"I hired them because of a referral from family. I saw that they did quality work and once I learned about his experience working with big government contracts, i decided to give them a shot. Needless to say, I was impressed and appreciative of the professionalism displayed everyday on the project. I would definitely recommend!"

"I was very pleased with the jobs this contractor did for us! He reworked a bottom cabinet and installed our first dishwasher. He scraped our garage ceiling, repaired trim on a door and repaired damaged Sheetrock on the walls before painting the whole garage. He was very informative before and during the work. Also he was very professional and yet friendly!! He will be the one we call first on our home projects!!"

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an excellent experience with our HVAC installation. Omar, the owner, was professional, knowledgeable, and very easy to work with from start to finish. He took the time to explain our options, answered all our questions, and made sure everything was done right. The installation was completed on time, the work area was left clean, and the system is running perfectly. It’s clear Omar takes pride in his work and cares about his customers. I highly recommend Omar and his company to anyone needing HVAC services."

"The installer was very professional and a problem solver. I had a microwave that needed replacing but the model was no longer available. The replacement frame didn’t fit perfectly, however the Gaston worked his magic. Installation was perfect…cosmetically and functionally!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

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.

Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.
