"I purchased the caulking and drywall repair deals from JT Contractors and I am so pleased with the service. Chuck and Richard were consummate professionals in their approach and their demeanor. They arrived on-time, listened attentively to what I wanted performed, asked questions for clarification on caulk color, and went about completing the work.The tubs, sinks and walls look absolutely beautiful. I will definitely use JT Contractors again. In fact, I requested an estimate for some interior painting and I look forward to enjoying the results of that work as well.

"Angelo was willing to do any of the items I had on my list.  Some items required a skilled craftsman and some were just in need of a good handyman.  Angelo is both.  My biggest project involved work to the roof around the chimmey so no more moisture would get in to damage drywall.  He did all repairs in a timely, professional manner.  As soon as I can Angelo will be repairing the plaster in the living room and repainting.

"Jack and his team were great! Initial quote: Jack came on time and communicated well throughout. Quote was provided in a timely manner unlike some other contractors I had contacted. A clear contract was provided with all work in writing along with prices and milestones. Work began promptly and was done with great quality and care. Our family is enjoying our new space and would recommend JK to all our family and friends. Thanks again!"

"Nermin was timely in bidding, starting and completing the project. This project was large and required working around a very strict work schedule as imposed by my condo association. He was informative when explaining why certain planned design options would have to be modified to accommodate an unknown issue discovered during the demolition process. Was accommodating when materials needed to be picked up, often offering to retrieve them on my behalf. Also, he made himself available to meet contractors when needed to perform specialized work outside the scope of his bid. Work site cleanup was great. No residual damage was noted upon project completion. I really enjoyed working with a Nermin and Sons."

"I was acting as Project Manager for clients/friends performing a major renovation. Howard was responsive, professional, and punctual. I left him an initial voicemail which he returned within the day. He then immediately scheduled an appointment to see the property before receiving the architectural drawings. He spent over an hour with me walking through the site and explaining potential challenges on site. He then drove me to a property around the corner where he had completed e a major renovation (it looked beautiful). Ultimately, we went with a lower bid taking a gamble on inevitable change orders. 
I work with a lot of general contractors on major projects. Howard was a consummate professional. I'd recommend him as your go-to guy. I hope to work with him soon.

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.

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.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.
