find good and honest people to complete your project. Fortunately, I found Leo and Yonathan from SkyTech Builders to help me with remodeling and repairing two of the bathrooms in my family's 4-Plex building. They were very honest, polite and helpful each step of the process from start to finish. The are very patient and suggested materials and design but always thinking about quality and your budget. Overall the experience with Leo and Yonathan was top notch and we were very satisfied with the finished product. We will definitely be using Sky Tech Builders for our future construction projects."

"He was the only person who proposed fixing the fence instead of replacing the whole sections. They were able to rebuild it almost entirely with the existing redwood and adding a few boards. Blends in nicely with the rest of the fence. Way cheaper than replacing the whole sections."

"Ofer recently finished remodeling our house including kitchen, flooring, bathrooms, and garage. Simply put, amazing work from start to finish. He was easy to communicate with and walked us through every part of the project to ensure we fully understood each aspect of the work. The entire team was professional, punctual, and thorough with excellent attention to detail. We had a limited timeline and they made sure the work was completed quickly and as scheduled. Even the neighbors were impressed by their punctuality and discipline! We have a lovely home thanks to Ofer and his team. Thank you for an excellent job!"

"We hired B&B to build an addition to our home to add additional space. We are very happy with the result and love the addition, totally changed the house. There were a few hiccups during the project, mainly due to manufacturing delays from vendors due to COVID. For example, our French doors took 6 weeks to arrive, but B&B were able to adjust. I will say that Jeremy is the reason I would recommend B&B. Jeremy was extremely responsive and any issues that came up, he reassured us it would be resolved. As I am sure with any construction job, it was somewhat stressful, not always smooth, but for the majority of the hiccups, it was no fault of B&B. Again, Jeremy was amazing and we are thankful for him making sure the job was completed to our satisfaction. The job was completed in Oct. 2020."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

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.

Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.
