"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"

"Harvey and his crew were absolutely top notch!! From the first moment I reached out to Harvey I had a good feeling, and that was confirmed when we met for an evaluation of the work and an estimate. Harvey's communication is probably the best of any contractor I've ever experienced, his prices are very fair, and he's punctual! My floors look like new and the walls came out beautifully, you can't even notice the spots that were so severely damaged before! Once the primary work was finished there were a few minor touches that needed to be addressed and Harvey came personally to oversee everything was done perfectly! You'd think it was his own house he was working on, he took such care! I can not say enough good things about this man and his work, take it from me I'm as picky and as much of a perfectionist as they come! For any contractor needs, look no further than Harvey at Heartland!"

"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 did an amazing job with both renovations. Like many, i had a very difficult time choosing a contractor because you want someone that is honest and reliable. I priced out many general contractors and even priced out contractors for the individual jobs but Jeff was the most reasonable and was able to complete every part of the job. He was also very flexible as we changed what we wanted throughout the job. Jeff is very conscientious and responsive throughout the whole process and will make sure the job is done right. He also credited me for any extra items i purchased and was very fair when it came time to determine the final payment. I would highly recommend Jeff and in fact he is currently doing renovations to my mothers house after i recommended him to her."

"I recently collaborated with AVSTEP for various home improvement projects, including roof repair, patio door replacement, electrical work, ceiling recess light installment, new flooring, curtain rack installation, water pipe replacement and ceiling replacement. I am extremely pleased with their work. AVSTEP's expertise in roof repair was evident as they efficiently addressed and explained the issues, providing me with confidence throughout the process. The patio door replacement was seamlessly executed, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality. Their electrical work adhered to the highest safety standards, and the installation of recessed lights showcased their modern design sensibility. The new flooring, curtain rack, and ceiling replacement projects were executed with precision, adding to the overall appeal of my home. AVSTEP's attention to detail, professionalism, and commitment to quality make them my preferred contractor for future projects. I highly recommend AVSTEP to anyone seeking reliable and skilled professionals for their home renovations."

"Sal and his team are thorough professional who know what they are doing. We just had them remodel two bathrooms. They finished the project on time, worked creatively around our needs and certain surprises discovered only after demolition. They suggested great, pragmatic design options. Everything came out stunningly beautiful, made to our tastes and preferences. Sal worked his magic to fit the whole project within our budget. He also threw in some upgrades we had not initially planned but made made sense during the project. His team took care of clean up after work regularly so we could continue living in the house reasonably comfortably while the work was going on. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable, accommodating home improvement contractor who ensures the customer is happy."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.

It's possible to turn your carport into a living space, but there are additional factors to address over turning it into a garage. HVAC, plumbing, and electricity won't be optional, and you'll need finished flooring, drywall, trim work, and legal ceiling height, for starters. Also, keep in mind that living space conversions may require upgrading the foundation underneath, and the permits might be more expensive as well.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

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.
