"Dan is a good contractor and through. There were learning curves for both Dan and we the homeowners with Monroe County building codes. Dan listen to the inspector and corrected things to ensure they were within code and paid particular attention to the details. With this being covid environment throughout the world it was an impact to the project and caused a bit of delay. We were very satisfied with Dan's work the room turned out excellent,"

"Our experience with Schriber Flooring was fantastic. I would HIGHLY recommend Trey and his team to anyone. We found him on Angie’s List and he had excellent reviews. We got several quotes and his was the cheapest, but we also got to see pictures of work he had already done for other clients beforehand. Trey came out to give us an estimate, and because of his expertise and advice we learned that we actually wanted to buy a different type of flooring (vinyl plank instead of laminate), and he was able to recommend different better options of where to buy it. I was so impressed with him. Upon pulling up the old carpet, Trey ended up finding severe water damage with mold and a rotten subfloor underneath, so the job ended up being much larger than anticipated, but we were prepared for potential damage under the floor. Trey was professional, hardworking, quick; he made sure to give me options every step of the way. He wouldn’t make changes without giving me an updated estimate. And he was a total perfectionist; at one point in the entry way, they were almost done but the floor was making a weird popping noise, so he pulled it back up and then worked on the subfloor until it stopped making the noise. They even got in the crawl space and checked the joists for me to see if there was any damage underneath (there wasn’t, thank goodness!). If you’re looking at doing a project, I’d DEFINITELY consider Schriber Flooring. We have already arranged for him to come back and do the rest of our floors!"

"Brandon is the owner and he met with my wife and did an excellent job of picking out wonderful bright and vibrant colors for all of the rooms to be painted. 2 days later he sent a "crew" over to the house to do the actual painting. The crew did a very poor job of neatness by splattering paint over many edges of baseboard, ceiling, outlets, and even the floor. We had to call them back the next day for some clean-up and a second coat in 3 rooms. They failed to remove some items from the walls prior to painting and failed to protect some items from getting paint on them. We were not about to call them back a 3rd time , so we ended up doing some clean up and touch up ourselves. Perhaps if Brandon had been more proactive in the actual painting or supervised the crew more diligently we may have enjoyed a more favorable experience. At any rate we felt that for the price we paid we deserved a much more professional job!

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

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.
