"I was introduced to Roland and his team through a referral from my realtor. My husband and I were buying a single-family rancher, and it needed some immediate work after closing on the home to make it wheelchair accessible. Roland met with me during the inspection, gave us a quote not too soon after that, and his team was able to start the work ONE DAY after closing -- amazing! We were able to move into our new home 2 weeks later, and Roland, Jon and team were able to complete everything within 3 weeks. Roland was communicative throughout the process and also was quick to remedy any concerns that we had throughout the process. I would recommend!"

"Went wonderful with the contractor. They were great to work with and helped us navigate a very troublesome insurance company. They drove from northern Virginia to silver spring to do the work as well, not any easy task and a long commute in traffic. They were just great."

"Great general contractor who solves unexpected problems quite reasonably and quickly. The floor install required a new subfloor (expected) but unexpectedly we found that the 75% of the joists needed replacing or repairing. The work was taken care of and the floors are absolutely beautiful!!! One thing to improve is the communication between the GC / work crew / client, this is why I took one star away. If you are considering hiring EJALE, do it, you will not be disappointed with the end result! I will hire them again."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.
