"Jay and Mason are amazing! Fair pricing, on time, replaced screens and painted our front steps - Could not be happier! Quality work and we hired them to come back for another 2 small projects! We will be having them quote us again on a larger undertaking. If I could give them a 10 in the above ratings, I would certainly do so. A Gem of a company! So happy I found them! We will use Jay-Son over and over again."

"Exceptional Contractor for Comprehensive Home Improvement: I recently had the pleasure of working with Claudio and his team for a variety of home improvement projects, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the results. Initially hired for deck replacement, I was immediately impressed with the quality of their work. This positive experience led me to engage their services for additional projects, including windows and doors replacement, installation of leaf guards for gutters, repairing a leaking roof, fixing the chimney, addressing exterior damage caused by a previous contractor's negligence, replacing shingles, power-washing the house, and painting the exterior. What sets Claudio apart is not just the breadth of services offered but the consistent excellence in each. His carpentry skills are top-notch, evident in the meticulous work on my deck and other wooden structures. Moreover, his reliability and honesty make the entire process stress-free. The pricing is fair, especially considering the wide range of skills he brings to the table. Claudio truly is a man of all trades. Having someone with such diverse skills has been a game-changer for me. I no longer need to juggle multiple contractors for different tasks; he can handle it all. If you're looking for a reliable, honest, and multi-talented professional for your home improvement needs, Claudio is the person for the job. I highly recommend his services and will undoubtedly turn to him for any future projects."

"I had a great experience with Matt once we got started late because of the pandemic. I've lived in my first house for 18 years and have always wanted to put a deck in the front. The back door frame had rotted out so here was my excuse to do some fun stuff. I met two other builders. One was an old curmudgen and the other was a young kid that didn't seem to care about appearance. Then i met Matt. 34 yr. old and professional looking. I told him about the back door and said not a problem. Then I told him my ideas for the deck which turned into a beautiful screened in 8x10 porch. I had my ideas and told me what he had done in the past. The project was not "set in concrete" so to speak. We both had ideas and my vision came out through his work. It could not have come out any better. I would highly recommend Matt for any project you can think of. Once we got started it was done quickly. His work was simple yet elegant. Perfect job. Thanks Matt. '"

"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."

"Ed and Bob were incredibly detail oriented from design to implementation. Very high quality solution done in a short time period - worked within the confines of my very old home and did the work with lots of care not to disturb existing structure. Extremely professional work (end of day tools kept neatly, no trash, very organized job) and clean. Highly recommend for french drain or basement drain systems."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

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.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.
