"Art is compassionate and thoughtful in addition to being highly skilled. I needed a second rail on my steps for stability due to arthritic knees. Art and his crew made sure the rail was strong and secure. I feel very safe using it. His prices are very fair. He and his crew are punctural, hard working and did the work quickly. I would hire him again in a heartbeat."

"They did a really good job and they stand behind their work. The prices are competitive and they take pride in their work. I had a really old front door that was not insulated and they put in a new one with plenty of insulation. They also put in a new storm door and a garage side door that meant making a new doorway that's sealed properly. They answered all my questions and were respectful of the property"

"Jason at Northstar Landscaing demoed our old deck and build our replacement deck. I opted for pressure treated lumber. I am giving him a 5 star review which he deserves. Old deck came out in one day. New deck was built in a timely manner even working around mid-November weather. My family and I are very happy with the new deck ! Even the city inspector called it a "good looking deck" and he inspects them daily. After the build was complete Jason did a great cleanup of the area and even reseeded some of the surrounding lawn and mulched around the perimeter ! I would hire Jason again and recommend him for any deck project !"

"I have engaged with a lot of contractors while updating my 40 year old home. Rekuta Construction Services was by far the best experience. He provided an accurate quote, was very reliable and has excellent craftsmanship. He was thorough in his description of how long the project would take and met his timeline. I will definitely be using him in the future."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

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