"Anthony did a wonderful job putting new door fronts on our cabinets in the kitchen, laundry, room, and small bathroom. He was also able to install drawers where there used to be cabinets. He was very conscientious to make sure that I was happy with the door style that was chosen. The men who came in to do the installation were efficient and friendly. Anthony is excellent at communicating during the process and returns any calls very quickly. I’m very happy with the results and highly recommend Anthony’s custom remodeling."

"I cannot say enough for the work ethic and customer satisfaction for one Salvatore Dali. He called me to tell me what was going on every step of the way delivered on what he said he was going to do and that is is not common in today's workforce. He is very conscious of a customer's need and does satisfy that need very greatly! Thank you so much Salvatore"

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.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

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.

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.

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.
