"Fabiano and Will went over and beyond on this project. Hiring a carpenter you have never worked with before involves a certain degree of faith. That's what I did when hiring Fabiano Construction to build a triple-tiered flower bed on my rooftop with a trellis on my Philadelphia row-home rooftop. I was not disappointed. Fabiano and Will are a great team, they are very kind and they do great work. What more could you ask for? I am having both of them come back to rebuild my grill countertop and cabinetry! I have no regrets using Fabiano Construction and I will continue to use them in the future!"

"Evans Contracting contacted me through my search for someone to repair, clean and paint my deck. I spoke with Charles and was given a quick and very reasonable quote for the work. I agreed to the quote and the work was started within two days. Charles kept me informed of the progress of the work and it was completed in two days. The overall work was excellent and I was very happy with the results. I would highly recommend Ed Evans contacting and plan to use them for some future work. Thank you for a job well done 👍"

"I began my remodeling project by getting estimates on new gutters and downspouts from contractors. When Benny offered his opinions to me something just clicked between us. In addition to the gutters, I had plans for roofing and painting my entire house along with many small jobs needing to be done later. I gave Benny a wish list and told him that I had budget in mind. After an hour of discussion, I came to the realization that I could have it all done in one shot with Benny. Two days later, Benny emailed me an estimate with a breakdown of each task. He was not the cheapest estimate, but he was in the ball park of all mid-range to high numbers and he is licensed, insured and bonded which is a necessity when people are on your roof and on ladders. He was a good fit for us. Great! I could now prioritize where my dollars should be spent. My wife and I sat down and decided that now was the time to fix up the old homestead for retirement. We contacted Benny and asked him if he could handle it all. Let's just say, lack of confidence is NOT a Benny Bennett character flaw. Lol. Gutters and downspouts, new roof (house and shed), power wash, lots of stucco repair, chimney pointing with a new cap, new capped foundation drip edge, full house painting, and even a TV antenna with ground installed were the assignments given Benny and his crew. Ah, now to his crew! T.J. and Steve are two of the most capable and cooperative young men I've ever had the pleasure to work with. Friendly and hard working are the words that I would use to describe these guys. A third worker came on the final two days, but I didn't really interact with him. Was this an easy experience? Not always, and it did take nearly three weeks due to tropical storm weather, a holiday, and vacations, but it was mostly painless. I'm not an easy guy to please and this was not an inexpensive job and I expect to get exactly what I pay for; nothing more, nothing less. Benny, T.J., Steve, and I planned and executed a very large undertaking in a fairly short amount of time in nearly 100° weather. I will say this: at the end of three weeks, I am a VERY HAPPY HOMEOWNER. I would certainly recommend Benny Bennett Contracting to all people who aren't sure what is possible for their homes to see if he is a good fit for you as well. After all, it's only and estimate. Thanks guys! Stop by anytime for a bottle of spring water. Joe & Karen M."

"They did an amazing job, did exactly what they said they would do, at the price they quoted, and when it ended up that they had to replace one of the boards in our fence that wasn't anticipated, they included it in the work free of charge. They did a beautiful job and I highly recommend G Parker Contracting. Would use again for other projects."

Customers say: Quick response

"A Step above Painting and Drywall are "exceptional". I need new flooring all on the 1st floor as well as needed the entire house (Interior) to be painted. Andres and his team did an outstanding job on my floors and painting. Tony (Mgr) is awesome - busy - but he does follow up, great person and team. I would HIGHLY recommend this company for your projects."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

Yes, most services include necessary frame modifications for proper door fitting. Confirm with your provider.

Bow windows need support because they are large and extend out from the exterior wall of the home. Bow windows may extend 1 foot to several feet from the outside of the home, so you’ll need to provide additional support to handle this weight. A window contractor will be able to provide the proper amount of support for your new bow window.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.
