Customers say: Quality work

"We are revamping a custom home and gutted the dining room walls. Jason installed stained door trim, window trim, baseboards, and corrected our coffers ceilings. I am very particular on things being done correctly, especially when installing stained trim. He was meticulous, respectful, on time and was by far THE easiest person that I ve worked with since beginning the process of this fixer upper."

"Punctuality and professionalism are key for me, and Bergen Co delivers on both every time. I call them for issues I can’t fix myself, from installing a ceiling fan to fixing a leaky pipe. Bergen Co arrives exactly when scheduled and gets straight to work. They are very polite and make sure everything is installed correctly and safely. I appreciated their efficiency and respect for my home. They are fair and affordable."

"He was professional did exactly what I asked him to do and he hasn’t got all the painting done, but we had to wait until the wood dried out and then I hired him for another job inside to work on a ceiling that had water damage. I’m very happy with the work he’s done."

Hi there! I have about 9 years of experience with home remodeling, house flips, and currently I am focused more on carpentry (custom closets, interior/exterior trim, etc.) and flooring. I am still open to most home repair needs. I am new to Angi, but feel free to check out some photos of my work in the project photos. I am also willing to share more photos. Feel free to email me at [email protected] or call/text at 3179032308. Thanks!

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.
