"Selecting JB Construction to improve my home is a decision I'm very satisfied with, and that's coming from a discerning customer who expects things to be done right. After thinking about a remodel for a number of years, I finally got started by interviewing a number of contractors. The idea of updating your house is fun, of course, but there also was some trepidation about making the right choice since the project was going to be a significant commitment of time and money. After choosing JB Construction, Joe and his team really made the process as smooth as possible. They were professional and courteous and kept me updated on the work and next steps all along the way. They cleaned up the house daily after working, and they quickly made things right if I requested any changes or minor fixes. Their workmanship was terrific, the project on time and on budget, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results -- kitchen, dining room, family room, and hallway all brought out of the 80s and 90s into 2018. Thanks, Joe!"

"Larry and his crew take pride in their work, are incredibly friendly and professional, and â most important, at least for me-only work on one project at a time. Innovative design took over a project for me that had been badly begun, by a contractor who totally flaked out and disappeared and hadnâ t apparently been following the architectural plans (though I didnâ t know this at the time). It took them a while to get to me because they were booked, but it was worth the wait! Final project outstanding, professionalism and communication great."

"Mark and Josh, with help from Nick, restored my old 1917 garage. Most contractors I talked with seemed to have no idea what to do, but Mark figured it out. He was responsive and professions. It was a pleasure to work with him. I highly recommend Moonlight Renovations, and I will be hiring them again. One of their characteristics that I valued the most was the responsiveness. Whenever I left a message, they got back to me right away. I always knew what was going on and what the schedule was. They went far beyond my expectations. They did little things, like cleaning out their equipment so I could use the garage on the weekends. I didn't expect that and didn't ask for it, but they did it without my saying anything. I can't go on enough about how happy I am with the results of this project. I'm attaching before and after photographs."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

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.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

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.
