"We hired J&M to install a concrete pad for our cottage, and the experience was so positive that we also asked them to quote and build a gable roof over our deck. From start to finish, the entire project exceeded our expectations. Andy provided the initial quote and ensured everything was properly engineered. Micah then took over coordination and was excellent to work with—communication throughout the project was clear, timely, and professional, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Finally, Jayson handled the construction, and his craftsmanship truly shows in the finished product. The structure looks fantastic, the workmanship is outstanding, and everything was completed right on schedule. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and would highly recommend J&M to anyone looking for high-quality work and a responsive, easy-to-work-with team."

"They created a new patio door screen for my new rental unit. From the first call to get a quote and then hiring them to do the job, I was so impressed with the excellent customer service and professionalism. They came to do the proper measurements and kept me informed of the time frame before installing was happening. My new screen door is perfect and I am so happy with the product and I tell everyone about this company and excellent customer service I received. Thank you much from a very satisfied customer."

"Excellent work. From the beginning of the meeting with the sales rep through the workers that handled the deck replacement, they were all friendly and professional. When the installers arrived on day one, they had the old deck tore off and the new deck done except for the stairs. The next day they completed the deck and cleaned up the work site. Love my new deck and how quickly the job was completed. I will hire them again for other projects I need done."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

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.

You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.

There are both temporary and permanent ways to enclose a carport. If you’re looking to enclose your carport for the winter, a canvas enclosure could do the trick. It won’t be as protective as a permanent structure, but it can offer some protection from elements like snow, rain, and wind. For a permanent enclosure, you can add extra walls, add a new vertical roof, or a lean-to addition on one side of the structure.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.
