"I recently had the pleasure of working with Mike and his team on a renovation project for both my bathroom and kitchen, and I must say, their work was exceptional! Mike stood out with his excellent communication skills. He was super communicative throughout the entire process, patiently accommodating changes and ensuring that every detail was to my liking. What really impressed me was Mike's commitment to my satisfaction. Unlike others who might rush to complete a job, Mike was always looking out for my best interests. He took the time to ensure that I was completely happy with the finished work, demonstrating a customer-first approach that is rare in the industry. Collaboration with Mike was a breeze. He was very collaborative, always open to suggestions and eager to incorporate my ideas into the project. This made the whole experience highly personalized and enjoyable. Another aspect where Mike truly shines is in his pricing. He offers really reasonable rates without compromising on quality. This was a huge relief, especially considering the scope of the renovation. Lastly, I must commend his team for their professionalism. They were incredibly respectful of my property during the renovation, which made the entire process less stressful."

J&J Elite Carpentry Inc. has a single mission: Complete Customer Satisfaction! We strongly believe in giving our customers the most for their money. So, we work with only the highest quality materials and experienced, professional craftsmen. We have consistently focused on the needs of our customers, providing personalized attention and a stress-free experience. A stair rail from J&J Elite Carpentry adds definite value to your home. We strive for perfection and believe that each project should be flawless, like a fine piece of furniture. Our balusters and handrails are carefully finished to bring out the best qualities of the wood. We take great pride in our work. Whether it's simple or elegant, for J&J Elite Carpentry it's not just a project, it's our passion. A staircase is one of the home's main focal points, a piece of hand-crafted art that makes a personal statement offering individual emphasis and highlight to the home's decor.

"If I could give this company 100 stars, I would. We changed our 2 nd floor from carpet to hardwood floors and needed our staircase rebuilt with hardwood floors. J&J had changed our original handrails/posts and rails a few years back and when this job came up , I knew I wanted them to do it because their work is that good. Different pairs of teams come to do each phase of the work and they are all accomplished, gifted artisans. It is humbling to witness how hard they work when they were here….they took care to protect the rest of the house from dust and clean up at the end of each work day. A heartfelt thank you Justin & Jose … and to your wonderful crews that made my house so beautiful…you are the gold standard and I wish your company all the best!"

"AI and his team did great job for me. Even a small job for a gutter or window trim they are willing to come to reasonable price. I replaced my roofing two years ago from a different company that charged me too much. I regret not meeting Lincoln roofing earlier and I will definitely come back to this company in the future next time I need something fixed 。"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

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. 

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

Yes, building a screened-in porch on an existing deck is absolutely an option, although there are many factors to consider when adding a screened-in porch to a deck. You or the general contractor you hire will need to add a frame to a deck without a previous screen to keep it safe from damage. You’ll also want to work together to make sure your new porch matches your existing home style.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects.
