"A few days after we signed the contract, they arrived to deliver materials and to begin removing the old deck. That was on a Friday. They continued to work Saturday and Monday, and completed building the replacement deck on Tuesday. The new deck and set of stairs seem very safe and they look great! The carpenters who rebuilt this deck were knowledgeable and always very pleasant. They worked through an awful windstorm, but once they started the job their priority was to complete it. They left everything nice and clean. We will certainly enjoy using this deck this spring and summer!"

"J and A Home Remodeling Date: 4/17/2019 by Dominic F. Annandale NJ It is not often that I take the time to write a review for services rendered except for when the experience is positive and worthy of accolades. The exceptional work recently completed, on 4/17/2019 by J and A Home Remodeling, installing new windows for our home rises to that occasion. Through the years my wife and I have owned and renovated several homes dealing with a variety of contractors whose customer service satisfaction was as varied as the work needed. Now retired and on fixed incomes, the importance of being assured of receiving value for our dollars had become paramount and with Owner/Operator Joe Markey that goal was achieved. Our first introduction to Joes work came from a business associate who recommended him highly for some interior painting that was needed. Joe showed flexibility with scheduling out of concern for our needs and performed the service both timely and with close attention to detail. An offhand comment regarding a desire to have our windows replaced for the past few years led to Joe apprising us as to the depth of services he renders, and within 48 hours we had been shown a sample of the windows, provided pricing info, detailed spec information as to quality, warranty coverage, the installation process, scheduling needs/accommodations, and commitment to personally perform the work. Within the time frame of barely one and a half days, I witnessed Joe, with assistance from an equally competent technician Ed, personally change 16 windows from start to finish. The proficiency with which they worked as a team was amazing to observe. The removal, replacement, insulating, caulking, and exterior aluminum wrapping/embellishments were performed without any interior or exterior mess that we had to concern ourselves with. The final look significantly enhanced the street appeal of our house and was everything we were expecting. The noise reduction, ease of cleaning, and energy saving aspects will be paying dividends for years to come. Joe Markeys J and A Home Remodeling has proven itself to be a reliable, professionally operated, and competitively priced company driven by a desire to leave its customers satisfied, and that mission was accomplished. We would have no hesitation to hire J and A for our rear deck and patio that the wife is now throwing hints about. The personalized touch that Joe Markey offers is a refreshing change from the larger franchised firms out there."

"Tony & his crews have always done a great job for me. I've been using their services for at least 15 years now - everything from exterior painting, replacing siding, building new entrance to my deck, etc. Tony responds quickly, he shows up when he says he will, he does what he says he's going to do. I have found his pricing consistent with the high quality of his work. His crews are polite, work hard & always clean-up at the end of each working day. Couldn't be happier."

"We are very happy with the bathroom renovation that Angel did for us. He is an experienced and skilled union carpenter from NYC who is now giving it a go in New Jersey. He is very conscientious and eager to please. Our older home threw him a few curveballs at him, but he was able to adjust to them, and our smaller bathroom looks great. He takes his time because he wants to get everything done correctly. We are very pleased with him, his reasonable prices and his good work that we’re now having him do some extra work for us. We recommend him. Pictures below of Angel's work and how our bathroom was before he redid it."

"Darren Caporelli and his team are the best! We had a big Living Room project where we asked them to custom-build a pair of bookshelves plus custom-build a TV stand and they built it exactly as I had envisioned it. It is perfect to the millimeter and so beautiful!! We also wanted paneling, trim and molding on our walls and they beautified our place to the exact detail that we wanted it, with such care and artistry in their work, working around the tricky vents and outlets seamlessly. They were respectful, timely and always cleaned up the space each day before leaving. I am thrilled with their work and give them A++ for their professionalism and craftsmanship! Thank you Darren, Jimmy, Jack and Brandon!!!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

A-frame homes are on the smaller side. While there’s no set square footage amount it has to be, it will usually come in around 1,000 square feet or smaller.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.
