"Gil and his crew were very polite, on time and professional. Cabinet assembly and installation, door build out, baseboards and fixing a job that the old carpenter completely messed up. 100% approval rating in all aspects from me."

He is also so kind and wonderful to have around. I highly recommend Gaby- I will use him again for all my carpentry needs. He is an excellent carpenter!!"

"Moises and his team did an outstanding job repairing our back porch. He was quick to respond to our call and gave a fair estimate. We were happy with the work he did in a short time framework. If we need any type of carpentry or masonry done in the future, we will definitely use his services again."

"We considered a few contractors before hiring Neary Construction. We are very glad we chose Neary! Liam and his crew did a great job. They are professionals, very responsive and very knowledgeable. They completed the work sooner than expected and at the price quoted."

Customers say: True professional

"Listening/Planning: Joe took time to hear our specific needs- including design simplicity , a similar size and footprint as the original porch and with more shallow risers and wider treads. We wanted to add only one railing. Our goal was to make it easier for aging folks, like us, to access the front entrance. ( And for large deliveries to be made.) He provided us with pictures of porches meeting our criteria. He discussed building materials. Some of which he recommended from his experience and some we had encountered from friends and relatives. In the written estimate Joe included details of everything we requested , his plan for disposal and cleanup , and mentioned the unknown charges (TBD) like the window pane and sill repair. As retirees in no hurry, we were able to watch Joe work. We both admired his work ethic. Dan ( a former engineer, wood canvas canoe builder, and our own home handyman) especially admired Joe's carpentry and careful calculations. He was neat, organized and clearly takes pride in his work. (Justifiably so.) It wasn't until he brought out his small cement mixer that I realized how many talents were required by this dedicated worker Joe found the sill entirely full of critter holes! He first supported the basement ceiling with his handy device and cleaned out the damaged area, (We could now see the front yard from the basement!) Once finished, the house was well- supported and the mess cleaned up."

"Osmin and his team did a great job replacing our triple-decker back porch. He worked with an architect, that he found, to make sure there were no variances required. This made the permitting process quicker. It was a tricky job because building codes have changed since the porch was first built."

"Excellent! We hired Sanfer and his team after meeting with him a few times and checking references. We really liked his can-do attitude and flexibility. He was easy to talk to and had some design ideas that we chose over the architects. He is a strong builder, meaning he doesnt skimp on making it well made. That was important to me. He has a really great finish carpenter too. Shout out to Edgard! Our remodel was a 4 room, bathroom, 2 floor addition (now a walk out basement/first floor) to accommodate an inlaw apt on the ground floor and office and living room on the first. We also had a small elevator added between the two floors. The pricing was right down the middle compared to others. The elevator installers remarked that the hoistway was the best built they had worked with, which was important since it needed to be within a quarter inch of plumb at any point. We used Sanfer for other smaller add ons and would hire them again for a large or smaller job."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

Yes, professionals can install new frames, trim, and threshold adjustments for a complete finish.

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.
