Customers say: Quality work

"Nick was great to work with. He was professional, prompt and thorough. He was undeterred by the little (and big) things that come up when working on older homes, and just plowed ahead and got things done. The workmanship is excellent and the job took exactly the time he said it would. Good guy. Good carpenter."

"After costing out new cabinets vs new doors and drawers to facelift our 10 year old kitchen, we decided new doors and drawers would achieve the look we desired. Dmitry was fantastic- he came out and measured every single one, built and installed them himself. We went from a sea of golden oak, outdated cabinets, to beautiful, white shaker style fronts. He uses commercial grade paint and sprayed them all in his shop with the color we selected - perfection. We have received so many compliments since our project wrapped up. I look forward to hiring Dmitry to build some mud room lockers/storage for us when we are ready to tackle that project! Thanks Dmitry!"

"After about 10 years of using our couch it was still in great condition but I needed to have the 3 couch cushion foam & down inserts replaced as they had gone flat. I was very pleased with the quality, value, and professionalism that Niola funiture offered! I went to A1 Foam & Ackermans (quoted 2.5x what I paid at Niola for less comfortable cushions) and not only were both more expensive but I was not impressed with the quality of foam, the much longer turn around times, or professionalism. I am very pleased with my new cushions. I would highly recommend Niola Furniture and plan to use them for all my future needs! Great company and love supporting small business! Canâ t recommend enough!"

"Project of demo old deck and build a new to the same plan did not get started until late November. There were periodic weeks during the winter that did not allow for any work. The company owner/manager(Ivan) kept us informed of the status. The quality of workmanship was very good and followed the city inspection. Project that was over 15K came in at the bid price."

"Alex, the owner has the most amazing work ethic. It was quite a large project to replace all the flooring on my main level. Alex is polite and does excellent work. He quoted us two days to complete the project and he was right on time. He cleaned up everything and left the house spotless. Thank you Alex!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

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.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.
