"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!"

"I hired Anthony after my previous contractor was always cancelling on me and not showing up. It was refreshing to have a true pro come in with 40 years experience and solve all the problems that were left in my kitchen. Anthony also had great ideas and recommendations that helped in our decision making on completing our kitchen renovation. He was very fairly priced and gave us an itemized breakdown of the costs. I would highly recommend Anthony for any project big or small. He is in my contacts for future projects!!"

"Mike and his team at Euro services did an excellent job remodeling our aging and dated master bathroom. From the very beginning through the end of the process, Mike took the time to meet in person (multiple times), carefully plan the details, assess all options and even went out of his way to secure additional expert opinions to assess feasibilities of all changes that were being discussed, including impact to surrounding structures, etc. that most contractors may not consider within scope of a bathroom remodel. As with most remodel projects, surprises may show up after demo, and when we encountered such issues, Mike prioritized quality of work, issue resolution, with a high degree of transparency throughout the entire process. Mike and his team also put in the extra hours needed to ensure our project was completed within the timelines we targeted. Overall, we are extremely pleased with the final product; quality of work, craftsmanship, customer experience and communication. We will not hesitate to work with this team again in the future and highly recommend Mike for home remodeling projects."

"Channel Contractors did an amazing job renovating our building in Jersey City, which included a shop and apartments above. They provided the lowest estimate, yet the quality of their work was outstanding. Located in a historical district, our building required careful attention to regulations, and Channel Contractors handled everythingâ from acquiring permits to passing inspectionsâ seamlessly. The project was completed on time with zero hassle. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!"

"The best contractors to work with. I have used them at our medical office, home, and rental properties. They are professional, do quality work, at a reasonable price. Everything they have done for us has lead to people asking who renovated our office, who installed the wall paper, built our custom closets, and did a full kitchen and bathroom remodel. They work around your schedule to keep your business running, and clean up as if they were never there. They pay attention to the small details and make sure your vision comes to life. We never felt nickel and dimed for every little thing. The best part is they are great people who take pride in building relationships and doing quality work."

"TNN managed our new construction and land development project from scratch. Tim caught MANY errors by the Engineer and Architect before they could become a problem. He made many great suggestions to elevate our original plans. Work quality is great and they take pride in everything they do. Nick did an amazing job on our trapezoid windows and carpentry work. We highly reccommed TNN and will continue to use them for the next phase of our project (garage) We would be happy to provide a reference and even show the work they completed for our project.

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

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.

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.

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.
