"I hired Ron's Masonry for yard work on May 27th, 2024. They helped me out when my original contractor refused to get back to me regarding my lawn and hedge situation. I cannot say it enough. Ron's Masonry is dependable and did an amazing job and saved me a lot of money and embarrassment. I will be recommending them to anyone who needs a hand. 5 star service.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ And I will be using them again. -Edward Coke, Stamford Connecticut resident"

"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!"

"If you're looking to remodel, hire Bud at Above & Beyond Contracting! Him and his crew were reliable, trustworthy, friendly and easy to work with. His quote was by far the most detailed & fair I received. If there was an issue, he put your mind at ease and took care of it. He recommended details I didn't even think of and it elevated the remodel & I love it. I am so happy with my renovation and couldn't be happier that I went with Above & Beyond Contracting."

"I hired Fernando to paint a large condo with cathedral ceilings. I also asked him to do some patch work on the walls. Fernando and his entire team finished the job quickly and professionally. And the place looks beautiful! I could not have asked for a better result or better people to work with. I would not hesitate to hire them in the future."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

You can enclose an open carport, however, there are several things to consider before opting to do so. You'll want to check local building codes and permit requirements before proceeding to make sure it’s legal. While you can sometimes stick-frame a carport enclosure, pre-fab kits are also available. Remember that you'll likely need to meet concrete slab regulations and provide lighting inside the structure. Both of which could substantially drive up costs.

Yes, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.

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.
