"We couldn't be happier with our experience with Design For Living Contracting LLC! From start to finish, they were fantastic to work with—the entire process was seamless and stress-free. The cost was exactly as quoted, which was a huge plus for our budget. The team was not only friendly and helpful but also consistently on time and incredibly polite throughout the project. They exceeded every expectation we had and finished everything on schedule, which is a rare find these days. It truly was the best contractor experience we've ever had! To top it all off, an independent designer stopped by to look at the finished work and was blown away with the Kitchen and loved the new Luxury Vinyl Planks that they installed, remarking that it was simply outstanding. I can't recommend Design For Living Contractors highly enough. If you want quality, reliability, and a team that genuinely cares about your satisfaction, look no further. Thank you, Ben, Drew, EJ, Jose and the rest of the team. Five"

"We started out with a budget just for the kitchen to repaint the kitchen cabinets, replace the flooring with porcelain tiles, redo the peninsula, use quartz for the counter tops, add recess lighting, and center the lighting fan. Into the job, based on Harvey's excellent advice, we decided to get new kitchen cabinets, have Harvey and his team build storage cabinets above the new cabinets instead of having a soffit built in that open space. We also had a pantry rebuilt by Harvey and his team as well. Lastly we had the peninsula changed to an island with cabinets added underneath as well. Also, we decided to redo the small (powder) bathroom on the main floor. Harvey and his team were awesome. He was very patient in allowing us to make changes to the original plans that turned out quite outstanding. His team always showed up early for work. The quality of the work was simply outstanding. Instead of half doing things like what we got with the Home Depot contractors in years prior, Harvey and his team took things back to the studs and made sure the things were built the right way. I now feel very confident about what is behind the walls and how the work was done. I will attached pictures of the kitchen and bathroom by next week. We are still putting things back into the new cabinets now and etc. We are extremely happy with the work Harvey and his team did. We intend to use them for a few other projects in the future. If you're really thinking about having work done on your home, I would highly recommend that you speak with Harvey to have his team come to do an amazing job for you as well. He will work with you on to provide competitive pricing. In the end it's all about quality work that you can feel great about. We feel great!!!!!!! :)"

"Eddie Costa and his ETC Home Improvement team are the only general contractors I will work with. I have used ETC many times over several years, and I am never disappointed. Eddie is my general contractor for several rentals and my home. He put a beautiful kitchen in a shore rental, does every aspect of the construction bringing in great plumbers and electricians, too. Eddie aligns his work and subcontractors so it goes fast. He brings in locally constructed kitchen cabinets that are beautiful. Eddie is just finishing a home office addition and master closet for me, and it turned out perfect. Finish carpentry by Carlos is amongst the best I have seen. I can’t say enough about how professional Ed is, and all the team he brings in. His prices are very reasonable for the quality you will get. For major projects, you will not have to hires anyone else, he has the best on his team. I recommend Eddie and ETC at the highest level."

"Jeff has been my contractor for the past 5 years and has done all types of projects for me including the addition and renovation of bathrooms, finishing a basement, remolding a kitchen, etc. Needless to say i trust Jeff to get the job done. When looking for a contractor, you want someone you can trust and is responsive and Jeff has shown that his is both of those things. He is responsive, fair, thorough, and will make sure the job is done the way you want it. In this case, I had Jeff completely renovate the exterior of one of my rental properties with new siding, new exterior doors, new front steps and new gutters. Jeff did the job efficiently and ensured all details were taken care of. The end results came out amazing. I consider Jeff my contractor whenever I look to renovate and use his for any jobs no matter how big or small."

Customers say: True professional

"I contracted with Sonntag Construction for a redo of my 10' x 50' dock. The project included reinforcement of the basic structure, new decking with composit material, as well as redesign to satisfy code requirements. It was a true pleasure dealing with Michael throughout the entire process. Michael is a real professional - he is a knowlegable and precise carpenter, efficient and neat in his work habits, and very importantly, shows up when he says he will. His pricing is more than competitive with other local contractors and his finished product is beautiful and exactly what wanted. I plan to utilize Michaels skills for future projects and I would encourge anyone seeking a quality contractor to reach out to Sonntag Construction first."

"Anthony & his team helped give us our dream space. One of our favorite things about him was his communication - I don't think there was one time where I reached out via text/call & didn't get a response within 15 minutes, if not immediately. He was willing to work with us throughout the project and be understanding of our situation. Example: Phase 1 was demo, but he held off on demoing the entryway section going into the new space in understanding that it was the midst of summer & our furnace was not strong enough to get into the new space. He is also adaptable as the project progresses -- we changed our mind on the finish on the beam & communicated that to his guys effectively. There were a few 'unforseeables' that came up, but he communicated the information well & came up with a fair amount. With the additions of the project, he was nice enough to be flexible with us on the payments. I've heard hundreds of horror stories from contractors; you can certainly move forward with Anthony & his great group of guys in confidence."

"We could not have asked for a more professional and communicative company. They showed up on time, every time and did the job perfectly. Not only did they do everything they could to keep the house clean during construction. they didn’t waste a minute of time getting the job done. If you need your floors or your ceiling or any part of your home remodeled or repaired this is the company to hire."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

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.

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.
