"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

Yes, most services include necessary frame modifications for proper door fitting. Confirm with your provider.

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. 

Yes, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.
