"It went very well because the work was done in a timely manner and the contractor completed the project as promised. I appreciated his flexibility when a family matter resulted with me having to adjust the completion date. The contractor was willing to work with me as well as share some insight as to how my family issue could be addressed. I am grateful for the concern about my personal well-being; therefore, I highly recommend Skies are the Limit for any remodeling work that you may need."

"Ryan is an excepional contractor. We have had a lot of work done over the years and he is one of the best. Always on time, responsive, good at communication, and a pleasure to work with. Ryan discovered an issue with our engineering plans and had it rectified. His subcontractors were all great. All town inspections went well and were immediately approved. Indigo is the company I will be using in the future."

"didn't like that they came for an estimate and then when the contractor came he didn't know what needed to been done. the estimate was off . was given a range of 450.-750.00 the contractor had to remeasure all of the things i wanted done and then had to go purchase the materials which i was paying by the hour, i felt like the initial estimate should have given him the required information so that he could show up at the job site with the materials."

"My wife and I were on a tight schedule after purchasing our first home. We were moving to NJ from the city and had limited time to renovate our home due to our apartment lease expiration. Lima Contracting was able to complete all of our task list and MORE in the amount of time that other contractors said they could not. Lionel, Rob and their crew worked tirelessly to make our first home perfect for us. After the 2-month job was completed, we couldn't have been happier. The house that we bought was gone and what was left, was ours.

Customers say: Quality work

"They are not local to my area. Please, hire local. And this is for Angi: Try not to recommend contractors who are a significant distance away, in this case around 80 miles (and 2 states) away. Great website, appears to be professionally designed and maintained, I like what they do (judging from the content in the website) but I am outside their service area. I don't live in that area. If I owned a home or apartment in that area, I would hire them."

"The bench mark for any contractor is to ask the customer if they had another project would they use the same contractor again. My answer in regard to DDP Construction would be, in a word, "ABSOLUTELY". The finish work was impeccable. Darek is very personable, knowledgeable, reliable and also got good deals on appliances and counter tops, but most importantly, he is accessible. He did a complete renovation on my kitchen. He was on the job every day, not all day long, but available if I had questions. Are there hidden problems and surprise costs when they open your walls, ceiling and floor? Of course there are, but they were handled professionally the very next day. Is your wife going to be completely satisfied? Of course she's not, but she was happy with the finish results. She wanted a flush mounted stove and refrigerator, didn't happen in a 10' by 10' room, but that's wasn't Darek's fault. She thinks the cabinets could have been a little wider and deeper but we both like the soft close doors and drawers, and the construction is excellent. Over the past few years I've had occasion to use about 4 or 5 different contractors for different projects such as roofing, siding, walkways and entry doors. Would I use any of them again? In four words, "not even at gunpoint". Generally you see the general contractor once or twice to sign the contract and to pick up the money and that's it. Like I said, Darek worked with us thru every step of the project and personally saw to any modifications we requested. I would highly recommend DDP Construction and will most likely use them again when I re-do my deck, when I find that bucket of money."

Unfinished 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.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.

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.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.
