"Allen is an excellent carpenter; we had the banister & railing updated; along with the stair threads. We also had the risers reinforced. Hands down, very happy with Allen & his services. My neighbors were so impressed; they also hired him."

"After interviewing several companies to have our kitchen remodelled, we selected VKB, and we are happy we did. VKB provided a lower estimate than other companies, and their reviews were good. As our designer, Sean was easy-going, accommodating and patient in explaining our options. He promptly created the 3d pdf files with the design of our kitchen, which were helpful to have throughout the project. Adam was in charge of our project, and his responsiveness and understanding were outstanding. At one point we were a bit unhappy with a corner cabinet, but reluctantly we felt we needed to "settle" because there was not sufficient space for a Super Susan. Adam made some research and promptly contacted us with a solution that was perfect for enhanced functionality. Last but not least, Ismar, our foreman on the job was professional, responsive, pleasant, and amazingly skilled. He and his team worked diligently on the electrical portion, cabinet installation, backsplash, appliance installation, and painting. Everyone accommodated us to the best of their ability and always left our house clean and orderly. Well done, VKB!"

"We were very happy with the work Edwin and his team did. They framed out our unfinished basement, unfinished drywall and painted. They put in extra time and care to make sure everything was done properly. We will definitely hire him and his team for future projects."

"I had five reach in closets that I wanted organized and Lori Parisi was absolutely fantastic in patiently walking through the design of each one with me. She was energetic, punctual, polite, and creative. She took the time to explain reasons for different sections being a certain height/width, and she helped me see my closets in terms of their maximum functionality. She even considered the height of my hangers in her calculations for maximum potential. Lori was detail oriented and I appreciated her double and triple measuring to make sure my custom builds would fit like a glove. Her customer service went above and beyond. Not only did she prepare accurate drawings on the spot, but she faithfully followed up with me and made revisions to each design as I continued to voice my needs. She has a great eye for three dimensional space. Her expertise was invaluable in pointing out details to consider for every stage- from planning, to installation, to daily use."

"Winston installed a beautiful wrought iron railing extending up two steps and ending on the concrete landing of our front porch. He came when he said he would come and completed the work as promised efficiently and meticulously. I will use him again if I need welding done."

"Josh Ramirez has been our handyman for multiple projects at multiple properties for well over the past ten years. He and his coworkers have provided excellent carpentry and minor plumbing/electrical services for a wide variety of projects, including but not limited to floor installation, siding repairs, painting, cleaning, tree removal, and preparation/repair of properties being put up for sale. Love the "one stop shopping" expertise he provides. Recommend him without hesitation."

"The contractor completed the job within the time limit set, readjusting for additional work we requested.  The work done by the contractor was of excellent quality using the same workers for the entire 9 week job. The workers not only appeared to enjoy the work they were doing, but also enjoyed working together-they individually are very talented & detail-oriented. We were always comfortable with their presence, feeling free to leave the house for a couple of days at a time with no concerns.  It was also evident that the company owner and project manager were also comfortable with their workers.
   
We were always briefed on the day's and week's work plans (electric will be off for 2 hrs.--water will be off for a day, etc.) which allowed us to maintain a fairly "normal" life during this huge remodel.  The contractor worked closely with us describing different options available for each room's remodel as well as replacement of cabinets, appliances and fixtures.  All resulted in top line appliances/fixtures as well as the work itself.  This goes for the "areas you can't see" as well. The subsurface floor replacement was done with extra support features.  The replaced, and additional, electric, water and sanitary lines were also discussed, planned out with us and replaced with quality material in a professional manner.  "Extras" requested by us -- i.e. insulation, TV cable relocation, etc., were done at no extra charge.  The final painting, trim, tile work etc., is of the highest quality.
  
The installation of a sliding door in a previous window area is perfect.  Likewise the removal and sealing of the former door in the kitchen to the outside back of the house was done very nicely and with closely matching brick. This was done to expand the kitchen area. We have shown it to visitors who could not detect a difference.  We must add that any time our team had to access the basement for work, they had to deal with an area overly "full of stuff" but never complained.  Instead we were merely informed of what they needed to access and that they would be moving "stuff" to get the job done. 
  
The contractor (he and his work and office team) were available at pretty much any time we called.  If not, they got back to us promptly.  One of their key players in this team is Ms. Anya at the central office who coordinated any requests & was responsible for all ordering, account documentation & billing on a timely basis & in a professional manner. The phone was always answered at Home Breakthrough when we called.   Issues (which were really only small ones) were acted upon immediately.
 
The daily schedule of the team was always known and they arrived promptly, stopping on the way only to purchase necessary supplies for the day's work.  They worked Mon-Sat. Likewise the project designer paid timely visits to the site as milestones were reached, and key areas of the remodel were ready to be worked on.  Confirmation of the work to be done, as well as the appliances/fixtures to be installed, was professional and timely.
We cannot say enough about this great company and their workers."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Metal stud framing parts include the studs themselves, upper and lower tracks that act as top and bottom wall plates, various angle fasteners and clips, screws for fastening pieces togeher, metal straps, c-channel supports, and thicker steel supporting structures. Roof framing metal components include pre-fabricated trusses, heavy-gauge stud pieces, and various plates and fasteners.

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.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

You can enclose an open carport, however, there are several things to consider before opting to do so. You'll want to check local building codes and permit requirements before proceeding to make sure it’s legal. While you can sometimes stick-frame a carport enclosure, pre-fab kits are also available. Remember that you'll likely need to meet concrete slab regulations and provide lighting inside the structure. Both of which could substantially drive up costs.
