"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."

"Rolando and his crew were quick, courteous and professional. He was the first one to respond to my request, and came to my home the day after. He did a good job repairing the balances on my Anderson windows. On top of that, he was willing to teach me the repair so that I can DIY in the future if I want to. Would highly recommend Rolando for window repair works."

"It was an absolute pleasure working with GST Carpentry and Lester! Lester was dedicated to ensuring my dining room vision was brought to life. His work exceeded all of my expectations. I could not recommend this company enough! From start to finish all of the details were discussed with me. Lester sent photo updates throughout the day so I could see the progress. He even went above and beyond to leave my home clean after finishing for the day."

"Contacted Sky's the Limit to patch/repair/paint an older addition. He exceeded our expectations. The work was exceptional, his crew was clean and neat and they completed on time and on budget as promised. Could not be happier with Adrian and his team. It's rare to find an honest contractor these days. Will definitely be recommending him."

"Our experience with Indigo Construction was very pleasing. They recently completed major repairs in our home, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. The owner, Ryan, was incredibly professional, honest, and easy to work with from start to finish. His communication was excellent, and the quality of craftsmanship was outstanding. Ryan and his team paid close attention to the details and left everything spotless when the job was done. We highly recommend Indigo Construction and will absolutely be using them for all our future projects!"

"They did excellent work at a excellent price. Most companies will look at the job and give you a price, usually building in extra costs for possible unseen issues. Integrated Electrical Solutions charges an up front $125 for coming out and $115/hour. In my case, moving a dining room light fixture, I had estimates ranging from $325 to $570. Because the work turned out to be straight forward their actual cost was $210."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

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.

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

Yes, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.
