"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."

"We hired Top Pros to replace all of the badly damaged wood floor, rails and steps on our deck. We also needed some repairs on our roof. After getting several estimates, we chose to work with them due to the prior positive reviews and their good prices. Eric was a pleasure to work with and delivered an excellent finished product. He was very attentive, punctual and left everything in good order upon completion. We called him about 2 boards that were splintered and he promptly returned to replace them. We highly recommend Eric with Top Pros for your roof and deck repairs."

"My husband and I are first time homeowners. We bought our home back in September and weren't expecting to have to replace our roof and gutters so soon, but as you know the house decides what needs to be done and when. I did alot of research and got several quotes and talked with several high rated roofing companies. Uprise construction was by far the most responsive and best quote. They walked us through the entire process and answered ALL of our questions, some I even asked more than once!I felt comfortable with giving them our business. They came on Friday around 7 a.m and worked until about 5, towards the end the rain started to come down and they still got the job done! The roof came out looking beautiful! We are extremely happy with the quality of the work done. The materials they use are top notch. I want to thank you for being so kind,patient, and above all so professional through the entire process. This was a big deal for us and I couldn't have asked for better!ð"

"I received 3 roofing estimates, but Pro line was the only to thoroughly understand the full scope of the project (water infiltration into the basement) and recommend all of the correct fixes (repair/replace 2 gutters, add valley flashing at roof/wall intersection, replace building paper on wall below and replace flashing at wall/porch intersection to divert water away from foundation). Both other companies just offered band-aid solutions to the gutters and/or tried to up-sell replacing gutters that were not involved in the basement leak. Pro line's work was completed all in one day and has not leaked since. We just had the first heavy rain since the work was completed and the basement remained dry. We're very happy with their work and will keep them in mind for any future roofing or chimney work we might need!"

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

If you remove a load-bearing wall to create an entrance to a carport or covered patio, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,500, with an average cost of $6,400. Factors such as the type of addition and if that area needs additional work will add to the price.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

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.
