"I cannot sing the praises of Jose and his team enough. I purchased a new home that had carpeting everywhere and hired J & J Elite Carpentry Inc to replace with wood floors. They did an AMAZING job as you can see from the pictures. J&J even took care of replacing a few closet doors. Jose and his team are very friendly, knowledgable, patient, responsive, on time and professional. They communicate and are transparent with you every step of the way and get the job done with such great detail and care. They also specialize in other areas so I plan to hire them for other home repair needs."

"I was refer to Maurice by a friend who said he is very neat and fairly priced. What a amazing job Maurice did on my entire condo. Maurice is very professional,friendly,detailed orientated,trust worthy. He is excellent at time management and goes further then just meeting expectations. I was so impressed by how reliable and accurate he is. Maurice certainly went above and beyond to make my place look brand new which included extensive prep work and repair of all walls/storage rooms, in addition to painting all the interior doors. I highly recommend Maurice on every level of craftsmanship and service, and I will refer him to anyone who is in need of a painter."

"As it happens, Wilber's Painting has skilled carpenters on staff who are competent, experienced, and committed to old world craftsmanship. Our good fortune was getting Maynor, a highly talented carpenter, who constructed and installed the door, which is quite attractive. The installation was tricky because the 90 year-old frame was not perfectly squared but he managed to get the right fit. Mahogany was used for the door frame and safety glass for the insert. I opted not to have a screen insert, so the glass is a permanent fixture."

"

Rich and Jared (father and son team) of R.A.P. Painting did an amazing job on our much-needed pressure washing of the house in addition to the cleaning/staining of our 2-level deck and the wood frame surrounding the hot tub.

I called Rich and he returned my call the same day.  He came out to the house and gave us a very fair price for all of the services we requested.  He and Jared completed the work in about 2 1/2 days - they were very professional in their application of the stain and clean-up.  They both notified us of any changes to their schedule and returned my calls promptly if we had any questions.

We are very pleased with the results and would highly recommend this company to anyone in need of deck staining, pressure washing or gutter cleaning.  We will definitely use them again.

"Renovo came quickly to look at the project, explained what needed to be done and gave me an estimate of the cost. Then he returned the next day to perform the work. It was a great experience. I would definitely recommend them for any siding/roofing repair."

"I hired this company to replace my roof dumpster was delivered one day before they started the job. Very hard-working guys, they remove all shingles on a 20 square roof within 2h. unfortunately the plywood was bad and need it to be replaced these guys did something that no company would do it they removed all plywood did framing repair installed 5/8 plywood and charged me only for the cost of plywood. I give them 5 stars for the job that they did and i will never deal with any other company besides HomeMaster."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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 easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.
