"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 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!"

"Chris Miller came to my home and provided an estimate for cleaning and staining my deck.  He helped me explore options, like removing the remnants of a mostly-removed layer of surface stain that a previous owner had put on and partially taken off, matching the color of the remaining stain so as to save money by avoiding the expense of removal, etc.  He also advised me about what was realistic for treatment of the concrete patio below the deck.  Chris was knowledgeable and helpful.  He didn't pressure me to do anything more expensive than necessary, in fact encouraged me that we could try to match the remaining stain and if necessary do the removal and update the stain treatment later on.  He offered to include treatment of the portion of the concrete patio that most needed it at a reduced price as part of the job.  The price he quoted was fair, I believe, though it turned out to be higher than I can afford at the moment, given the press of some other expenses I'm facing, so I did not have them do the work.  If I need deck treatment in the future though, particularly when I have more available funds, I will seriously consider having them do the work.  Based on my interaction with Chris, and with the nice lady in the office named Aaliya, I would recommend them.

"About five years ago, I had Chris and his team install a French door and vinyl tile in my kitchen and dining room. I was very impressed with the professionalism and skill of the team... always on time and exceptional job. Recently, I asked Chris to give me an estimate on a small repair job. Again , he was extremely helpful. I recommended Leon to my sister and my nephew and they were very satisfied with his work."

"Fence turned out perfect - everything from start to finish was a smooth process, great price for all the work that was done. We went with New Cedar semi-transparent oil stain and it made our fence look new again. Will be recommending to others. Thank you Cenia."

"Henry and his crew are beyond courteous, professional, and pay precise attention to detail. I originally hired H and M to stain my fence but had another emergency that Henry also ended up taking on. First, the fence stain looks GREAT. The team power washed the fence clean of debris, then returned after it was dry to apply the stain. They used the proper staining technique and paid specific attention to detail. They wrapped all items near the fence that could not be moved to protect it from unwanted stain. The job is VERY clean and neat and the fence looks great! I was offered a variety of stains and Henry helped me with any questions I had. In addition, I also had to have my door replaced. Henry was not originally scheduled to do this but politely agreed when he saw my need. He replaced the entire door and frame, including trim and paint. The paint job was VERY neat and professional and the trim replacement and caulking make it look seamless. I cannot express how grateful I am for their quick reply in my time of need and their keen attention to detail no matter what task they are given. I cannot recommend these guys enough! I have found my go-to contractor. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and overall outgoing personalities set them high above anyone else."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

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.

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 cost to convert a carport into a garage averages about $22,000, ranging from about $15,000 and $55,000. Additional cost factors to consider include size, time of year, and how much of the carport you can reuse. Other cost factors include the kinds and amounts of materials used, such as:

  • Add insulation: $1 per square foot

  • Add drywall: $1–$3 per square foot

  • Add window: $450–$2,000 per window

  • Add outlets: $75–$500

  • Add garage door: $250–$11,200

  • Enclose framing: $5–$13 per square foot

  • Replace roofing: $1,000–$2,000
