"A tree from my property damaged my neighbor's fence and I contracted with JNJ Fencing. John requested a picture which I provided and he came out the following day. Job was completed in record time Both my neighbor and I are quite pleased with the pair. Workers were courteous, affable and engaging. I would definitely recommend this company. Should I ever need any future fencing work to be done, I would absolutely reach out to JNJ Fencing."

"Reed is an amazing craftsman. He built this beautiful deck for me but he has done countless other projects for both me and my daughter and son-in-law. He has painted, repaired drywall, rebuilt a fireplace, built custom cabinetry, done landscaping projects, replaced flooring and many other projects. He is kind, incredibly skilled and makes sure everything is done perfectly. We consider him part of our family now! I highly recommend Reed!!!"

"We had a few rotted spots on our house soffit and fascia that needed repair. They communicated with us and came on the day and time they said they would. They finished the job in half a day and we were very pleased with the results. They even took a piece of our wood to have the paint matched so they could paint it to look like the rest of the house. Everyone was very friendly and professional. Would definitely hire this company again!"

"Mr. Pope and his assistant from Barco Electrical did an excellent job. They performed a survey, provided a timely estimate and completed the work on an agreed upon schedule. The work performed was top notch. Installed the outlets and switch exactly where I needed them. Upon completion they cleaned up the job site and left everything neat and tidy. Would highly recommend them for any electrical needs and I would definitely use them again in the future."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

Bow windows need support because they are large and extend out from the exterior wall of the home. Bow windows may extend 1 foot to several feet from the outside of the home, so you’ll need to provide additional support to handle this weight. A window contractor will be able to provide the proper amount of support for your new bow window.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.
