"The work was done very professionally and they discussed different options. The half-deck and wide staircase with 45-degree angled corners made the look and flow artistic and pleasing to the eye. The posts and stair base were set in concrete and the whole job was completed in 1.5 days. I akready recommended Aleni Construction to my next foor neighbor who is considering a project. Overall I am pleased with the work, the carpentry and the group."

"Overall, they were good. Efficient and polite. The quality of their work is very good. The manner in which they work needs improvement. Clipping chain links and allowing them to fall on wood floors â ¦ placing old fixtures on wood floors. However, the two gentlemen on the job were extremely knowledgeable, and I would most certainly hire them again."

"Olagoke Peters is an outstanding craftsman. The base of an antique table was badly damaged in its transport from Florida to NJ. Two of the legs were broken off and the connections to the tabletop severely damaged. Mr. Peters picked the table up at our home and returned it a week later looking like new. He did an amazing job!"

"International Construction did a great job! It was a pleasure working with them, especially since this was our first time hiring a contractor. They showed up on time and completing the work in a reasonable amount of time for the project. Even when there were hiccups they helped rectify the issues and talked us through them. We definitely hire them in the future for another project."

Woodworking FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

Most contractors do not charge for meetings, but it can depend on the project, mainly if it includes detailed consultations or project planning. For general estimates, homeowners shouldn't expect to be charged. Always ask up front about meeting fees to avoid surprises and ensure you know what’s included in the process.

Professionals ensure safe, thorough repairs using quality materials, extending the life of your structure.

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.
