"MW Construction built a new home for us and we couldn’t have been happier with the results. They were very professional and did a superb job. MW was quick to return our phone calls and answer any questions that we had during the building process. I would highly recommend them."
"Our project was a 14' x 14' screened porch. We selected Scott SCS from other contractors based on the interview, his knowledge, understanding of the project, and communication skills. He improved our original design and made numerous suggestions during the construction process. He understood our vision of the porch and he delivered. From start to finish Scott and his work crew were always on time, polite, professional, and cleaned up the area before departing every day. I was on site watching and taking photos. So I can attest to the craftmanship and attention to detail of the crew. Every day I was informed of their plans and then I provided my thoughts, ideas, and concerns. We are extremely pleased with the finish porch and I would highly recommend SCS. They are a 10 in every category."
"Z, Came to my home in Wildwood Crest. He gave me a quote to remodel my laundry room. He was professional, efficient but most of all he gave us advice. He went above and beyond our expectations. The laundry room looks great. I had loose steps coming from my back deck to the yard. I ask Z if that was something he can do? He said, let me grab lunch and a couple tools to do the step and I’ll be back. He gave me a great price and the steps are perfect. Real good guy and very honest. Ray"
"Roberto and his team were outstanding during my time of renovating my apartment. They were so efficient and so attune to detail that I was beyond satisfied, I was elated with the final results of the job they had done. I had no problems whatsoever throughout the whole process. Roberto is an experienced contractor who has an eye for the current style and went above and beyond for me with his services. He went out of his way to help me with more than I paid for and you don’t see this a lot of this in current day on contractors. What I love most about Roberto and his team is that he was honest and fair with me. I can trust him implicitly that he would do an emasculate job and he had the utmost respect for my expectations and concerns. I would hire him again for my next project and I would recommend him to anyone looking for someone to remodel a home/apartment. He is the best in the south jersey area hands down!!"
"Joe and his subs did a great job for us. Price was fair, and he was either here, or could almost always be reached, when the work was going on. All the subs were excellent at their specialty and also nice guys that you wouldn't mind letting in your home. Both Joe and they were always sensitive to the fact that we had to live here while the work was going on, and tried to inconvenience us as little as possible. Joe worked with us with each change and/or additional work we requested, and the addition to the bedrooms and new master bath were just what we hoped for. The finished product is beautiful, and we would recommend Joe for any job."
"Mr. Cowan was very responsive. He came out timely and performed the work as described. He also recommended some additional work that needed to be done. He took his work very seriously and did an excellent job. I believe he was a little highly priced, but it is very difficult to find a reliable chimney contractor, and therefore, well worth it. "
"Prompt, courteous and professional. My limited availability was accommodated. The faucet replacement was very quick and done professionally. The replacement parts were affordable and high quality. I would use Doc's again in the future."
""The Bathroom and Kitchen King Remodeling" is typically super busy, and you will most likely wait in line for you project to get started. It is well worth the wait! We could not be happier with the finished product. Our new bathroom is gorgeous! The contractor and all sub-contractors arrived on time and did impeccable work, from demolition to completion. They went above and beyond our expectations. I highly recommend "The Bathroom and Kitchen King Remodeling"; You will never have to worry about whether you made the right choice."
Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.
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.
Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.
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.
