"Bill Smith did a fine job replacing the lattice under a deck with white vinyl lattice, including building two gates to get to under deck storage, painting the handrails, and repairing and painting the metal handrails on the front porch. He even reattached a fallen shingle on the roof without charge. He was meticulous, professional, and courteous. Good communication via email. Will hire again."

"Wilson is a skilled craftsman who has rescued so many of my fine antique pieces over the last 15 years. He is extremely talented and very easy to work with. I have given him broken, stained, desiccated and otherwise damaged wooden items that he has restored to their original beauty. I find his prices quite moderate and his work exceptional."

"I had 3 seperate exterior repair projects on my home that needed to be addressed. I was able to schedule Mike to come out and get an idea of the scope of work to be performed within a few days of making my initial call and he kept the appointment even though a t-storm was rolling in to Annapolis that evening. I received a propopsal in just a few days and after making a few minor modifications, the work started about 10 days later and was completed as scheduled..on time and at the agreed price. During the job, Mike and his crew kept things clean around my yard and removed all debris each day. Mike provided me with a high quality job at a very fair price. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Step It Up Construction to anyone and he will be the only company I will be calling when the need for future home repair and improvements are needed at my home. Call them...you won't be disappointed."

"Mr. Chapman sent two of his contractors to help me to build two tacks and organize and store all of my personal items on the shelves in part of the basement and garage. The young men worked really hard for 7 hours non stop and they were perfect gentleman who followed instructions very well and they knew exactly what to do. If you need a handyman. I recommend them."

"We called and got an estimate within 24 hours. The workers arrived punctually on the day of the appointment for the work and started where we asked them. One fixed the roof while the other prepped the house for the wash. Five hours later they had finished the pressurewashing and cleaned up to leave.
The house looks great. The roof is fixed. None of the many plants which surround my house were injured. The last pressurewashing contractor I hired spent two days and destroyed some of my gardens.
We are definitely calling Vazquez and Sons again when we need more work.

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, using certified lumber and engineered wood products for reduced environmental impact.

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.

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.

Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.

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.
