Customers say: True professional

"We were looking for help with adding additional deck framing , installing a handrail, and replacing some exterior trim that had rotted. Lucas and Tiago were excellent. Lucas promptly came out to discuss the work and provide an estimate. Pricing was competitive and communication was far more professional and reliable than other companies. Craftmanship was excellent and they cleaned up before leaving. I will definitely use them for future projects."

"I hired Barry back in November of 2020 to remove one of our built-in cabinets in preparation for our plumber to replace our cast iron pipes and to install some window trim for house. Throughout the process, Barry was highly professional, personable, and the quality of his work was second to none! Barry made the process easy and I was glad that I hired him. I would highly recommend him for any type of carpentry-related job. His knowledge of woodwork is one another level. I will definitely hire him again when I need more work done in the future."

"I was contacted in a timely manner and Mr. Aponte made an appointment to look at the job and give me an estimate. He was prompt and professional. We agreed upon a price and Mr. Aponte completed the work in a reasonable amount of time and at the quoted price. The work was done in the manner described to me and the finished product was what I expected it to look like. My porch railings and new column were strong, square, and level. I would highly recommend Aponte Contracting. S. Otero"

Woodworking FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Many modern homes have soffits, but older ones don’t, and you may be wondering why. Older homes have eaves that extend further beyond the home and help to circulate air, negating the need for a soffit. This style of building has faded away, therefore, modern homes need separate soffit installation. Modern soffits are more efficient than this older style and require less material to construct, saving homeowners money.

While you can perform many routine home maintenance jobs yourself, it’s often a good idea to bring pros in for certain tasks. HVAC maintenance, fireplace and chimney inspections, foundation repairs, and roof inspections and repairs should be handled by professionals who know what to look for and can safely perform repairs. You may also find it helpful to hire a local house cleaning service to help with deep cleaning.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.
