"NGB Carpentry did a great job replacing the vertical blinds on my slider and fixing the sliding doors to my bedroom closet. The young carpenter was pleasant and efficient. He completed the work in one trip, and the cost was reasonable. I would highly recommend this company."

"Too young man of AJ carpentry bid on the job and were able to start immediately. They completed the deck in a timely professional manner. I was so satisfied with their work that I asked them to replace the trim on Shuffle all my windows. Again the job was done with expertise and skill and they cleaned up very nicely afterwards. I recommend him wholeheartedly for any kind of carpentry indoors or out"

"Having worked with many contractors and been disappointed with the quality of the work and the experience, I found Byam Construction to be oustanding on all levels. Roger is very knowledgeable and communicative. His estimates are thorough yet concise and his pricing is competitive. The carpenters were professional, timely and detail oriented. I appreciated that everyone took the extra steps to make this a great job. Roger fit me in his schedule faster than anticipated and the carpenters were very thorough and experienced. If you can't tell, I would highly recommend Byam Construction, they were amazing. I'm thrilled to have found them!"

"Matt has done great work for us of varying sizes requiring different skills! 1. Fully renovated a 2 bay garage into a game room with a separate laundry. 2. Built a lattice fence surround for my 500 gallon propane tank - it gently masks the tank and provides a place for climbing roses! 3. Rebuilt a pergola that had rotted. 4. Replaced an eyebrow window and trim. Matt gives a solid estimate, stays on track and goes the extra mile to make sure you’re satisfied. Will continue to use him for all carpentry projects! Thank you Matt!"

"Paulo did an excellent job, but more importantly, he showed up when he said he would and there were no "surprises." A very nice man and a professional. We will be hiring him for several more projects, including some carpentry/repairs."

Customers say: Quality work

"I cannot say enough great things about Gabriel and Rudy. We had them rebuild a 100 year old outbuilding that is now a shower house. Their work quality was extremely high. The building is now a beautiful piece of a historic property. They are great communicators. They show up when they say they will. They worked every day all day until the job was done. And they worked very fast. Their price was very reasonable. Easily 5 stars across the board."

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.

New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.

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. 

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.
