"I found consistently positive reviews and high ratings for Wilber's Painting. So, when I hired this company I had very very high expectations. They not only met those expectations, but they far exceeded them. Everyone from Danny (estimator/manger), to Melvin (project/team manager), to the hard working painting crew (consisting of Yimi, Donaldo and Victor) was courteous, professional and conscientious. The painting crew worked tirelessly (even through uncomfortably high temperatures). They meticulously, respectfully and quietly, prepped and painted the house and garage. They performed the highest quality and cleanest prepping, cutting and painting that I have witnessed. They protected the siding, windows, roofing, gutters and surrounding property, surfaces, plants and AC equipment. They thoroughly cleaned up at the end of each day and at the end of the project. AND... Wilber's Painting quoted, and honored one of the most competitively priced estimates (with no additional cost overruns). I will definitely hire these hardworking professionals in the future. I rarely write reviews like this. However, I rarely find a contractor as good as Wilber's Painting!"

"Aaron does nice work. He completed our project only when he was sure we were satisfied with the finished product. He matched paint colors and had to work around difficult weather conditions for the outdoor portion of the job. Everything looks great!"

"Luxe Reno and Design Remodeling crew were amazing to work with. They handled my remodel project with the utmost care. We met onsite to gather the scope of work and gave me a quote back in a timely manner. They were extremely transparent throughout the entire renovation process. When the work was completed I was so impressed with the quality of work and service they provided as a team. I will use them again in the future. Iâ m confident they do the best and most consistent kitchen and bathroom in the area!"

"The Legacy Group was the most professional team Iâ ve worked with in north jersey. From day one they respond to questions and or concerns. They finished on time and under budget. Many of their suggestions ended up saving me money and made the remodel look better. Given the demand for contractors due Covid and Ida I was expecting a nightmare and my experience was opposite so thank you Legacy!"

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."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

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.

Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.
