Customers say: True professional

"Pat masterfully sealed our windows against ants and water damage. He found the most cost efficient way to prevent further damage and fixed the already present damage -saving us a lot of money (we didn’t have to buy new windows!). We then hired him again to fix water damage in a closet with the same results. It was a pleasure working with Pat from beginning to end. His work is reliable and, even more important, so is his word. He finds a cost saving way to do what is needed, explaining the whole way through, and then sees the job until the very end. It’s a pleasure having park on the job because he is so polite and brings a positive energy. His patience, amiability, and experience make a powerful combination. Through demonstrative reliability, Pat has become “our guy” for all house-related work. We highly recommend him"

"Mike and, his helper did a fantastic job repairing the drywall crack in our dining room ceiling. There were several steps involved which included repainting the entire ceiling, but Mike did not cut any corners, and did things right the first time. He thoroughly cleaned up afterwards, and you would never know that we had had work done, except for the fact that the ceiling was as good as new. He works very hard, with a measure of Integrity you don’t always find with contractors. He arrived on time, and his work was very fairly priced. He will be on my shortlist for any home repairs in the future."

"We had Supreme Pro Construction and his crew build our deck in our townhouse complex. Our deck was old and rotting. Supreme Pro Construction earned their name by doing a fabulous job reconstructing our deck in Trex. He was great with the building dept here in Wayne and submitted beautiful drawings for us. Supreme Pro Construction and his crew did a beautiful job. Start to finish and at a reasonable price. I would highly recommend Supreme Pro Construction!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.
