"Justin did an awesome job building our dock. He solved a few problems we had with the existing dock and reimagined the space to a much more usable pier/dock while working within our existing footprint. We also used for several house repairs and was very pleased with all results. All work was completed in a timely manner and work site was always cleaned up. We were informed every step of the process. I would definitely recommend for dock and any handyman needs."

"Fantastic roof job. Very careful- we have not found a single nail in our yard, flowerbeds were covered and they were careful not to damage them.. Fast- Erick showed up the day I called for a quote, and then the day of service they were in by 7:30 and out by about 3:30. Very fair price- 3 got three quotes and Erick's was the lowest but offered exact same service. Good- the roof looks great, flashing well done, everything even and smooth. Would definitely recommend them. The only lesson I learned? And this is just an FYI, nothing to do with Canales- If you have stuff in your attic, I recommend covering it with a tarp. The old asphalt roof grit falls in the old nail holes and makes a mess."

"I have worked with S&S on multiple projects for over a year, I am a Community Association Manager and manage 14 communities, including mid-rise condo buildings, townhomes, and single-family communities. I rely on having highly reliable, multi-disciplined contractors. S&S is, without a doubt, the best I have ever worked with in over 15 years of property management. They have responded to flooded condominiums that affect multiple units and common areas, to severely damaged roofs (both in townhomes and mid-rise buildings), to simple plumbing, electrical, and ceiling/drywall repairs. They expertly install cabinetry, flooring, window - whatever you need. They even fix squeaky doors that nobody else can. They have pressure-washed and re-caulked 5-story buildings, lifted sinking sidewalks. I could go on and on. They have their mitigation certification for water. mold and fire, they can do both the mitigation and rebuild. They have all of the necessary drying equipment, and have a 24-hour-a-day, ready-to-go trailer, so they can respond to disaster calls more quickly than any larger mitigation company I have worked with. They are also expert users of Xatimate, the software required by insurance companies for claims. I have used their mitigation and rebuild services more than a dozen times in the past year. I should also mention that they have an extremely capable, full-time crew, so the work gets done quickly. Whether you need a new roof, a porch, a new kitchen or bathroom, or smaller projects - S&S should always be your first call!"

"Paul Davis Restoration of Delmarva built my composite deck on a challenging work site. The new deck has custom steps, ramp, and benches. The deck skirting is unique and gorgeous. We are extremely pleased with the design and workmanship and have received many compliments from friends and neighbors. I want to thank Brian Rush, Josh, Brittney, and Christina. I especially want to thank Brian Pittman and his crew, Collin and Shawn. It was a pleasure dealing with everyone at Paul Davis."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

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.

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.
