"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."

"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

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

You can enclose an open carport, however, there are several things to consider before opting to do so. You'll want to check local building codes and permit requirements before proceeding to make sure it’s legal. While you can sometimes stick-frame a carport enclosure, pre-fab kits are also available. Remember that you'll likely need to meet concrete slab regulations and provide lighting inside the structure. Both of which could substantially drive up costs.

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.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.
