Customers say: Terrific value

"Ervin Graber and his roofing crew tore off the old roof our home, and installed Landmark shingles with five nails in each shingle. They also corrected our roof vents that were not installed correctly the first time. They also installed some vents that were not installed the first time, and should have been. The price was great, and if roofing were a sport, E.G Roofing would be a Olympic team."

"Josh spends quality time before the project starts to make sure he understands what we wanted. We never felt rushed. During the project he continually checked in to make sure we were satisfied. And the final project shows his high level of detail! He is very careful and thorough! The deck looks amazing and is far more than we expected. He smoothed and sanded corners of handrails and all handrails. Beautiful work!"

"My experience with New Vision Construction was awesome!! This company was the only company, from Angi, who really showed interested in helping me (us) meet our needs. I sent photos of what I needed done to several drywall contractors on Angi. The most I got from them all, except New Vision Contractors, was an amount with no explanations or communication. New Vision renewed my belief in a professional business that was really interested in my project! They have helped me (us) from start to finish with some add ons to the project without hesitation!! This company is honest and upfront with expenses….they truly haves restored my faith in construction humanity and down right honesty! I would highly recommend this company for remodeling, new construction or any home improvements required! Thank you New Vision Construction!!!"

"The Under Pressure team were great! I got a very reasonable quote quickly for power washing my wood fence and deck. The job was scheduled promptly. Coby did the work. He was polite, professional and very thorough. The fence and deck look fantastic now. I couldn’t be happier."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

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.

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.
