"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."

"If you have spoken to the rest now hire the best Liam Neary Construction. I bought a house last year and have probably replaced almost everything. I have worked with at least 20 contractors and not one of them comes close to the talent, hard work, dedication, and professionalism of Liam Neary. Everything he does from the moment he enters your home is done with thoughtfulness, skill, and integrity. He will listen to you, explain things to you, and give you honest feedback based on his vast knowledge and experience. He will send you a detailed estimate of the work needed within a couple of days and follow up with you. He is always available and gets back to you quickly. He respects your time and shows up at your home every day at 7 am and works 6 days a week. He checks in daily and several times a day if necessary to keep the project moving. He has a clean-as-you-go mentality keeping everything neat and orderly. He loves what he does, and it shows in the beautiful, finished products of his work. He will treat your home like his own. Do yourself a favor hire Neary Construction, you will have the work of a true craftsman."

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."

"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."

"We have asked Joe and his team to help us with several projects, and they have always done an exceptional job. On this most recent project, he returned to our home to help repair plastering and general carpentry in a playroom in a finished attic. When I contacted Joe about our needs via email, he came to our home and assessed the work. He quickly sent some of his carpenters to complete the job, which they did expertly and efficiently. We appreciate that Joe always follows up via email to ensure that everything completed. We will continue to use Joe for projects in the future, and we have provided his name to anyone that contacts us. He is an excellent general contractor and person!"

"House repairs Carlos and the team are truly great! I am writing to express my satisfaction with the work done by the Carlos and team who fixed my house trims and painted parts of my house. The work was done quickly and efficiently, and the results are outstanding. The carpenters were very professional and experienced. They took the time to listen to my needs and make sure that the work was done to my satisfaction. The team fixed all of the damaged trim around my house. They replaced the rotted wood, patched the holes, and painted the trim to match the rest of the house. They were also very careful to protect my property and to clean up after themselves. The painters were also very professional and experienced. I am very happy with the work that was done by the team. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for quality work at a fair price. I am very pleased with the results of the work that was done. My house looks great and a few other professionals working on the house said they will use Carlos in their future projects. I would highly recommend Real Painting & Home Improvement to anyone who is looking for quality work at a fair price."

"Larry and Cheryl, of DeVaux Home Improvement, did a fabulous job with the painting and carpentry work on my 100 year old Craftsman Bungalow! It was a challenging feat which they had accomplished with a high level of professionalism. I plan to contract with DeVaux Home Improvement for other projects next year. I highly recommend them for their craftsmanship, their meticulous care and their dedication to quality work! - Roberta Ingemi of Wakefield, MA"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

The cost to frame a 2,000-square-foot house can fall anywhere between $14,000 and $32,000. This price can increase or decrease depending on what type of framing you choose, the quality of the materials, the project's complexity, and whether you decide to hire a professional to do the job.
