"Very pleased with the work and look. Very satisfied overall. The estimator and supervisor Alex was very attentive, prompt and willing to answer any and all questions I had. The two carpenters in particular who did the majority of the work were excellent. Only complaint is minor as perhaps they could have cleaned up better when work was finished as we found many plastic labels that came off the ends of the new deck boards as well as a few random nails. Again a very minor complaint."

"We are blessed to have found John! The job he did for us is second to no one I've ever hired. He painted our entire two floor house, including trims and closets with absolute precision and professional beyond any work I've seen. I have owned two other homes over the years and have hired others for the same work. John surpasses any other painter we have hired. He took his time and always professional and polite. The cost of this large job was more than reasonable. We appreciate you John and thanks for EVERYTHING ?"

"We used Rivera Construction to reconstruct our deck, and we couldn’t be happier! Andrew and Dan are real pros, especially at a time when finding responsive and reliable help is so hard to find. Rivera provided us with detailed estimates, and they were very upfront and communicative as issues came up. They provided a realistic and true to schedule timeline and knew how to work with the town for permits and inspections. We will definitely use them again for our home renovation needs!"

Customers say: Super punctual

"I contacted the provider in late September requesting an estimate to paint some doors and trim, and to replace a dryer exhaust vent at my home.  Norm Reilly, the owner, set up a meeting with me on 9/22 to review the work needed.  Norm noticed that some of the trim work had some rotted wood, and recommended replacing this wood.  The other provider who provided an estimate suggested putty and other workarounds.  Considering the carpentry work suggested and the dryer vent (I only had the 2nd provider provide an estimate on the doors and trim as they were a painter) Norm's estimate was better for a better solution.  Norm told me it would be 2-3 weeks before his team would get to my job.  We had 13 straight days of rain, but they were still able to get to my job in 3 weeks.  A carpenter came out to take care of the wood replacement and dryer vent.  The following day (10/14) a painter came out to paint the trim and doors.
Everyone was courteous and did a very good job.  My one quibble is that the painter left paint chips on my front steps.  As I reviewed the work done, I specifically asked him to clean those off before he left but he seemed to be in a hurry to leave.  But if I needed similar work done again, my first call would be to Reilly's Handyman Services.

"The carpenters added eight shelves and removed the old clothes rods. First, the crew placed protective cover on our hardwood floors from the entryway to the closet. Since the weather was rainy, the crew needed to cut wood in my garage and they completely covered the items in the garage to prevent dust and wood shavings from blowing on the items. The carpenters were extremely professional and their work was impressive. The only recommendation that I would make is to ensure that the wood seams are completely caulked on the undersides of the shelves as well. The walls, ceiling and shelves were painted and the final product is truly stunning. Everyone who has seen the book room gave it glowing compliments."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.

Stick frames, metal frames, or prefabricated concrete frames are included in framing a house, along with creating the framework and space for windows, doors, and entryways. Other aspects of developing a home—like drywall, insulation, windows, doors, and more—are not included in the cost to frame a house.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

Bow windows need support because they are large and extend out from the exterior wall of the home. Bow windows may extend 1 foot to several feet from the outside of the home, so you’ll need to provide additional support to handle this weight. A window contractor will be able to provide the proper amount of support for your new bow window.
