"Job has been completed. They arrived as scheduled, performed the work requested and cleaned up excess materials and remaining debris from the job site. As a result of the great job done on the original project, we requested that Ron's Masonry undertake a second project. They again arrived on time and completed the second project in the timeframe specified and within budget."

"I hired Adam and his team to frame and install my new kitchen including framing out a new pantry in a very difficult space as well as install a slider and reconfigure some walls. I am so pleased with the result. His attention to detail and work ethic are a rare find. I would recommend anyone needing any carpentry, framing, windows and doors work to contact him, you will not be disappointed."

"Marcelo and Henry from GM Carpentry were awesome!! We originally hired him to replace some siding on our house, which then turned into a bigger job of needing to replace some of our roof (it's always something with home ownership...sigh!). But, Marcelo and his team were SO fast, responsive and reliable. Showed up when they said they would and finished the job (including all the extra stuff) in four days. 10000% hire him for anything carpentry and you won't be disappointed!"

"Nixon provides great service in a timely manner. He and his crew were efficient, polite and respectful of the areas they worked in. They performed carpentry work that was excellent and quickly solved a roofing and sealing/painting issue for me. Nixon was responsive by phone and showed up when he said he was going to each time. His pricing was a bit on the high side and you get what you pay for. I will definitely be calling on Nixon and his crew again for future work."

"I wanted an estimate in advance, and I told Edie I was not ready to get my deck fixed yet. Despite that, he gave me a thoughtful and detailed analysis of what he could do with my deck and emailed me a formal estimate. He answered many questions about materials and what would be the best options. He contacted me very soon after I submitted my interest and came to my home at short notice. I was impressed by the photos of his work, his knowledge, and excellent attitude."

"We recently hired Joe to paint my mother’s entire house and two-story garage, and the results were beautiful. He was responsive, quick, and truly listened to what we wanted. He worked closely with us throughout the project, was easy to communicate with, and handled every change request professionally and without hesitation. What stood out most was his care and attention to detail. He took pride in his work, and it showed in the finished product. The whole property looks refreshed and absolutely beautiful. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled, reliable, and professional painter."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.

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.
