"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."

"We hired Home Masters through Angi's and couldn't be happier. Our concrete porch was pitted and cracked, and our front step was not ADA compliant and difficult to use, since I'm disabled. Jim was a pleasure to work with, and his experience was evident from our first meeting. His crew started the project exactly as promised, and the finished job couldn't look nicer. The men cleaned up all the debris, and you'd never guess that there had ever been a mess. I've never had such pleasant experience with any contractor as I did with Jim. I highly recommend Home Masters."

"Summary: Bryan did an excellent job building a metal roof over an existing concrete slab in my backyard. I am very happy with the work that he did. In fact I have received compliments from three different neighbors, including one that I had never met before but saw the work being done from the street and wanted to take a look because he wanted to do something similar with his home. I have already recommended him to a friend, who decided to go with Bryan for a project. And I would hire Bryan again for future work. More Detailed Review: I have an existing concrete slab in my backyard that I wanted to build a roof over. Bryan was one of four contractors I interviewed for the project. I decided to go with Bryan because I liked that he was very straight forward and I felt his quote was fair and reasonable. My township requires that either the homeowner submit drawings for the project or that an architect be hired. I am not an engineer and I have never worked construction before. Although all of the contractors recommended that I submit my own drawings because it was a straightforward project and I could save myself several hundred dollars, Bryan was the only one that offered to help me with them, which he did. And this was before I even agreed to hire him. As a new homeowner and somebody who has heard one too many stories of home improvement projects gone wrong, I appreciated the fact that Bryan was very patient and always answered any questions or concerns that I had. In addition, I was always able to get a hold of him by phone or email. And once work had begun, he checked in with me at different stages of the project to make sure that I was satisfied with the progress so far. The start date was delayed a couple of times because of all the bad weather that we had. However, Bryan was very good about keeping me informed during this time and I was always able to get a hold of him when I wanted an update on things. When the project did begin, I was very pleased with how smoothly the work progressed and how everything was completed in a timely fashion. The footings were dug and inspected within a couple of days. Once the footings passed inspection, the frame was put up several days later. After the framing passed inspection, the roof was built and the trim was quickly put up. It is clear that when you hire Bryan to do a job, your project is his priority until it is completed. And I was pleased with how his crew kept the work area clean and professional every day after the day was done. As I mentioned, two of my immediate neighbors saw the work that had been done and were very complimentary of it. This includes my neighbor who has personally done a lot of home renovations on his own house. I also had a neighbor from the next street over stop by and ask to take a look at the work (at this time only the frame had been built) because he wanted to do something similar in his backyard. He was also very impressed with the quality of the work. I am very happy with the work that Bryan did and how professional and reliable he was during the whole process. And I highly recommend him."

"Henry contacted me immediately once I put my request through, even though it was Sunday. We made an appointment for that same Sunday afternoon, he saw what had to be done, gave me a very reasonable estimate and went to work right away. Very professional, open minded and friendly. We scheduled more repairs for next week, which I hadn’t planned, due to his likable, friendly and professional demeanor. I would Highly recommend him to anyone needing home repairs."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

Yes, using certified lumber and engineered wood products for reduced environmental impact.

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.

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.
