Customers say: True professional

"Simply stated, the best possible carpentry service you can hire. In building a large deck off of the back of my house (project with a countless variables), Pat at Steadfast Carpentry worked to complete a design to my exact wants that will continue to impress everyone who sees it for decades. Pat demonstrated a deep knowledge and care for well-built and beautiful woodworking, and was able to exceed any expectations of build quality, cost, and aesthetics, whilst working safely and within the constraints of our town codes. I cannot overstate how friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and diligent he has been throughout the entire process. I am overjoyed with the final product, and can personally assure anyone looking for a carpenter that you have found the gold standard with Steadfast Carpentry. It is a true rarity to find the affordability, knowledge, and quality at this level."

"We recently had the pleasure of working with Marvin, Noel, and the entire Jeffries Building Solutions team on the renovation of our bathroom, and we can say without reservation that our experience was nothing short of exceptional. As everyone knows, renovations can be a complicated affair with various moving parts, and ours started with a complicated and unexpected leak. Marvin and Noel were instrumental in resolving this issue and working with our management company to ensure everything was completed properly. Not only did they have the expertise to identify the problem, but they acted promptly and effectively to fix it. They made that process smooth from start to finish. Throughout the renovation, their professionalism and craftsmanship stood out. They were always responsive to any questions and offered invaluable advice when it came to selecting finishes. But what really sets them apart is their willingness to go the extra mile and their attention to detail, which was unparalleled. I also appreciated their transparent pricing. The quote provided at the start of the project was the exact amount we paid upon completion, a testament to their integrity and commitment to customer satisfaction. In summary, Marvin, Noel, and the Jeffries team are consummate professionals who deliver top-notch service and craftsmanship. We couldn't be happier with our newly renovated bathroom and look forward to hiring them for future projects. We highly recommend Jeffries Building Solutions for anyone in need of quality renovations in NJ!"

"I never thought I would ever write a positive review with contractors. Top Pros completely replaced my old wood deck with composite. The detail and customization of the job was impeccable. As a customer who pays extra attention to minor details I can honestly write this to say thank you to Eric for building my deck, he used quality materials even new wood to drop a dumpster on my driveway was shocking. Eric was always on time, went beyond my expectations and always backed up his work. Don't think twice hire Top Pros it will be hard to find the friendliest, amazing prices and quality work from a local contractor. This is a real review from a real customer who is never 100% satisfied!"

"We had an outstanding experience with Aleni Construction. Aldo was responsive, extremely knowledgeable, and clearly an experienced professional who could identify smart enhancements others might miss. His recommendations were thoughtful and genuinely helpful, never salesy. His crew completed our project ahead of schedule and delivered beautiful, high-quality work with excellent attention to detail. When unexpected issues came up, Aldo handled them creatively and professionally, including custom-building molding for our French doors. His quote and pricing were more than fair, he communicated clearly throughout, and personally made sure every detail was perfect before finishing. The entire process was smooth and low-stress, and the results exceeded our expectations. We love our home even more now and will absolutely hire him again. Highly recommend Aleni Construction."

"The job was done as agreed. I am very pleased with the work and would hire him again. Anyone wanting their siding repaired should consider him. He was very clear on how the areas that needed fixing were going to get repaired. Everything was taken care of and even a spot I had not previously seen. They do very good work!"

"My parents and I live in a old brick apartment building in Hoboken that is from the 1880s. The bathroom in our apartment had not been updated since the 1940s. We needed help ASAP. We checked out Cesar s page and wanted to hire him immediately. The reviews speak for themselves. When he came into our apartment to give us a quote we knew that this was contractor we needed to get the job done. Cesar is affordable, friendly, and very accommodating to any issues or concerns you have before starting the project. Two massive issues with our project were that my dad has spinal & walking issues, so we needed the floors clear of all tools and materials at the end of the each day so that father could walk efficiently through the apartment. The other big issue was that we only have 1 bathroom, so Cesar agreed to work with us on pulling the toilet off and on as every day finished so that we did not have to leave our building to use the toilet. Him and his crew are the best and take pride in their work so that owner is happy with the final result. We brought the bathroom down to the bare bones and rebuilt it back up. I worked with him every step of the way to make sure that he needed all materials to get the job done in the time we needed. This project was an intense remodel with some of the hardest demo and substrate materials that an old bathroom can have. He didn t think anything of it. He has veteran experience in the field and this remodel only took 3 weeks. We are very impressed with Cesar s craftsmanship and professionalism and we will be hiring him again for any future interior projects."

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.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

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. 

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

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.
