"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!"

"Tim was prompt, professional & listened to my questions and answered my questions patiently. His knowledge of materials and costs helped me get this project done well & in my spending plan too. My decks are now in great shape, look better than they have for some time, since Dominion’s very skilled crew replaced worn decking and stained the deck and railings. Our family can really enjoy this special part of our home for years to come now!"

"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."

"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!"

"Arrived on time. Job was done within the time frame quoted. The Finish looks perfect. I am so excited about my roofing replacement I did just now! When I first bought the house two years ago, I had absolutely no idea what needed to be removed and replaced, but Elite work home improvement made it happen with no fuss or muss."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them.
